Sick of my colleagues quoting Friends?

The tv show. I loved the show as much as the next person.

But honestly they quote something from it every day. It’s just not funny hearing it repeated and it’s so old!

Aibu?

@fluffyears That's the best one!!!

Friends quotes wouldn't bother me because I wouldn't recognise them as being 'Friends' quotes having somehow got through life without ever having watched it. I might recognise a few now though.

You signed it baby Kangeroo

Also the thread turned out the way it was suppose to ...

Yes, if you've been on MN more than 5 min, you'd know exactly how it would go. All the ways it would go. Grin

'I'm going home to think about my ex wife and her lesbian lover'
'Hell, let's ALL do that!'

How is this different?

This is weird for ME

deplorabelle · 05/05/2018 09:34

Friends has dated though. In different ways from Blackadder

Joey and Janice's DAY OF FUN!

OP, I know you're talking, but all I hear is " blah, blah, BLAH"

OP - "I am not blah, I am a HOOT!" Grin

Dancergirl · 05/05/2018 10:09

deplorabelle yes it really has. My 15 year old dd has recently worked her way through all 10 series and is shocked by the blatant sexism, homophobia and so on.

runsmidgeOMG · 05/05/2018 10:20

Me and my BFF (yes I said it!) LIVE on friends quotes

She apologised and apologised what more do you want?

We want the last 6 years back...

So do we SO DO WE!!!!!!!!

.... I'm sorry you had to see that

Also moo point? I say moo point all the time, should it be something else ? Like I know it's not a cows opinion n all but is the phrase actually moo point IRL?

MrsJakeLovell · 05/05/2018 10:23

It is a 'moot point' - subject to uncertainty.

And that, my friend, is what you call closure!

falang · 05/05/2018 10:30

When I read this thread I thought Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh MY god.

I still say this when anyone says OMG even though hardly anyone knows what I'm talking about.

runsmidgeOMG · 05/05/2018 10:32

Why thank you MrsJakeLovell

I'll have a fab life with Julie and my new cat ! 😂😂😂

ToffeeNosed · 05/05/2018 10:37

My husband showed me a house for sale, asked what I thought and I said "How you doin'"
Although we probably quote Blackadder more.

falang · 05/05/2018 10:38

I am crying laughing reading this thread. Thanks OP

HavingKittenz · 05/05/2018 11:04

Op you want my advice?

You're not gonna like it....

You started this thread too soon.

"That's not advice!!!", I hear you cry.

I told you!

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 05/05/2018 11:15

YANBU

I have a different opinion of people once they start quoting Friends its tedious

As halfwitpicker posted get them to quote Seinfeld which they pinched quite a few lines from or the fine comedy of Curb Your Enthusiasm

GabsAlot · 05/05/2018 11:19
