A couple things never to say to a weather person:
1) Did you order this nice/bad weather?
2) Must be nice to have a job that you never have to be right in. (It's not witty, I've heard it a million times before.)
3) I remember that time when you guys (doesn't matter if it was actually me or my station) said that it was going to (insert weather here) and it didn't.
4) I watch you every morning. (When I work nights... or vice versa)
5) My Cousin Ned is your neighbor. (Ned lives two miles away and has never met me.)
6) I wish I had a job where I could be right 50% of the time. (See #2)
7) How much do you make? (It's very awkward when I have to tell them I make $1,250,000 a year)
8) What's the weather gonna be? (giggle giggle)
9) My child is doing a weather project on [the high, low, and rain and snow for Timbuktu for the past 3 months] can you get me this data?
10) Why is your forecast different than the one on the weather channel? (Because the Weather Channel is stupid... and I am smart.)
