Anyone who refers to themself as "myself" or refers to me as "yourself" needs a proper big slap IMO 👿
arksholes, the lot of them.
Not to mention the use of 'can' instead of 'may'. Honestly....
arksholes, the lot of them.
Brilliant 😆
I literally go like totally mental if someone says that.
"Can I get?" I don't bloody know, can you?
The words you're looking for is "may I have" you ****ing numpty.
Is it more or less annoying than people who can't punctuate?
Can is fine as long as he's happy with having the phone put down on him after you answer with either yes or no (yes is preferable in these circumstances as it's more confusing).
it's more "aahxe" isn't it innit?
No Problem with the can really, it's the "get".
"Can I get a skinny Latte?" 👿
Is it more or less annoying than people who can't punctuate?
No. Punctuation doesn't bother me at all.
Can I make a suggestion mods?
As well as the Bold, Italic, Underscore, and Strikethrough options on the type, can the new forum also have a 'scrawled in green biro and sent to the Daily Telegraph' setting?
Just for threads like this 🙂
Had a boiler room sales call on my mobile yesterday as I was sat down feeding my kids.
Sales guy was cooking on coke and would not take no for an answer, kept calling me back when I hung up on him, so ended up telling my kids on speaker phone to ask him questions about the stock.
do you have any chocolate stock
what about jaffacakes
or ice cream stock?
Had me in stiches, wish I had youtubed it now...
it's more "aahxe" isn't it innit?
Yeah, but it comes across as "arks" when they try their posh phone voice.
I'm going to insist that all cold callers call me by my forum name before I'll talk to them.

That is superb.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Yes, you just have."

"Can I ask you a question?""Yes, you just have."
I often like to use
"Let me think about that for a bit" as an answer. Then I put the phone on to my desk, without hanging up, and go about my day.
"Quick question..."
Yeah, I'm sure it will be, but I'll bet a lesser-used body part that the bloody answer won't.
