Things you don't want to hear - the REAL thread!

[Gurm]

Ok, Pit's thread was deceptive. This is a REAL thread of "things you don't want to hear".

I'll go first:

-------------

Guess what, kids? Grandma's pregnant!

[Nowhere]

- weird...
- eventually "I'm sick"
- well, eventually I've found "geeks dream"
- because more or less I can say that woman rode on me in tune with badger, badger, badger and, to lesser degree, bananaphone

Not sure how serious are people who didn't want to hear it...

I haven't got to Pit's thread, but I was thinking more in the lines..
This won't hurt...much

I think mine was, "You got cancer!" The good news is that I was told that nearly 12 years ago.

After putting my 9 month old to bed my wife walked up, "We're pregnant."

[Brian Ellis]

"We're pregnant."

Now that's really one for the books Really? Both of you?

Har har... it's a English language thing. The wife carries, the husband is just forced to suffer along (I NEED STRAWBERRIES), so it is more common to see "we are pregnant" among, at least, American couples. It's hard to explain.

My wife never did any of that, thank GOD. But I did have the sympathetic weight gain.

My friend's wife, however - she sent him out once FOUR times in the same night for DIFFERENT types of ice cream, and by the time he got back with the last, she had polished off a quart of the first and said "nevermind, I'm full now".

we use this expression in Greece also, although not very common...

younger couples tend to use similar expressions more than older couples (e.g. their parents).
