Light-hearted.

Examples. As a teen I worked in a shop, sometimes something doesn't scan and the customer (if paying attention) without fail would say, "Oh, that's free then?" Followed by a chuckle.

I wear very high heels a lot, I get told all the time, "How you don't break your neck in those, I'll never know!"

The latest one, my DP is a head chef, people always say, "Oooh, I bet you get loads of lovely meals cooked for you!" I bloody wish, it's a Busman's Holiday for him, he doesn't want to cook after a day in the kitchen. 😆

@x2boys so you find that 95% of the unoriginal wit comes from men? It's like a competition against themselves Grinx

I have four: the first two while working in a pub at 18 many moons ago.

  1. "are you sure you're old enough to serve me?" I was 4'6 and baby faced.
  2. "Are you sure you're 18 as you're not tall enough" - my response to that was "I didn't realise there were certain height limits related to age!"
  3. "I bet you love that you don't have to diet" - growing up, and only until I had my DCs I was a size 4 naturally, and HATED it! Nothing ever fit properly, and people assuming I had an eating disorder!
  4. (Relating to my size) "Hold on tight, you'll get blown away!"

I used to work in I.T for a massive organisation. I would travel round multiple offices in the county on a daily basis and without fail I’d be sitting at someone’s desk and the office “wit” would say “Ooh Karen’s changed”. Lots of laughter.

Yeah hilarious. My day consisted of having to smile at, “Ooh Maureen, Tracey, Linda, Stacey’s changed” every flipping day.

are you sure you're old enough to serve me?"
I'd have said "no, sorry, you'll have to go somewhere else".
