I just said "Sausages"

[SlightlyJaded]

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.

FFS

We still say that whenever we eat them

Just when I thought your story couldn’t get any funnier 😂😂😂

You now need to not only move but burn the house down too.

Well you've provided him a valuable bit of education then!

Would changing supermarkets be a less drastic solution than moving house?

Ah OP I would have done it, seen he didn't understand and then explained in great agonising detail what it was from. At least you didn't!

🤣🤣🤣

I once said 'garlic bread' in Peter Kay voice in the middle of Aldi, so loud, for no apparent reason. Mortifying 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! Bloody brilliant!

Love this! Thank you for making me laugh on a dreary Monday. Even better that the delivery man gave no reaction 😂

@TheDogsMother It seems entirely reasonable to me so say 'Basil' in the Sybil Fawlty voice . Thank fuck I hadn't ordered any today - t'would have been a full Vaudeville performance.

I used to have to give my mum pills every night and I got into this earworm thing that when whenever I got them out of the cupboard, I would sing "medication, mmm, medication that's what you need" to the tune of Roy Castle singing 'Dedication' with his trumpet at the end of Record Breakers. It took about six months but eventually the lovely Polish carer said to me in broken English "I don't think I have known this song. No one have ever sang it with the tablets before?"

At least I had the opportunity to sort of explain it, although it was, I suspect, very much lost in translation.

This made me lol 😂

This has made my day! Thank you OP! 😂😂😂😂.

Now I need to make a sausage sarnie!! Xx

Snap 😆

Oh @SlightlyJaded I am so on the same page as you. My family don't think I'm funny in the slightest but this is so my sense of humour!

I also knew exactly what you meant from the thread title!

Just think of it as providing some essential education to the delivery driver - cultural capital if you will

This is the sort of thing I do.
Today a woman in my local shop replied to a ringing bell with 'I'll name that tune in' the young guy serving her looked at her as if she was batty.

Oh @SlightlyJaded can I join you? I accidentally exposed myself to a Tory MP and 100 other strangers today. I don't know how much they saw because I am short and was stood behind a tall lecturn at the time.

I often say 'sausages' in this way, although more to dh who understands it rather than the hot young Ocado driver!

Yeah I’ve know to sing “I need a wee wee” to the tune of I need a hero… got a few looks for that

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I haven’t laughed this hard for ages.

Also entirely understandable.

I have just realised that I might actually be a bit batty.

Only two months ago in Sainsbury they were practicing an emergency thing. It wasn't an alarm but a recorded voice over the tannoy system that intermittently said "Emergency". For some reason she had an American accent so I turned to a complete stranger and said "Paging Doctor Beat".

And nothing.

It was actually almost equally mortifying but at least I could wizz past, head held high, and kid myself that maybe they thought I was on a phone call.

But that surely, is the logical response?

I thought you meant the TV ad for Wall’s sausages, years ago, where the bloke says to the dog, ‘Say sausages!’ and dog says a woofy sort of ‘Walls!’

@SlightlyJaded

If it makes you feel better, I took the boys for a haircut at the barber yesterday. As I was paying, the barber HANDED ME MY KNICKERS and said, ‘you dropped these’. They must have fallen out of my trousers.

DH looked at me like this >>>

A-MA-ZING

Sausages is all I got.

Try saying sausages and mashed potato!
