    I’m very phone call avoidant so, almost the only people I talk to on it are the people I love. So, one day my boss calls me for something stupid (our offices are like 100ft apart) and I say “love you, bye” and hang up. So, her and all of us in middle management began saying “love you” at the end of our calls. Also, at the end of meetings. End up being kind of sweet, honestly.

      Easy now, fuzzy little woman peach!

      *Edit to fix the quote since I think I remember you’re a woman? Please correct me if I’m wrong! For some reason ‘woman peach’ sounds so much funnier than ‘man peach’ anyway, so it works! Haha!

    For instance, take the two words “footlong” and “meatball”. Make up your mind that you will say both phrases, but leave it unsettled which you will say first. Now open your mouth and speak. If your thoughts incline ever so little towards “footlong”, you will say “footlong meatball”; if they turn, by even a hair’s breadth, towards “meatball”, you will say “meatball footlong”; but if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind (as all things should be), you will say “Football meatlong”. - Lewis Carroll

    My parents owned a business so my brother and I would watch the shop on our own while my parents were taking a break or out buying supplies. We’d goof around a lot and there was this one time he let out a gigantic fart without realizing there was a customer in the store.

    Also, when I was working in a cafe in Japan, my coworker answered the phone and instead of saying ohayōgozaimasu (good morning), she said omedetōgozainasu (congratulations).

    I used to work in an outbound call center. Worst job I’ve ever had, but that’s beside the point.

    There is a surprisingly common surname that’s spelt “Cockburn” but pronounced “Cou burn” (Like Coat, but no T)

    Nobody told me this until I was halfway through the list, which was several dozen names long.
