Not something I do now, but fully intend to do when I’m retired: go to the shops at lunch time and leave my cart in the middle of the aisle while doddering around looking for two for the price of one offers!6

That’s a duty, teach the feckers a lesson.SporadicAddick said:deliberately asking people who have "reserved" the seat next to them with a bag on the train if they can move their bag so that I can sit down, even if there are other seats available.2 -
Point out that when people say “can’t wait“ that they’re being incorrect because obviously they do have to wait.Bedsaddick said:Tell People that I’m going on holiday tomorrow.By the way I’m going on holiday tomorrow to Lanzarote. Can’t wait 😜4 -

I once referred to my partner as 'my current girlfriend' in front of a client. He wisely advised me that if i used that phrase in front of her the phrase would very quickly be incorrect.MrOneLung said:Introduce my missus as 'my first wife'1 -

Whenevery kids would ask me to put their shoes on I'd say "they won't fit". Gutted when they learned to do it themselves7

Any mention of any place in the midlands sets me off on a long impromptu monologue in a fake Brummie accent that will likely include references to "Doodlei Zoological Gaardens", "Coom on the Villa", "That Peter Kay bloke broke down by the RAC centre in Walsall" and "do you remember that Ted Chippington bloke, chief" and so on. The family play along and pretend it's funny, but I'm sure they hate it. Iwy muss just say thow, it's absolutely brulliant now that Lee Carsley is England manager. The fun just never stops in our ouse.IdleHans said:Whenever I open the fridge or freezer I say "cool" and do a stupid thumbs up. Whenever I get the cheese grater out of the cupboard i say "grate" in a birmingham accent, just because it amuses me no end. Nobody even needs to be present for these things to happen, as long as the dog is somewhere about. The cheese grater is his favourite utensil anyway. I swear that dog can hear it coming out of the cupboard and distinguish it from any other implement even when he's upstairs. By the time i say grate, he's at the kitchen door asking for cheese.I am known for not putting the butter back in the fridge, which i am reminded about every time Mrs Idle goes into the kitchen and shouts "Butter!" at the top of her voice. Apparently that annoys her.3 -
Cry on the train on my way to work.3

Dad jokes and repeating dad jokes! Also repeating jokes in general just annoys everyone.
Holding my wife’s hand in public and dropping half a step behind, and then start walking like a chimpanzee to see how long it takes her to notice. That really annoys her!

I am in tears, picturing the look of horror on her face if I did that!0 -

I once told my wife and the kids I could see a ghost behind the tv. They all looked at me as though I was mad. I then said that the ghost was fiddling with the buttons on the tv. They looked me as though I was completely bonkers. Then, the tv went off and they jumped out of their skins. Simple trick: just set the tv to turn off in 30 mins and get the wife and kids in the room 29 mins later.18

My mates at work telling me to put the kettle on and me saying " It wont fit me " . Used that one for years4

When the kids/wife are listening to music on Alexa in another room, I use the app to change the song to Who Let The Dogs Out. This has backfired because the kids have decided they like that song and now they play it constantly and it's driving me insane.

The light switch to our downstairs toilet is on the outside and whenever my wife or daughter are in there I turn it off for a few seconds.19

Anything I do that annoys my wife is, apparently, done deliberately.4

Saying ‘Pardon?’ whenever someone mentions not being able to hear something or someone losing their hearing. It feels obligatory.7

I do all of this now, and I'm still working.IdleHans said:Stuart_the_Red said:Not something I do now, but fully intend to do when I’m retired: go to the shops at lunch time and leave my cart in the middle of the aisle while doddering around looking for two for the price of one offers!Dont forget to try to settle up with a handful of tatty and largely expired newspaper vouchers for things you havent even bought, and pay with handfuls of coins, counted out while the checkout bod sighs loudly and rolls their eyes.

Also remember to then look through your bag for your loyalty card, "it's here somewhere!", find it, then spend ages presenting it wrong, upside down, back to front, swiping it backwards, taking it out, rubbing the back, then remove and try rubbing the strip etc then put it back in backwards, back to front, upside down again.... then say oh its "the wrong card we're in Sainsbury's aren't we, then repeat the above until you run out of the wrong loyalty cards and have to use the right one, all so that you get 5 nectar points on your tin of kanga chunks.IdleHans said:Stuart_the_Red said:Not something I do now, but fully intend to do when I’m retired: go to the shops at lunch time and leave my cart in the middle of the aisle while doddering around looking for two for the price of one offers!Dont forget to try to settle up with a handful of tatty and largely expired newspaper vouchers for things you havent even bought, and pay with handfuls of coins, counted out while the checkout bod sighs loudly and rolls their eyes.
