Stupid things people have actually said to you.

[SpetsnaZ99]

have you been on the voddy and smokes again, cos i didn't understand any of that.

[Judo]

what's not to understand? Saw 5 is a shit film, belfast is not in scotland and protestants being 'protesting catholics' certainly did not come before catholocism.

[JamesC]

I was talking about that one thing a good looking perspective partner says that makes them instantly not the elusive 'One'.

Me - when asked a guy what his favourite film ever was he said Saw V. Like SRSLY its not even the best *saw* never mind the best film. Also when asked what he does when not exercising he said 'whatver'. Whatever isn't a hobby.

A couple friends noted there's as 'belfasts in scotland' and 'protestanism came before catholosism'. Dont dick stupid or whatever corresponding phrase you wish to use x

I once dumped a girl because she'd never heard of the Middle East.

Actually the main beliefs of protestantism* probably do pre-date Catholicism... but you're not wrong. They weren't called protestants back then.

*Salvation through grace, rather than works, and 'The Just Shall Live by Faith'. All actually written in the Bible hundreds of years before the Catholic Church appeared. Not that Catholics don't believe in those ideas too, but they put a lot more emphasis on salvation through works, absolution, etc.

Funny - I once dumped a girl after she asked me 'would it be okay with you if I went on a date with somebody else?'

Surely THAT'S got to be a candidate for one of the stupidest things anyone can say to another person?

I once dumped a girl when she tried the classic "Its not you its me" line...
I then said 'yeah i know, it is you' and walked off

My sister: "Satsuma? Is that those fat Japanese guys that fight each other?"

I think I'm adopted.

I only just realised that the great jazz trumpeter and the all round radio broadcasting wit Humphrey Littleton were actually the same bloke. Doh.

That made my day, that did!   

Some great ones in this thread today!  'Satsuma' alone was worth logging on for...

My friends and I were discussing the news/politics and one of my mate's girlfriends asked "Who are Kofi and Anne?" presumably impressed that two people were jointly running the UN at the time.

This thread may now be closed. Ne plus ultra.

It's been over a decade but just saying "Who are Kofi and Anne?" still gets a laugh amongst my mates.


Another stupid thing I was reminded of in chat tonight - quite a few people say they won't watch films with subtitles and perhaps they are slow readers and don't want to admit it, but I knew someone who said that they'd never watch a black and white film, which seems perverse.

I was at a gig at the Cathouse in Glasgow. There's a lassie at the bar showing off her new Nirvana t-shirt to her friend. It has Kurt Cobain's face on it with "1967 - 1994" and she's talking about how he's a great loss who'll never be replaced. Then she asks her friend, "When are they touring again?" Dear Lord...

[Judo]

that does sound like catty x
