Things people say that they think are funny...but aren't?

One that wore thin for me very quickly was throughout Rachel's pregnancy I had people saying 'oooh, I hope you're getting lots of sleep in now'.

Why? Can I save it up and then use all that extra sleep when I'm not having much?

And of course I'm not having much sleep anyway, my wife is x months pregnant, huge, hormonal and is not sleeping well. Do you think I'm sleeping?

I swear its just something you are obliged to say to pregnant people and their OHs. Its like when you park up and someone is washing their car nearby. I've considered resisting but ultimately, you know you're going to say it and they know you're going to say it, so its better just to get it out the way rather than have the awkward wait and silence. We all live in hope too that one day that festidious and thorough car washer might have thought ' actually he seemed a nice bloke, and he asked politely, i've got a spare twenty minutes, I've got all the stuff out - sod it, I'll wash his car.'

For anyone who's ever worked in retail... when an item doesn't have a price on it or the customer just hasn't bothered to look and they 'jokingly' ask "Does that mean it's free".

F**k off.

Too damn right. +1 for that. Get that almost every time I work.

I used to work for John Lewis whilst I was at Uni, it sounds 1000x more annoying coming out of a plummy, posh tw*ts face.

Funny that. 'Cos a fist looks 1000x more satisfying going in to a plummy, posh tw*ts face.

Can't believe I forgot "Cheer up, it might never happen".

My dad, who was a brilliant bloke, used to say that to people sometimes and I would cringe every time, as you just knew the person he said it to was thinking "tosser", whilst I knew he really was anything but.

Incidentally, I must confess I've said "That's a potential banana skin" to people eating bananas on more than one occasion.

I guess I'm guilty of being unfunny too...

I'm a manager at a pub,

I get 'stella fella'.

Or to the girls

'Carling darling'....

Makes me want to hit them with my cricket bat....

Stop selling those and just provide pints of gin and orange, that'll nack them.

Probably been mentioned already but all the stay calm puns on posters mugs etc

Great call. I was thinking about how much I hate that yesterday. I'm so sick of seeing them. "Oh, look how clever I am - I changed the words on a famous poster." P1SS OFF!

I used to agree but we have both a keep calm and a panic and freak out poster at work and they're both very appropriate. Made me giggle when we put em up, to be fair, and usually gets a chuckle out of people passing through.

They sum up the council perfectly.

Or did you have a fight with a lawnmower, after any haircut good or bad.

This... and "did you have your ears lowered"?

Relentless "Phunny pictures" about how stupid Christianity is. Fine if that's what floats your boat but do we really need 20 a week?

Where do we find these?
