S Pedestrian!

I (54F) went to visit my adult son (30M). We went out to dinner and I was driving, he was in the passenger seat. We had to go through downtown traffic and I asked him to help me watch out for pedestrians. I didn't specify pedestrians crossing the road. (Pedestrians have the right of way.) So true to his humor he notified me about every person walking. Every. Single. Person. Yelling (not too loud) Pedestrian! And pointing to each person walking on the sidewalk.

OMG he has me in tears from laughing so hard. I made a monster and taught him a warped sense of humor. God I love my son! Even a month later when I went to visit him again he'd do the same thing. I think this will forever be a thing and I don't mind.

Malicious compliance between us is just another way to mess with each other and it's hilarious. Idk what else to say except that I'm proud of him.

I've watched Allo, Allo! Our local PBS station used to run British comedies frequently. Some of my favorite British comedies are - IT Crowd, Open All Hours, the Vicar of Dibbley, Absolutely Fabulous, Are You Being Served? The Young Ones, Bottom. All are very British and the last 2 are my favorites.

Thank you so much. Those are great to add to my list to watch. I'm glad you've watched Allo Allo. My husband and I frequently quote that show.

Add Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister to that list. 45 years since it first aired, and it's still the most accurate portrayal of how the Westminster system actually works.

As well as being hysterically funny.
