Get the Waiting For Yesterdaymug. A timeless phrase that is spoken or written whenever you suddenly realize what the person is actually saying, which often results in confusion or bewilderment. Honestly kinda comical in a way, as it's usually when the person says something unusual or unexpected that gets your full attention.
Doctor: Hey it's time for your monthly check up.
Timothy: Awesome.
Doctor: Did you take any pain relievers this past month?
Timothy: Nope.
Doctor: Did you experience any sort of sudden fatigue in your muscles, joints, or forehead this past month?
Timothy: Nope.
Doctor: Did you forget to take out the trash again?
Timothy: Nope, uh- wait what?
Timothy: Awesome.

Get the Waitingmug. when the fans on oscillate, or turning. and you and your friends are sitting around it in the hot room, each person waiting for their 3 seconds of cool air, before it passes them, and they wish they could just f*ing stop it only on them. in extreme cases everyone leans when the gust is aproching and leaving them
