Things you can’t resist answering in the same way each time you hear? (Light hearted thread)

[Wouldcouldcantwont]

Hi I’ve just found myself responding to the end of a song and I realise there’s a couple of things I HAVE to reply to each time.

At the end of Cuntry Boys & City Girls (correct spelling!) by the Fratellis a little voice says “Thanks for listening” and I have to say “You’re welcome”. Also, every time a character on Holby or Casualty uses the defibrillator and says “shocking” I reply “isn’t it?”. The family thinks there’s something wrong if miss one.

I’m hoping that I’m not the only person who has these replies!

When the announcer says after the National evening news “And now for the news where you are” we have to say “Where I am?”

The only answer to "Can you put the kettle/oven etc on?" is obviously "well it wont suit me!"

Whenever I'm asked would I like tea or coffee, I always say, I'll have a tea please Bob!

It's a bit more general than some of these, but whenever DP and I say something is X, the other one will respond, "No YOU'RE X!"

Example:

"Oh look at that, isn't that beautiful?"
"No, YOU"'RE beautiful"

or

"It must have been 10 feet tall!"
"No, YOU'RE 10 feet tall"

or

"That was the biggest banana I've ever seen"
"YOU'RE the biggest banana I've ever seen"

It's utterly childish and ridiculous but sometimes it makes us cry laughing

If my husband says 'got the keys?' On the way out I have to say 'got the secret' I know it's technically not how the song goes but 🤷🏻‍♀️

There was a bit in How I Met Your Mother where two of the characters would salute every time someone said a military rank. "That's the general idea"... And they'd salute to 'General Idea.' Can never help myself.

If anyone in my family asks 'Have you seen my/the...', the ONLY response is 'It's up your bum.'.

Here too. We are fully grown adults…

Person, talking to me: "We're going to the pantomime"/"We went to the pantomime "
Me, every single time:"Oh no you're not"/"Oh no you didn't. "

Whenever I hear a carpet advert and they say 'under lay' i shout ARRIBA ARRIBA!!

If anyone talks about carpet underlay I have to shout 'areeebba!!'

When DH says "right" as in right then let's crack on etc I say "left". Every single time - drives him nuts .

From Drag Race but whenever someone says ‘How’s your head?’ I always say ‘No complaints!’ Sometimes just in my head if I’m not with my DH! I’m not a rude person but this always makes me smile!

"Are we nearly there yet?"
DH "yes"
Me "we've got miles to go"

Same 😂

"What do you want to do?"

"I dunno, what do you want to do?"

"Now don't start that again!"

As in the Jungle Book vultures.

Snap! Thing is when done at work the younger people don't get it. Makes me feel old at 36.

Can you put the kettle on? I don't think it'll fit...

Do you want some some tea?
No, I'm all right.
Well, that's a matter of opinion!

“I’ve been thinking…”

“Makes a change” / “Must have been painful”

Reading some of these I realised I do them too!!!! Glad I’m not the only one.

If ever we hear the word 'alert' eg " we must be on alert for..." we will say,
"Britain needs lerts!"

Daft , I know.

Whenever someone says “I woke up this morning” we always follow up with a blues riff.

Also “stop” gets Hammer Time.

When anyone swears in our house someone invariably says "Language, Timothy!" (seriously showing my age there )

Be nice

Oh but I think niceness is way overrated, let us be highly intelligent instead.
