I just went in Subway and said

[WhyDidISayThatHuh]

To the young guy working there.

"Hi, Can I get 6 inches please" followed by silence.

😐

To make it worse he was definitely trying not to laugh. I am never going in there again.

It made me laugh, GS is giving me a funny look but I can't really explain why I'm laughing to a teenage boy.

This is amazing

😄 I'd have laughed too. Life is short, enjoy the daft moments.

I laughed when I got outside at myself but I was mortified and could just feel the heat rising in my face 😂

Did you get it? Lol

Well at least you weren’t unreasonable and demanded 12 inches

Well that's awesome 😆

What were you trying to ask for? I’ve not been in to a subway but I thought it was sandwiches so the mind boggles!

I think OP should return tomorow and demand 12 inches with a completely straight face. Say something like the 6 inches were good but she needs something more satisfying that'll last a bit longer 🥖

Isn’t that what everyone says when they go to Subway? They either ask for a 6 inch or a 12 inch.

You need to go back again and see how far you can go without laughing.

I like meat,
Not cheesy,
Hot please,
A squirt of mayo,
Anything less is not satisfying.....

This is a land of innuendo !

Just laugh with him next time

Well I'd usually say 'Hi, Can I get a 6 inch BMT'

And the next question is what bread.

But I just asked for 6 inches and stared a him as in my head I'd asked for a BMT as normal.

Doesn't everyone ask for 6 inch? Otherwise how would they know what you want?

Not quite. I'd usually say "can I have a 6" honey oat meatball marinara" rather than "can I have 6 inches?" 😄

I think that’s what many people say in Subway, the size, followed by bread and then go down the line adding fillings.

I saw a reel on Instagram that was a clip from a sandwich factory and the voice over was saying 'now we just add a jizz of mayonnaise' to which I was like 🤢 but subsequent conversations with friends have revealed that they all knew in their heads the kind of amount 'one jizz' would represent 😆

Well, on the plus side, you ordered the best sandwich. As long as you got it on Italian herb and cheese, with all of the salad and honey mustard sauce, that is. No cheese, untoasted. Thanks. 😏

Just ask for 15 cm.

😆

Sadly they're only actually 5 inches

So typical over exaggeration then 😂

"I've heard you've got 12 inches back there..."
Is what I said to a subway worker... "I'm not sure I can handle a full 12 inches..." I continued, "can I just have a hot 6 incher... with plenty of cheese and sauce." I finished, with a wry smile...
the look on the face of the man who was serving was just flat and dead, not even a knowing smile or wink...
Much deflated, I took my limp 6 incher, sat in the corner and stuck it in me gob.

I did get a chance to speak to a Subway worker, not the same one that served me, but another one. Apparently a LOT of people make the same type of jokes and after the first few times, it stops being funny and handling 12inchers all the time becomes tiring.

Dd and I still laugh about the time we stopped at a subway on a long journey and ordered our sandwiches only to be told they had no bread. At all.

He actually let us stand there and say our orders before he politely informed us there was no bread. Why he and a colleague were stood there behind the counter wearing plastic gloves as if ready to make sandwiches I will never understand. I mean, why not just close up shop? What is the point of subway exactly if they are unable to make sandwiches?🤣
