My dm always used to say when df had gone for petrol - he's ear......fell off.

Whenever someone says "bear with me" I put my hands up in paws and growl.

I wasn't allowed to stay at the trump hotel in NYC because I giggle at the word "trump"

Colleague often says "question...?!" And I respond with "tell me what you think about me" a la destinys child.

I also sing people's names down the phone and sometimes say them/sing them with funny accents. Eg colleague Clive today was "cleeeevaaaaaaayyyy!"

TheCrowFromBelow · 27/04/2016 19:54

ParadiseCity I have to sing that GnR song in the manner of Julie Andrews.

We used to have "stop- NappyTime" in our house.

Open the door is ALWAYS followed by get on the floor Blush

Me and DH quote from the TV adaptation of Cold Comfort Farm

"And they'll be no butter in hell!" if the other one is harping on about some minor thing the other has done wrong.

IpanemaChica · 27/04/2016 20:14

If anyone has a problem with anything I always say in a solemn voice "Houston we have a problem". Cue lots of eye rolling from the dc and Blush from me, doesn't stop me though.

DH and I always do the "have you got the key?" "I've got the secret" thing, ever since we got together at a works thing 15 years ago!

And I am always saying aloud to myself "ave a cup of tea and think about leaving the house" before I go out anywhere Confused

DS has a wee wee song to the tune of Moves Like Jagger (is that the name? I'm v old and really dont care!). So:

Doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
I've got a wee wee, i've got a wee wee.

Whenever DH stands with his hands on his hips i ask him 'where's your washboard?' (Paul Whitehouse).

If someone mentions a war i state 'they didn't bomb Eccles!' (Victoria Wood).

I teach English and at the moment all my students are studying for exams, most of them (about 47!) for the same exam so the same pictures are being used to help with their speaking practise. At least two of them have backpacks somewhere in the photo and in my head i shout VALL DE REE [ha ha ha ha ha] VALL DE RAA

I'm getting on my own tits.

Girlwhowearsglasses · 27/04/2016 20:35

Just thought of another i do. When DC or Hubby ask for ice in drink I have to sing "ice ice Baby"

Badders123 · 27/04/2016 21:17

My late dad used to wind us up when we were kids wrt song lyrics
My brother and I still sing the opening lines to chicitita by abba thus;
"Take your teeth out, tell me what's wrong..."
Smile

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 27/04/2016 21:20

badders that is brilliant. I am adopting it.

millionsofpeaches · 27/04/2016 21:22

Yy to flash, ahhaaaa.

We also do:
"blood", "I'll get it", in a nanny voice
If someone says listen, you have to say, do you smell something?
If someone says something daft dh says, that's crazy talk, and I have to say, no that's my brother.
Boom, is always followed by a number of other booms in the style of baldrick. The dcs do this instead of saying pop at the end of the tiny turtle song for some reason.

BitchAdministrator · 27/04/2016 21:27

It's bartholomew bear who couldn't find it ANYWHERE!the lost kitten Grin

HoneyDragon · 27/04/2016 21:29

I always answer the landline if it is an unknown number with

North Pole. Duty Penguin.

Or

Stone Henge. Duty Druid.

As does Dh.

How about 'Battersea Dogs' Home - Duty dog speaking"!

Shakey15000 · 27/04/2016 21:44

Brilliant Grin

  1. I also have a "song for every occasion" ( ba dum-tish!) and drive my family and friends (DS especially) mad as I must burst into random song multiple times during the day. Juust started a new job so being conservative atm. It won't last long.
  1. If someone mentions "Crete" my DH will ALWAYS say immediately afterwards "Ah, Creta" because he thinks it's the correct/Greek/authentic way it should be pronounced. I have no idea if he's right. I do know however that it annoys the fuck out of me and whoever he says it to looks like this Hmm
Badders123 · 27/04/2016 21:46

I swear I didn't know it was wrong until I did karaoke at a student party and everyone was looking at me like I was insane Smile
The bugger Smile

Shakey15000 · 27/04/2016 21:46

Ooh and if anyone mentions the word "rucksack" I say "Ya gun pleased to help me wiz my rooksack?" (phonetic) a la Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading places.

BatmanLovesMarmite · 27/04/2016 21:47

I am proud to say my TA and I are training our primary class in many of these:

I've got the key, I've got the secret
STOP! Collaborate and listen
You are GOLD, gold!
You didn't want to do that

Probably loads more - I'll miss her if she moves on!

FrankiesKnuckle · 27/04/2016 21:47

My shoulders are silently shaking next to my husband here.....
YY to a lot of these, esp the key, the secret
and the airplane ones. I realise I am in fact completely normal now!

Mine to add, whenever I see a FB status end in 'woop woop' I silently add "that's da sound of da po-lice" NWA stylee..... Grin

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 27/04/2016 21:53

Originalmavis - meringue sort-of sounds like Am I wrong?' In a NE accent, hence the answer, 'Nah, yer reet' - no, you're right.

Whenever Law and Order or Law and Order:SVU start, I have to recite the "In New York City......" bit, in a deep, fake American accent. All the family roll their eyes at me.

And whenever the Hairy Bikers are on the TV, I say, "I'd do Si, I wouldn't do Dave" - cue more eye-rolling.

MooseAndSquirrel · 27/04/2016 21:54

Posted earlier but now realise I do more than I thought, least 80% of this thread - but only as I was thinking about them today I realised my 8yr old also responds to
Question - tell me what you think about me (dont think she's actually heard the song mind)
My own mother is to blame for this awesome behaviour, we just had the conversation
Mum - I might get a stepper
Me - will you be a hot stepper?
Mum - turn it up!
The song continued .....

HoneyDragon · 27/04/2016 21:54

SDTG .... Grin it's on the list

When I see a sign saying 'Mud on road' I have to sing 'that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, I really love your tiger feet.'

If there is a sign saying 'this door is alarmed' I have to whisper 'there, there, everything's okay.'

When I remember something embarrassing I have to whistle, or sing la la la and skip. Mr Crap has to say 'there are bunnies' to distract himself from remembering embarrassing things.

Whenever anyone says 'Shall I put the kettle on?' the response is always 'I don't think it will suit you.'
