“Comin’ through, fuckers,” has always worked well enough for me. People tend not to ignore it.
HOOOOOT SOUP SOUP SOUP HOT HOT HOT SOUP HOT SOUP OH GOD IT BURNS HOT SOUP PLEASE MOVE HOT SOUP IT’S SOUP AND IT’S HOT I CHECKED HOT SOUP thank you
One time i yelled “I am holding a spider” and nobody ignored me.
Unfunny actual - BEHIND
Office setting you get to be your emergency vehicle of choice. Personally fond of “ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR”
Hehehe you said behind
To warn people just in advance of your arrival, you can say “coming behind”
lmao I’m such a child for laughing at that
Having worked in a kitchen, “knife behind” if you have a knife or just really want to make sure nobody moves, “behind” if you are more okay accidentally bumping booty.
Just wear loud clothing so everyone can always tell when you’re moving. Something like corduroy pants, a windbreaker or a cowbell.
“Ass or crotch, who wants what?”
Just give quiet sexual moans with each person you pass.
Mmm… Oooh. Oh yeah that’s real nice.
An old math/science teacher I know always says: „Vorsicht, heiß und fettig! Ungelernter Kellner!“
Which is german for:
Careful, hot and greasy! Untrained waiter!
To quote the Simpsons:
Hot stuff, coming through!
RIGHT BETWEEN! DOWN THE LINE!
In German they have “Wahrschau” which coincidentally also sounds like the name of the capital in Poland, however it comes from shipping industry and to my knowledge is a shorter version of “Wahr nehmen und schauen” which roughly translates to “hey, look at me”. I might be wrong, but that’s what I’ve heard.
Edit: typo 😅 Edit 2: some more of my incompetence
I never heard that. When you say “shipping industry”, maybe it’s a northern thing?
Also: it’s “wahrnehmen”. You take it as real, not as it was.
Sorry about the typo. My German is a rusty 😅 As to whether it’s a shipping or a northern thing, could be both. I used to study maritime navigation in northern Germany and this was a very common saying in between the maritime crowd. Did hear it out side of it though. But I might be mistaken.
Why is OP working with tektites from Legend of Zelda?
“Ope lemme squeeze past ya real quick”
I believe this is region-locked to the Midwest of the United States…
Beep beep beep
I di this, but whistling to sound like a reversing vehicle.
we say that at the cats and dog. One of them is new and still learning, and the others GTFO of the way.
“Coming through!” “Make a hole!” “Hot! Burn risk is moving!” “Do not move! I’m passing behind you!” “Sharp! Broken glass/knife/whatever is moving!”
I’m sure there are others along similar lines. These are the ones I remember from another life working in food service.
“Behind”, “Behind, hot”, and “Behind, sharp” are traditional
100%. In poorly designed kitchens, if one has the time/space, adding some detail can take a callout from “casual proactive safety blanket” to something much more impactful and helpful with a smidge of context.
