I am ALWAYS getting asked for directions, even when we’re on holiday and I don’t know the city.

There must be something about the way I look that makes people think I spend my time pouring over maps. Maybe it’s the technical jacket.

really annoying that, isn’t it.

if someone orders what you were gonna order

  • still getting it
  • ffs i’ll get something else

“oh hi, do you want to come to [thing you don’t want to go to]?”

  • i um, eh, i’ve got a thing… eh

Depends who it is.

If we’re eating somewhere new, my girlfriend and I will usually coordinate it so that we get different dishes and can share.

If it’s one other person in a large group, then I’d probably stick with my first choice.

if it’s a date or something where there’s just two of us… something else. if i’m in a big group, i’ll stick.

probably <4 people is the cut off for changing my order.

Used to get this all the time when I started seeing my gf down here. Didn’t know the first thing about london geography but I guess I was standing about outside smoking a lot.

It really gives me the rage when someone is funny about getting the same thing as me. Just get what you want! I’m not sharing.

I am physically incapable of saying someone’s name without putting a lengthy ‘ummmm’ before it

Not that much, but i do find myself saying things over and over again, like starting sentences with ‘Basically…’ or ‘To be honest…’, or "Look, mate…’.

I was staying with family in Germany years back, and one of the Germans asked me what this “mind you” phrase I kept saying actually meant. Stumped me a bit to be honest.

Love to do this to my bf and be like “you looked away so that means you’re a liar”

but I also do quick tester questions like “do you like pizza?” and then straight away “did you leave that fucking chair out AGAIN??!!”

I’m very un-umm and err with my purchases and most of my decisions tbh. I just go for it.

This doesn’t work out in my favour. I had to put some drain unblocker down the drain and it was like salts and you’re supposed to slowly pour them in until they all go down but no I didn’t umm and ahh about it, just chucked the whole lot in the sink and tried to force it down with a fork.

Did not work and i’ve damaged the sink a bit and almost poisoned myself on the fumes but ah what can ya do

Though I can’t help but feel that mr meo is on a golf forum somewhere telling his golf cronies how much he’s annoying his partner by not tucking in a chair.
