Just that, nice and lighthearted. I sometimes beep and at random people I don't know as I'm driving and wave enthusiastically as if I know them. Their reactions are so funny sometimes, especially the ones who wave and look totally confused 😂

When DH starts singing I start humming the tune of Wombling Merry Christmas which interrupts his singing and earworms him .. within about a minute he will unintentionally be singing it everytime Grin

Ignore the dog trying to get my attention for cheese until she "asks" for it with a purr/growl/snoring noise..

Loving the IKEA Narnia story Grin

And this :

When my carer came in I once asked him to check the bathroom for a leak.

He came back out and threatened to beat me to death with the leek he found.

I remembered another weird thing I do... I label things in odd ways when I put them in the freezer. I only used to label things that might not be identifiable but DH complained that I wasn't labelling clear plastic bags. Obviously now they're always labelled, even when you can clearly see what's in them. Today I packaged up "7 skinny oinkers." We use half a packet of bacon every week & I'm running out of random descriptions. I might just start labelling in blatantly inaccurate ways... It can be "pencil shavings" next time.

@ElsieMc

My friend used to alter labels at the shop she worked in, changing all the sheepskin rugs to sheepskin bugs as in "care of your new sheepskin bug..." The owner was not impressed. I was mystified to receive a leaflet in the post about said bugs. The final straw was her dressing the shop mannequins in rude and offensive gear when they were meant to be wearing outdoor waterproof hiking ensembles.
What rude and offensive gear does a (presumably) outdoors/ homeware shop sell?

I put our shoes into sexual positions in the middle of the doormat. Not often as it doesn't work too well unless it is missionary though.

The kids got some free tricks with the Beano mag ages ago. Amongst them was this weird little tiny freaky hand that you pop onto your finger. Well, freaky hand “disappears” and “appears” in random places. Whoever finds it (and sometimes it’s months) will always shout “ew Freaky Hand”, wave it around then it’s their turn to hide it. Must have been going on for the best part of 7 years. Constant source of amusement for me and the kids!

These are hilarious!

JosephineBaker · 25/02/2021 04:11

It’s 4am and I can’t sleep. I am shaking with laughter at so many of these as I try not to wake DH. I love you lot.

My carer and I also have drinking games for TV cooking shows. We don't actually drink we just shout 'drink' when certain words/phrases are used.

This started with Aus My Kitchen Rules.

"Under the pump" - drink
"We don't want to overcook it and we don't want to undercook it" - drink

Notjustanymum · 25/02/2021 07:57

I narrate my dog’s reactions to life as if I’m her talking, and I watch the journo’s questions on Covid whenever there’s an update on TV...

@MustardMitt

A fart never fails to amuse! I particularly like the squeaky ones Grin

I love to jump scare my boys too. Did myself in today though, thought DS3 was upstairs with me so I commando crawled to jump at him and he’d gone out with DH.

When in the office I would sometimes airdrop this image to random people, just looking at its stupid face cracks me up!

I saved that picture from another thread you posted it on and I send it to my husband and family every so often because I find it so funny Grin
truetuesdays · 25/02/2021 16:03

I pretend I can't hear my husband sometimes so he loses his shit trying to call out to me from another room

I play hide and seek with the dogs sometimes as well. Their reaction when they find you is priceless

@TeeBee
Could you give me the name of the Shopping App that you use please?
Thanks Smile

TeeBee · 25/02/2021 18:29

We just use AnyList. Just means we can jot things down as they run out. I also use it as a way to know when OH is on his way home as I can see he's crossing off the shopping list. Domestic bliss 😊

I made up a dance routine to the Antiques Roadshow theme tune. I perform it every now and then.

I also sing the “It’s the Weekend! Saturday and Sunday too with C Beeeeeeebies” song when I finish work on a Thursday (I don’t work Fridays 😃) The first time I did this the DCs joined in and promptly burst into tears when I told them they had school the next day.

Anystarinthesky · 25/02/2021 20:57

I used to like pressing the demonstration door bell chimes in B & Q while DP buying paint etc. He would have to drag me away!

I like dancing with DDog. He is nearly a big as me. We like 'I'm in the mood for dancing' and 'You make me feel like dancing'. Always makes me laugh.

My carer and I also have drinking games for TV cooking shows. We don't actually drink we just shout 'drink' when certain words/phrases are used.

This started with Aus My Kitchen Rules.

"Under the pump" - drink
"We don't want to overcook it and we don't want to undercook it" - drink

I do this - it started with F1 drivers interviews. Overuse of the phrase "for sure".

Whenever anyone says "For sure" - I shout "DRINK!".

Problem is, it seems to be a European habit, and I work with a team of Eastern Europeans. When on a work call I make sure I'm on mute when some of them are speaking, just in case!
