Yes another unwanted American import!
Like the suddenly hip way of saying "could I get a cup of coffee"?
If I worked in Starbucks I would be saying " No....YOU,. can't get a cup of coffee,,,, I Can GET YOU a cup of coffee,I think what you mean is , could I have a cup of coffee, you stupid Americanised ****!"
God my wife is right. I'm turning into a right sarcastic git........love it!!!!

Yeah...can I get....my ar3e! What utter poo..and those you see wandering around city centres clutching a lidded coffee cup like it's great or something...and others who have a sports type drink bottle they keep swigging out of and they are far from sporty looking...and young people using mobility scooters when their only disability is lack of mobility caused by a chronic case of cola,chips and pizza and a severe dose of idleness and can't be arsed...littering...sniper rifle for Christmas. ...

Cheers

Thats the beauty of living on a boat. Moored up in the middle of nowhere not a house nor a trick or treater in sight.

Makes bobbing for apples a bit more exciting as well!

I used to go around and "happy Halloween", just me the town was deserted, a lone figure in black, holding a curved swede with a candle in with a bit of string banging on peoples doors, used to make enough to pay for homebrewing equipment :grin: Swiftly followed by penny for the guy for 5 days, all would do that, and after that a full 6 weeks of caroling :lol:

Edit: Forgot to add the Happy New Year market, used to make the most that night, friends and I would sit outside a club and cadge of the drunk and diminative.

The best one is in Macdonalds when they say "Sorry about your wait"

I usually reply " Yes I know I am on a diet but today is an exception"

Then I stand back and look as it flies straight over their heads!

I would never buy a cup of coffee in a shop where if i asked for a cup of coffee they would ask me which one.

Don't know if it's an American thing but I have even had someone apologise about the weather when we were on hols down Devon or somewhere and it was tipping down! I asked them if it was their fault and could they make it snow! For Christ's sake!
A few years ago in work some of us,including some office ladies,were doing some fire training outside. .putting out fires with extinguishers. .that sort of thing. Anyway there was an almighty stench in the air as some nearby Farmer was spreading. .some right *** working with us fancied himself as a bit of a lad with the ladies and apologised for the smell...I said..is that you, I thought it was cow ****? He said..you're not funny...I said. ..everyone's laughing..

I hate it when you ring a call centre and they (at some point) say "do you mind if i put you on hold" its just taken you half a fecking hour to get through do they honestly think you are going to say "yes i do i am in a hurry i will ring back later"

Last week in a local Greggs I bought one of their white bloomer loafs* and took it to the till. The assistant then said " is that to take away"?????

Next time I will be ready for her with " No I just thought I would make some sandwiches right here in the shop!


* The previous week I had been to the same shop for a loaf, none on the shelf and asked the assistant " have you got any white bloomers" without realising what I was saying!
She got me a loaf without even the hint of a smile.

Just look up halloween on wikipaedia. The Yanks nicked it from the Brits and Irish. The only thing America brought to it was pumpkins and dressing up as spiderman etc.
Try carving a turnip lantern, that'll put hairs on your chest.
