WIBU to be so gullible!

Well, I know I was but in my defence I am 37weeks and not really with it at all.

DP has just asked me what comes after S in the alphabet and I fell for it! The oldest trick in the book!

I thought I had improved after being persuaded to look up gullible in the dictionary by a "friend" when I was 18 - he reckoned the word didn't exist. I only clicked when I was half-way through the definition...

Tell him to make you a brew, you're the pregnant one!

I made the tea Procrastinate, I felt it was my penance for being so gullible. It is the only productive thing I've done all day.

Well,, I must be thick 'cos I don't get it either!

Icelollycraving · 16/03/2012 17:30

T. As in tea? Do you get it now?!

AFuckingKnackeredWoman · 16/03/2012 17:36

Him: what comes after s?
HER:T?
HIM:yes please love I'd love one!

Ooh I feel better knowing others would fall for it too. However, I know all these tricks - how do you spell tsunami, what are those little things you rest your golf balls on etc. I think it was something to do with the annoying cheeky, chappy, cockney humour I grew up surrounded by.

Shock at my own niavety - leave the bastard

Get your own back on him ask him if he's done the chores. When he asks "what chores?" (sounds like what's yours) you can tell him cup of tea please Smile

larks35 · 16/03/2012 17:47

Grin Goawaybob - I would but he's making dinner at the moment so I might wait until he's done that.

A work colleague of mine was so gullible. I told her once that one of the lifts was bugged straight into our managers office, so to be careful what she said!

Marilyn1980 · 16/03/2012 19:16

one of my fellow student midwives was sent to another ward to ask for a long stand, she went and asked for one.

You should have said "P, and I'm going for one, so make me a cuppa" Grin

larks35 · 16/03/2012 19:29

Marilyn - at the last open evening a colleague of mine sent a lovely, eager student helper to the PE dept to ask for a long weight, he was then sent to Art to ask for multi-coloured paint and back to us to ask for a sky hanger. I think he twigged he was having his leg pulled but wasn't sure how!

hiddenhome - I'll definitely remember that one, DP was so chuffed with his own twittery that he is bound to try it again.

I do this to my husband almost nightly... he rarely falls for it any more unfortunately..

"whats that plastic thingy that they put the ball on in golf?"

"what is that junction in the road called?"
