Shtick You Use in Real Life (2 Viewers)

I am a single guy.  I have Christmas wrapping paper and only Christmas wrapping paper.  The 3-4 birthday gifts I wrap each year are wrapped with...  Christmas wrapping paper.  It's become a joke with my family along with my terrible gift wrapping skills.

They're lucky they don't get just the plain Amazon box.

 
My wife got me a picture frame at the knick-knack store, and had a photo printed of our daughter at her dance recital and gave them both to me for my office, but she didn't put the photo in the frame.  I tacked the photo on the wall above my computer and put the frame with the stock photo in it in a different spot, and I tell anyone that asks "oh that's my brother's family" when they ask who it is.  
wife bought my mother in law some picture frames years ago. mother in law hung them with the stock photos inside. she said she did it because she like the frames & my wife didn't give her pictures to put in them. they hung like that for 3 years or so.

i never considered it might be shtick.

Elevator shtick:

Any time I am in a packed full elevator and the doors open on the way down I actively invite the people who are waiting for the elevator to “come on in, there’s plenty of room”! Added bonus points if said people actually try to squeeze in. You always get tons of nervous looks and nervous laughter from the people that are slowly getting squeezed even more. 

Sure, it may make for a slightly more uncomfortable ride to the ground floor but it’s damn funny. For me at least.

My sister would pretty much murder you. She claustrophobic and her heart condition makes her faint in that type of environment

If Senor Schmutzig can't hold his own against some fainting chick with a bad heart, I don't know what to say.

Related: Our custodian absolutely will not get in the elevator. She is terrified of it. The corner she can’t reach from the doorway just doesn’t get swept. She will  push a full mop bucket in there then take the stairs up or down to meet it. Haven’t decided if I’m going to start pushing it into the corner when I get on, or “help” her out and jettison it on random floors. Now that I think about it, maybe I should start carrying some Easter egg  dye packs....

 
My 8 yo took my wife's phone, and, pretending to be my wife, asked my MIL how long you are supposed to put a turkey in the microwave.

*wipes tear* I'm just so proud.
Was he coached to do this? Yes or no, this is still good. If coached, this is a sign of good parenting. If not coached, you have a prodigy on your hands!

She was working completely on her own. Apparently inspired by something in the news about millennials who try to cook turkeys in the microwave?

 
When I walk up to a hostess stand I usually say I am the bus driver the others are coming right after me.  Table for 40 please.  I am not proud out it.

On occasion, when ordering food at Chick Fil-A, where they ask your name and then call it when your order is ready, I’ll give the name Bueller and then wait till the employee bringing the food says it 3-4 times before speaking up.

The possibilities are endless here.  Please keep us posted.

Many moons ago, when there was an "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" ride at Universal Studios, you'd type your name into some keypad at the ride entry, and this giant ET statue would welcome you by name halfway through the line.  I, of course, used a pseudonym..... Jasper.  I now use that name with Taco Bell's automated ordering system.

I enjoy scaring the crap out of my kids. As such I’ve developed this thing I call “I’ve been waiting for you” where I’ll lurk in the shadows of a place I know one of my kids is about to go, then emerge when they enter uttering those words in a soft, creepy voice. Example: if my son is showering I know immediately after finishing he’s going to open a certain closet door to throw his dirty laundry into it. So a few times over the years I’ve laid in wait, and as he opens the door I take a step forward from the hanging clothes…”I’ve been waiting for you”. Kind of afraid of doing it to him anymore because he’s 15 and might instinctively punch me in the face, but you get the idea.

The best one of my career happened during our family trip to Italy this summer. We were in a tiny restaurant in Lucca where the restrooms were down in a dimly lit, musky basement. I went down there with my 12 yo daughter, and on the way noted a small closet with a curtain as a door halfway between the restrooms and the stairs. Couldn’t pass it up. So she went into the ladies room, and I went into the men’s room, power-whizzed as fast as I could, then got into position. She came out 30 seconds later and as she passed I stepped out from behind the curtain…”I’ve been waiting for you.” My goodness did she let out a scream. The rest of the family heard it upstairs from their table, and with nothing but the scream to go on my son said right away to my wife and other daughter “dang, he must’ve got her good”.   :oldunsure:

I’ve seen something similar to this and the dude hiding jumped out and scared the wrong person. Some unexpecting lady walked out of the bathroom first. Good thing she already went to the bathroom.

