What do people usually say?

Non-motorbike thread

I make bread and when people find out they always say:
1) Do you have a bread machine?
and then a bit later,
2) Do you make it with seed mixes?

What do people always say when you tell them something you do?

[noggythenog]

ok so this is a common one.

I say..."I have a motorbike"

they say..."oh I couldn't have a bike I'd kill myself"

I always feel offended as if they are somehow implying that they are more hard core than I am...I think they are either trying to say that they have either no self control or that they'd have no skill on a bike, I'm not sure but it always secretly irks me.

[Doddsie]

I often get   "....is that legal?". Followed by "....Dont the sheep mind?"

[fazersharp]

I say I ride a motor bike
they say "ohh that too dangerous"
I say --- yeh THATS WHY I RIDE ------------shuts them the FOC up

Add to this:
"My Mrs would never let me have a bike" or "I'd never let my husband have a bike, just think what you're putting your wife through every time you go out."

Pisses me off too.

I generally just tell them to grow a pair, and remind their mrs it's safer than horse riding!

"I havn't got the patience for that" (angling).Every time. .

[unfazed]

In shops in my full leathers I get "Do you ride a bike"

My standard reply "God no, I dress like this for fun"

[Millietant]

When people ask me what I do and I say I fly helicopters, they tell me they couldn't do that, too scared, they're too dangerous and they'd only ever fly in an aeroplane.


Imagine the reaction if I also said I ride motorbikes !!

I wrote that because I think there was a "What do people say when you tell them you ride a motorbike" thread not too long ago

[darrsi]

Had a tattoo inside of my lip when i was a teenager, as you do, and if ever i show anyone they always say "Did it hurt?"

[Aegis Bearing Mel]

When folks find out my job, "Do you teach with them IN??" whilst pointing at my piercings.

Same with the tattoo one, "Did that hurt?".
No, someone spent 80 hours sticking small needles into my flesh several times a second, it didn't hurt at all...

car/bike detailing.

people always say that they "wouldn't have the patience for it" or "couldn't be bothered with it" as it'll just get dirty again...

If anyone see's me washing the car/bike you always get the "you missed a bit" one... focking hate that. haha

Every time I sneeze in front of my mum she says " I beg your pardon"

so I say " you are pardoned mother"  to which she always makes a face and calls me a smart arse and then I again have to explain that she has said it back to front.....again!

she'll never learn though

[positron]

Was bitten by a stray dog while away on holidays. Back in work, I got a lot of stick (no pun intended), and a week later someone asks "any doggy superpowers yet?".

No, but I can smell bullsh1t from a mile away now.

It doesn't sound very nice now.. oh well..

[Robbie8666]

I live in Cornwall & work near Basingstoke (with digs in Portsmouth... long story...)
 
when people find out I live in Cornwall they ask how long that takes to travel & when I tell them 4 hours they then ask if I do it every day?
when I say I got digs in Portsmouth they say.. thats a long journey!!! lol (its only 35 miles!)

[lew600fazer]

I spent my working life in the Merchant Navy.

When I got home on leave friends would always say

When did you get back, it was usually the first question.

When do you go back, was always their second one

Where did you get to

Saudi Arabia, , there was always someones wife/girlfriend would say how lovely. 

[risticuss]

When people ask what I do for a living, I say, "I'm a pattern-maker", to which they always reply, "What, dresses and suits and that sort of thing?"
I've had someone once say, "You must be good at knitting then..."

[Robbie8666]

i remember as a kid been asked what i wanted to be and my reply was ...
 
a saggers maker bottom knocker!!
didn't get many replies to that!! 

[YamFazFan]

I couldn't be arsed with that, yamfazman, no patience...
