What expressions (or words) drive you nuts?? - Part 3

So, you don't like it in any way, shape or form?

Silly! :-)

That's supposed to be; way, SIZE, shape, or form. Don't leave anything out . digger

What a funny funny thread!!

Gas, liquid, solid or otherwise?

I don't care if the gas is liquid , solid or otherwise , as long as it doesn't stink . Anybody else care ? D

not sure about that - even if it doesn't stink i am told to go out on the porch first.

carbon monoxide has no oder & then it kills you.

Yeah , but you go to sleep first . Stink is added to butane ,propane , natural gas , so you can escape it when it get out . D

Headache then sleepy

I don't know Flower , I don't want to find out . D

Jen - that sounds like marriage.

I love the way this thread takes off in different directions . D

Not sure if I said this one in the first thread, but the six most dreaded words in the English language - 'Does this make me look fat?'

Not a question to ask the DH!

there is no good response to that one.
Even "why do you ask?", guarantees a negative.

It's land-mine territory.

I like to answer "well, yes" just to see the look on the face of the one asking.
I also know how to run fast!

How about='I just need my eyes checked."

This is too funny, when I questioned my husband 'why do you ask, he would say, 'a questioned after a question is no answer'.

When someone asks, 'How do I look?', I like to answer, 'Almost life-like.' Can't do that with my wife.

A beautiful wife like yours Victor would never deserve such an answer

Yes, that's true, Maria. Thank you. Of course, that doesn't stop me from teasing her frequently. ^_^

I was shopping with my sisters one day and there was only 1 jacket left on the sale rack, and she saw it first. I wanted it. I told her it made her look fat. The sales lady couldn't believe it and disagreed with me and asked my other sisters what they thought. Well, my sister bought the jacket, but about 6 months later, she gave it to me because she said it made her look fat.

And she still talks to you?!!

Yes, she's actually worse than I am!

Talk about looking fat.
I had and still have a very good friend, many years ago we went clothes shopping together, she would always buy the same item what ever I chose though she was of a much larger size, it annoyed me because we had many friends in common when we all would get together. I asked my daughter why does she do that, she answered because she is very insecure and knows you dress well and also wants to look as well .
Never complained to her about it but decided to shop alone.

Maria, I had a friend like that as a teenager. It drove me nuts. My mom told me to remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

There was a very expensive leather jacket I wanted, very unusual - and I knew if I bought it, so would she. So instead of buying it for myself, for her birthday, I gave her money toward it so she could have it.

She's still got a 20-inch waist and I... well, l don't, lol, so it's no longer an issue!

When we were teens, my friends & I would call each other in the morning to see what we would wear for the day---it must have been hysterical to see all of us in khaki shorts & blue shirts, but our parents never said a word.

Never ask a woman "when are you due?" Unless you know for certain she's pregnant.

Or 'Miss, you have a run in your stocking', unless you're sure she's wearing them.

Laughing loudly here.

Jen, I've done that. Never again.

I'm guilty too . D

"Been There~Done That" LOL!!

I've asked a few guys when they were due.

To be fired?

Good one Maria!

Here's an odd one from my trip. US Borderguy: 'Welcome to the Lower 48'. I've never heard that expression used at the border before; only in business.

Really? I've heard that many times. However, it can imply that there is an upper 48!

It means, not including Alaska. The rest of us are the lower 48.
