I just said "Sausages"

So, yeah...

I just said "Sausages" in the stupid, growly "That's Life" 'talking dog' voice (you'd have to be old to know what I'm talking about) to the Ocado delivery man, and now I can never order from Ocado again.

I don't know why I said it. I don't think I've ever said it out loud in my life before. I was about three when it was on TV and didn't even know I'd stored it in my brain.

I glanced in a bag and saw some sausages and it just came out.

Delivery man was quite young and fit and looked at me very briefly like I was mad. And then didn't react at all - which was worse. We both sort of pretended nothing happened.

"Sausages". In THAT voice.

Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

😂

Lonelycrab · 18/03/2024 18:07

Brilliant😁

I was actually saying that voice in my head as I opened the thread, before I’d even read the OP

OiGetOff · 18/03/2024 18:08

Bloody funny that OP, and that clip!

😂😂😂

wubwubwub · 18/03/2024 18:08

My nephew is 20 and knows sausages!

RaininSummer · 18/03/2024 18:08

Excellent and quite normal if old enough.

Sameratdifferenthat · 18/03/2024 18:09

Brilliant! I don't always realise how old I've got. We've got a coal fire & I once said to someone at the door something like - sorry my hands are dirty I've just been making the fire. And he said MAKING!? Like I was insane.

Justcallmebebes · 18/03/2024 18:09

Brilliant Grin

Theoldwrinkley · 18/03/2024 18:09

It's the only way! Certainly according to DD's friend who comes for supper every week. He has a limited repertoire of dishes he'll eat, sausages feature frequently. Without fail said in the grisly voice.

Notquitegrownup2 · 18/03/2024 18:10

Honestly, look on it as cultural education. It's basic manners to know that 'sausages' must always be said that way by people of a certain age and that young people should smile and nod politely. Like recognizing what téléphones used to look like. Or that leg warmers were a thing long before 2022 . . .

minipie · 18/03/2024 18:11

Did he not say “Walls” back to you? One star for that driver if not.

JOKING

Notquitegrownup2 · 18/03/2024 18:11

Or whenever it was that leg warmers reappeared . . .

tillytoodles1 · 18/03/2024 18:16

That really made me LOL.

WhycantIkeepthisbloodyplantalive · 18/03/2024 18:16

I laughed reading this.

unbelievablescenes · 18/03/2024 18:19

This is actually hilarious and I don't laugh at much 😂

richardhoymanwantshisknickersback · 18/03/2024 18:28

Hands down, best thread on here in ages

ScierraDoll · 18/03/2024 18:28

Yay brilliant!!!!!
He'll think your absolutely crackers, especially if he's too young to understand it.
Made me laugh, thank you.

Danikm151 · 18/03/2024 18:29

Next time say “potaaaatoes” in that voice

tupperwaretowers · 18/03/2024 18:30

Hope you were wobbling your jaw at the same time.

WotNoUserName · 18/03/2024 18:33

I said "sausages" out loud in that way as I read the thread title. It is the correct way to say it and I'm glad you have taught the delivery driver this.

ThinkingAgainAndAgain · 18/03/2024 18:37

I showed this to my 16yo a few months ago and we were in hysterics. Sometimes I just have to look at him and mouth ‘sausages’ and he just cracks up.

We’re easily pleased.

SlightlyJaded · 18/03/2024 18:38

I have just been saying it front of the mirror - to further torture myself with how mad I would have looked to him.

I said it with my chin tucked low (so forming a double chin) and my jaw sort of locking between syllables.

I KNOW this is the correct methodology, but HE doesn't.

That's always how sausages is said here. Basil is said in the voice of Sybil Fawlty and olive oil in the voice of Popeye. Not to the Ocado man though 🤣🤣

Not to the Ocado man........ yet!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/03/2024 18:40

Thank you @SlightlyJaded for making me laugh 😁

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 18/03/2024 18:41

I remember this. So funny😂
