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?

I had my ipod on random this morning & it started playing the Jeremiah was a bullfrog song - reminded me of Chandler singing it (admit I pressed next)

I wasn’t suggesting they’re doing it because it’s on Netflix, I was telling you it’s on Netflix so you can go watch it again. Grin

I'm a teacher. I'm an English teacher.

Do you have ANY idea how many times I mutter to myself: You rambled on for eighteen pages. Front and back! when marking?

I hate it so I would raise a grievance with hr if this kept happening in my office.

They would think you were totally insane!!

Unless you explained that your boss was trying to buy your baby of course Smile

My old boss used to make me watch clips on YouTube and would mouth/mumble along with the words while I sat cringing. I would try and escape and she would say oh just watch this one, its sooooo funny! The Brad Pitt one was her favourite. Must have watched it 50 times with her whiffling on next to me happily showing off her extensive Friends knowledge Grin

Fluffyears · 04/05/2018 18:02

Well this is awkward

Takfujuimoto · 04/05/2018 18:02

Fluffyears · 04/05/2018 18:03

A grievance? Erm I don’t think you can raise a grievance about people quoting friends!

WomanEqualsAdultHumanFemale · 04/05/2018 18:03

cloudyweewee · 04/05/2018 18:05

YABVU. I also like to quote daily from The Simpsons.

Fluffyears · 04/05/2018 18:05

Oh I was just 14 when it came on tv and me and my friend invented a dance to the theme tune Blush wish it had been the Ross and Monica dance!

VerbenaBorensis · 04/05/2018 18:06

Do they 'like big butts? "! If this all that annoys u at work then it can't be bad! If u can't beat em join em.

Bettiedraper · 04/05/2018 18:06

Things like that are very irritating. Hopefully they will grow out of it soon.

Fluffyears · 04/05/2018 18:06

MissionItsPossible · 04/05/2018 18:07

What do you do for work OP? Are you a transponster?

Claire90ftm · 04/05/2018 18:09

Lol, looks like you're preaching to the wrong crowd OP. We're all Friends fans here Grin.

ScreamingValenta · 04/05/2018 18:10

Reminds me of school days with everyone quoting Blackadder!

Ha ha! I still quote Blackadder now, but the number of people who know what I'm talking about is dwindling.
