Silly things we say to each other.

I once said to my mate (about trying to chat up a woman).

"Even if I get nowhere, it's a start".

At the time I thought it would make sense.

[shoota]

I said 'I love you' once.......

[Zacs-Master]

'see you later' when you finish a phone call when you've absoloutly no intention of doing so. Daft innit.

I told my wife on our wedding day that I loved her, and if I changed my mind I would let her know!

[Cockney_si]

I've said that a lot, in fact, I've probably never really stopped loving anyone I said that to.... Although that's another thread topic, ha ha !

I have a habit of saying ''in a minute'' when I actually mean sometime in the future.

[Hopkirk]

Sometimes I say to people

"How do you do?"

It makes no sense at all.

Strangers ring you up and ask how your day's going - as if it matters to them!

My late mum used to have a go at me for driving too fast. Her pet phrase was
"Better you arrive late than arrive dead"

You should always make a point of telling them, boxy :)

[sunny-dave]

"Can I count on your vote next Thursday" .... from a chap in a blue rosette when the whole front of the house is a sea of red posters .... nice bloke though, I kept him chatting for some considerable time ... ;)

I heard a story, probably untrue, about someone asking directions in Ireland.

Apparently the local said 'if I was going there I wouldn't start from here'.

A lot of people say "See you later" especially in Oz, even when they know they are not likely to see them again.

I agree boxtops,

If I get a call like that and they ask hows your day's going or how how are you today Sir, I always ask them what are they trying to sell and put the phone down!

[mrs_overall]

Oh I have just come out with a belter.
I went out of the back door to put some rubbish in the bin. When I came back in I told Mr O that the skies are clear but there is no sign of the Northern Lights.
He then pointed out the back garden faces South

Man in rural Devon once said to me after I asked him for directions 'Go right and you can't go wrong.'

[Cockney_si]

My mum used to say stuff like "I'm going to the shops for 5 minutes, see you in a minute"

[Booldawg]

I'm always saying 'I'll put you through' to people on the phone when I'm actually just passing the handset to a colleague at work.

The one that gets me is when you're in the doctors, somebody always says something on the lines of "hello mate not seen you for a while, are you OK?" I mean would you be sat in the doctors if you were OK.
