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?

CHANDLER: 'Joey your tailor is a very bad man, a VERY bad man...... '

ROSS: 'What?'

CHANDLER: 'He took advantage of me..... Oh, come on. He said he was going to do my inseam, and then he ran his hand up my leg, and then there was definite... cupping.'

JOEY: 'Tell him Ross, that's the way tailors measure you isn't it?'

ROSS: 'Yes of course it is... IN PRISON!!!!! What the hell is wrong with you?!!!' Grin

And yeah @bettyboo the 'PAPER, SNOW, A GHOST!' one (where Joey is on Jeopardy) is quiet hilarious! Grin

And RACHEL: (After sleeping with Ross after they made up briefly after the 'we were on a break' incident....)

'Just so as ya know, it's not all that common, it doesn't happen to every guy and it IS a big deal!'

CHANDLER: 'I KNEW IT!' Grin

PHOEBE's 'farm animal song...'

'The cow in the meadow goes moo...The cow in the meadow goes moo...'

'Then the farmer hits him on the head and grinds him up and that's how you get HAMburgers........'

'Now...... CHICKENS!!!' Grin

hungryhungryhippo8 · 04/05/2018 18:41

It's like a cow's opinion; it doesn't matter. It's moo.

happynapper99 · 04/05/2018 18:43

You'd hate our office then. Half of what we say if friends or movie quotes. Plus we throw in some books quotes for good measure.

I'm impressed at how good all our memories are to remember all of this word for word!

goforkyourself · 04/05/2018 18:47

Did they eat YOUR SANDWICH op?

adaline · 04/05/2018 18:48

UNAGI.

IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 04/05/2018 18:48

OP

Frankly you're being so reasonable. In fact you're so past being reasonable. Reasonable is a dot to you.

I think you need to get in a box and think about what you said Angry

BeyondThePage · 04/05/2018 18:49

Hate friends - so I get you OP!

Watched a few to see what I was missing and there is a heck of a lot of porn references on there, and Ross's obsession with Rachel is just creepy - perhaps I just watched "the wrong" episodes - there's certainly plenty of them.

SoapOnARoap · 04/05/2018 18:49

They sound tedious.

Colin Hunt from The Fast Show summed up these unimaginative goons perfectly.

I feel your pain

IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 04/05/2018 18:50

@adaline are you aware that unagi is an eel? Grin

Loobyloomicles · 04/05/2018 18:51

My DH and I can't mention fajitas without saying/shouting it the way Ross does when he's 'fine'.

And the Ross bit from the hotel in Vermont ("Salt shakers? No no no. Salt? Yes yes yes.") gets reworded on various occasions....

We also came way (no way!) too close to doing the dance for our first wedding dance but, to be fair, we do acknowledge that we're not very cool.

WomanEqualsAdultHumanFemale · 04/05/2018 18:51

OP when your colleagues start the friends quotes you should just cut them off with “you know, I know you’re taking but all I hear is blah blah blah blah blah” 😂

adaline · 04/05/2018 18:53

@IfyouseeRitaMoreno Actually, Unagi is a total state of awareness, only by achieving true unagi can you be prepared for any danger that may befall you!

ThymeLord · 04/05/2018 18:54

I don't suppose you care op, but my wallet's too small for my fifties and my diamond shoes are too tight!

Nilesthoughlovelyisodd · 04/05/2018 18:54

I quote Frasier, still love it. Surprisingly, there is often a quote from Frasier ,for life”s everyday details Smile
