Give me some dialogue from your day

[Lullabelle]

On Christmas day my dad, my brother and his 3 kids were with us. At 1 point my 4 and a half year old nephew asked

N: where is your cat?
ME: she has gone outside to do what she needs to
N: Poo?
ME: yes

Me and a colleague (NHS job) were doing some work on pulling referral comments through into reports.

One of the referrals had the comment "numb from the toes down".....

[Background information: I was on a train home today from my Christmas break and I was playing 'speed Sudoku' on my tablet. It probably looked like I was some kind of genius because I was playing so quickly, but I play at a fairly simple level of difficulty to make that possible. I became aware that someone was watching me from my left ...]

Old man, sitting next to his worried-looking wife: Excuse me young man ['Young' - ha ha - I am 60 in a few weeks time!] - could you help me ... something has gone wrong with my phone and I want to call my daughter!

Me: Er, do you speak German?

Old man: No - why?

Me: Because your phone's menus have been switched over to German!

Old man: Oh dear, I got confused and pressed a few buttons - is it broken?

Me: No, but there is a bit of a problem - the menu which lets you switch it back to English is in German so it will be tricky to work out how to do it!

Old man: Do YOU speak German?

Me: Ein bisschen! [I'm making that up ... I wish I'd said that, but I actually said that I could remember a few words of German from my schooldays.]

[I then spent a couple of minutes fiddling about until I found a menu entry labelled 'Einstellung' which looked promising. A bit of scrolling led to 'Sprache' which was definitely what I was looking for. Then 'English' - hoorah!]

Me: Here you go!

Old man and wife: Ooooh, thank you - we'll buy you a couple of beers!

Me: No, no - it's nice of you to offer, but I have given up beer and I have a bottle of orange juice to drink on the train anyway. Oh, and Happy New Year!

There are some good ones in there. Can't believe we had one that was actually on the list!!

@ColinJ - My mother twiddled with her phone some years ago, and accidentally changed the language into Norwegian. I cannot remember how I got it back into English.

I am guessing that "Einstellung" would be "set up" or "settings".

I think Norwegian might have been more of a problem! I think that the phone in question had English, German, French, Spanish and Italian settings.

When watching Scandinavian Noir series I am always struck by how about 1/3 of what the actors say sounds stereotypically Scandinavian, 1/3 a bit like German and 1/3 very English-like

We watch a few Scandinavian series. I can swear in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish!

From a professional pov:

I wish the smoker would stop coughing..

And from a cycling pov:

What the f#£% are you doing - when a taxi driver done a sudden 3 point in front of me...

Those are "things you'd like to say, but couldn't" rather than dialogues!

Chip shop last night, I'm waiting for my order, late 20s woman with circa 8 YO daughter. Daughter seems a bit hypo, natter natter natter, a bit loud and animated.
Then mum chirps up and I thought...apple didnt fall far from that tree...
Mum to chip frier...in a grating, loud and slightly annoying voice...
You goin aaht new years ?'
'Yeah, im gunna get pissed down blah blah'
'Yeah, I gunna get pissed an'all...blah blah blah'

Lovely I thought, your kids stood there
'Mam, mam, maaaam' the kid kept trying to get her attention. Chip frier continued...
'You going to school reunion ?'
'No way...not there, i was never there anyway, i hated school, hated the teachers. Got better things to do with my time'
'Wot, like getting pissed somewhere else ?'
'Yeah, ...im goin down blah blah'

And so the innane drivel continued, jeesus, as we used to say at work..
'I'd sooner nail my cream crackers to a telegraph pole using rusty nails and a bent hammer'...than spend any more time listening to that.

Overheard...I think, manager to my manager....
'He's walking round like an old man'

He's talking about me.
Damaged my foot 2 weeks ago (being a silly beggar ). Im still limping quite badly, my back is sore anyway and my legs ache, my opposite hip is sore, i think with carrying myself oddly because of the limp, my foot is swollen after a days work....i never felt so crocked.