 
Sort of stolen from Paulie Walnuts...

Other person:  So how was your weekend?

Me:  It was OK.  How was yours?

Other person:  It was good. We went...

Me: Yeah, I don't really care.  Just being polite.

Who has "Bueller" as a first name?

 
Hulk's Nick Cage shower curtains are awe inspiring. 

Perhaps only topped by the Nick Cage pillow cases.

I may also order the Nick Cage compression socks.

My dad schtick at home is usually lying about stupid ####.  Example, the week before Thanksgiving, the kids had no school on Monday or Wednesday.  So Tuesday night I'm driving my son and his friends home from basketball practice and just casually say, "I can't believe they're making you go to school on Sunday to make up for tomorrow".  My son knows I'm 'joking' but doesn't say anything and his friends get all riled up about school on Sunday. Come to think about it, I never told them I was joking, so they probably continued the complaints at home.  

Or, my daughter will spill some water on the floor or something really harmless and I'll be like "Grounded".  I also talk 'street' a lot because that's how I've talked since high school. When I see my son, I'll say "Sup, dawg" or after explaining something I'll be like "Feel me, dawg?".  I'm sure once they're in jr high they'll think I'm annoying.  Right now I'm still super awesome/cool dad!

I have 4 & 7 year old boys.  They enjoy waking me up on Weekends before the sun rises.  Ever now and then I will pile the pillows up under the sheets and hide in the shadows waiting and then I shriek like a wolverine.  It makes my day.

i did this on monday with a colleague that i can't stand. i've always hated pointless small talk, and typically answer the "how are you?" starter question with "hello". he greeted me with "hi. how was your weekend?"" and i flatly responded, "does it matter?" he immediately went on tilt. i enjoyed pissing him off.

This reminds me of a story - I still have no fn idea how it happened.

6 of us are going to a local restaurant for a Saturday night dinner, so I decided to use OpenTable to make the reservation while I was working.  Since this was my first time using the app, I set up an account.  I am OCD about form fields that don't auto capitalize the first letter of your name, so I vividly remember OT not capitalizing my name.  I was in a hurry and decided to not fix it, but I vividly remember leaving it alone since it was out of character for me (so I know it had my name when I submitted).

I check my email later that night and instead of "Dear Ned" it says "Dear Big Sexy".  :confused:   :confused:    I swear to god I remember my name being in there - HTF did that change to Big Sexy???  I ended up getting a call from the restaurant asking to confirm the reservation for Big Sexy (that was fun to explain).  They couldn't change the name in their system since it came from OT, so I had to go into the restaurant and announce our reservation for Big Sexy in front of everyone.  :lol:    The receptionists were dying.

I still get spam from OT addressing me as just "Big".

4. His browser auto-filled the form and Ned accidentally selected the Big Sexy from the drop-down of previously used names.  This is one he usually only uses for live sex cams but he didn't catch it.

Word and Word is bond are great ones too. 

 
A week before Thanksgiving, a scrubby pine tree on the road into our small subdivision came down. It was located next to the road within walking distance of our house.

We went to get our Christmas tree yesterday. So I pull the van out of the garage and drive the family to the downed tree. I said, "We're here! (Younger son) go get the saw!" My boys were <_<  

 
When I was single back in the late 80s, all my friends were getting married. Obviously, I got invited to all the weddings. Since I was single with my head very well placed in my lower intestinal cavity, I knew little to nothing about weddings, wedding gifts, etc.

Each of my friends received a kitchen clock from me as a gift. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

ETA: The group's shtick was to have the DJ play "Another One Bites the Dust" at each of the receptions. It wasn't done to me because my church had a small fellowship hall and had no room for a DJ. :bowtie:

I may have just stumbled upon my next schtick.

Useless sac at work left his phone at work. Alarm starts going off, the label says Snack.

I might just start set my alarm with  random things listed as the label and leaving it

Meanwhile, useless sac is at home in a diabetic coma because he forgot his snack alarm.
