"Are printers supposed to smoke?"
(The sad part is that I started to reply "Not in the building - it has to go out to the courtyard." before it sunk in...)
"Is everything ready for the audit team coming in today?"
(WHAT audit team? I believe I have once again been denied critical, need-to-know information...)
"Ohmigod! Ohmigod! You have to call Emergency Control! There's a solvent leak in the building!"
(Dude, try General Tso's Chicken. Glad it wasn't my lunch.)
"Could you call Maintainance? I think I kinda accidentally sorta overflowed the toilet..."
(Dude, if it looks to big to flush - it is. And more to the point, why were you trying to flush a leftover eggroll?)
"Hey, Pagey? Is this your car on fire?"
(It wasn't, but you didn't want to hear the scream I let out. I'd just bought my car three weeks earlier...)
*Spoken very mildly and nonchalantly* "Uh, guys? We maybe better leave. The building's sort of, well - on fire."
(Five minutes later we realized he was serious...)
And while it may not count as a "phrase" per say, a ginormous crash in the supply room followed by an "Awwww, shit..." is never good.
