'Let Me be Frank'

[KillerMuffin]

I hate two expressions the most, the stupid one on my face when I forget what I'm talking about and... whats the other one? I forgot.

*snicker snicker 3 musketeers snicker*

The two phrases I heard alot that make me want to scream and beat someone with whiffle ball bat were:

"PAAAAHH-RAADE rest." in that tone of voice too. There is nothing restful about it. It hurts. Alot. My left rotator cuff will never be the same again.

From the RDC (navy version of the Boot Camp Drill Instructor) in that I dare you to repeat that so I can have a cow and make you do pushups till you grow a brain "WHAT did you say recruit?"

Ummmm, in case you're wondering, I always honestly answered that question cause the RDC would turn interesting colors. I couldn't do a single pushup when I got there, 6 weeks later I busted out 138 narrow grip pushups. Go figger. I NEVER say anything rash or smartassed or might get me in trouble. Butter wouldn't melt in my mouth... ( another totally stupid thing. LIke having your cake and eat it too? What?

*slinks back into the shadows grumbling* Shuttin up....

 

[KillerMuffin]

Oh yeah, one other group of words I hate, anything that comes out of Britney Spears' mouth. Ickkkky.

 

[teresafannin]

Any one who has ever worked in a restaurant or retail store has probably heard this one-"Do you work here?" No, I just wear this name tag or uniform because it looks good-how stupid is that?

 

[FlamingoBlue]

How about:

1. You are asked "May I say who is calling?" (I usually say yes, and then wait.)
2. Someone says" With all due respect" and then proceeds to ream you a new asshole.
3. You are told "It will just be a second" and you are put on hold until the next day.

There are so many more but I'll let the rest of you send them in.

ROFLMAO Damn, I can't tell you how many times I've heard that one! Exactly! I'm wearing this ugly-ass red-orange vest and a big AAFES name tag, and they ask a stupid question like that!

"Hello! Is there anybody home? I guess not."

Ok I could only think about one earlier, but somebody mentioned it, so I couldn't do it. But now I just remembered another one, it might be loose some in the translation.

Upon meeting somebody you know in a supermarket/restaurant:

So you're out shopping/earting too??

Man isn't it obivious if I'm in the supermarket with a basket full of groceries that I'm shopping???

Somebody that I knew but didn't like once asked me in a cafeteria, upon seeing me sitting and eating "so you're having lunch here too?" And I promptly answered "No",. Talk about conversation killer! lol

LOL

Came through loud and clear, Shyguy.

 

[FlamingoBlue]

And then there's....

The "you aren't really gonna do/eat/wear, etc. that are you?"
I remember my wife asking me, after I came home from work, "You didn't wear that suit, shirt and tie combo to Court today, did you?" To which I replied, "No, I changed clothes in the car, on the way home." She smiled and has never asked the silly question again.

I prefer the expression "i'll be frank"

It is far better than "I'll be honest with you"

Oh? Were you lieing to me all the other times?

 

[Savage Kitten]

I prefer the expression "i'll be frank"

ummmmm it goes back to my orginal question... who the hell is frank? and why would you rather be him than honest??? hehe

this frank guy seems quite the fellow and very popular.. instead of trying to be like the jone's i think we should aspire to be more like the frank's *lol*

 

[Expertise]

Well why wouldn't Frank be popular....he gets good grades, hes a snappy dresser, has a cool car and the chicks dig him...

Frank rocks!

*I wish I could be like Frank*

 

[Endlessly]

But I thought it was MY turn to be Frank today!

funny story. I was sleeping soundly in my dorm room at about 11 AM last semester (yes, I should have been in class) when a friend of mine came banging on my door. I started to sort of wake up, but not completely. Then I heard her yell, "I know you're up, I can hear you typing!" My instinct was to yell back, "I'm asleep, you dumbass!" but I doubt she would have believed me.

One thing that gets me telephone-wise. These people who I've talked to on the phone on a regular basis for YEARS, many of whom have remarked I have a distinctive voice.. Half the time when I say hello, they ask, "Is ... home?"

My reply, in a perfunctorily polite tone is "Yes I am." Half the time they'll ask me to go get myself before they realize what I said. Other pet peeves of mine:

"Same differance." Ugh. I don't know why that bugs me. I prefer same THING.

"You're kidding me." Yes. Yes, I thought telling you that a mutual friend was in a horrible car accident would be amusing.

"Did you realize..?" No, please get out the sock puppets, or use small words so that I can understand you.

 

[Savage Kitten]

oh my Endlessly... I am SOOOOOOO guilty!!! hehe..when i call people who i know.. and am real familiar with their voice (or i think i am familiar) i always kind ask.. 'Hi Charles?' just because i have been WRONG soooo many times hahaha

and i do say SAME DIFFERENCE all the time... maybe cause i'm a smart ass haha

hehe and i have shaken someone when i knew good and well that they were sound asleep and asked them 'are you awake?'

lmao too freakin funny!

 

[Bonnie Wee Lassie]

I like to say to people when they say let me be frank
Awww I wanted to be frank this time.

Lol

[Mortto56]

Hey Thumper,that sounds like it would have been a grin....Hum! maybe I could do that to my in-laws.WWWWWAAAAAA!

 

[Endlessly]

*L* My favorite is this:

"Look.. I'll be frank."

"Okay.. I'll be Bob."

 

[KillerMuffin]

AAFES gawd forbid...

Hey April I feel for ya, reallllllly feel for ya, AAFES SUCKS!!! Primarily cause the guys HAVE to wear all of the uniforms in there, can't leave the shirts at the door. DOH!!!!

*taps April on the shoulder*

"Scuse me miss, do you work here?" *totally misunderstanding that go to mother fucking hell you stupid dirtbag expression and saccharine sweet tone of voice "Cool. Where do they keep the condoms? Wanna go out Friday?"

 

[April]

I can go one better than that, even. AAFES Europe! Where everyone, I mean everyone had to have their ID checked! Guess who got stuck with that duty quite often? UGH!! I won't even go into that, it was so ugly!

 

[KillerMuffin]

they do it here too, all the time, and guess who frequently wonders exactly where it was she left her ID while frantically searching through her purse only to overlook about 40 times, meanwhile the line grows longer, more impatient, and a little restive behind until some one screams "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON UP THERE!!!" and is promptly chastised by some higher ranking individual with too much full of himself attitude and probably just made that rank and therefore thinks he's gawd hisself.

I am the queen of the runon sentence. All subjects bow at my incomprehensible feet.
