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?

@spatchcock

People who love Friends this much usually have very little to say. I find it a handy guide for who to avoid in life, it's never failed!

Have this

We also make the Ross and Rachel fake swearing sign to each other too.

I have plenty of conversation aside from friends quotes. People who don't engage are often met caution

CadyHeron · 04/05/2018 21:01

Aw cack,that'll teach me not to read the thread first, I see I've been beaten to it lol Blush

Wingingitoften · 04/05/2018 21:01

I want to work where you work!!

NotAnotherNoughtiesTune · 04/05/2018 21:04

Could be worse.

Could be quoting the Inbetweeners 🤢 😆

But yes it can be annoying but very little that you can do.

We like PIZZA!

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 04/05/2018 21:05

Loool fox I make the fake swearing sign to drivers who cut me up when driving 🤣 didn't even occur to me where I'd got it from 🤣

CadyHeron · 04/05/2018 21:08

I’m breezy!

You can't SAY you're breezy, it totally negates the breeziness! Grin

Uggie · 04/05/2018 21:08

You really shouldn’t quote if you aren’t going to do it correctly

Whatever, Linus

Do you even know who Linus is? I know you’re quoting but it makes no sense.

^
I have no idea if the above is a Friend's quote or two people actually disagreeing.

CadyHeron · 04/05/2018 21:19

Uggie

Whatever, Linus is something Rachel said when she was corrected on the show in an episode.
So a funny comeback to the poster Grin
Love this thread

Fluffyears · 04/05/2018 21:23

Oooh I did it wrong. You sound quite joyless maybe your workmates actually think so too.

Linzi14 · 04/05/2018 21:29

Whenever me and my oh have pudding I say...’ just a slither’ ‘god dammit cut me a real piece!’ 🤣

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 04/05/2018 21:40

A Linus is a kind of geeky dorky person I believe.

WomanEqualsAdultHumanFemale · 04/05/2018 21:42

I think Rachel says “whatever, Linus” to Ross, doesn’t she? He’s being over cautious or goody goody about something and she says something like “whatever Linus, I’m doing it” I think. Other, more committed fans will be able to correct me Grin

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 04/05/2018 21:43

He's totally a virgin.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 04/05/2018 21:44

Just not a very cool guy.
It's a dismissive thing to call someone.

WomanEqualsAdultHumanFemale · 04/05/2018 21:46

I was wrong! She says it to chandler when they think they’ve found the hidden presents and he says they shouldn’t open them. She says “whatever Linus, I’m opening mine”. Apparently a reference to a chharlie brown character.

Powerglide · 04/05/2018 21:52

A Linus is a kind of geeky dorky person I believe.

She’s referencing a character from Charlie Brown. She said Linus because of his Christmas speech.

If you don’t even know the reference then it’s weird you would try and quote it as an insult.
