My favourite belayer comment directed at a mate who took a particularly long shakeout (at least 20 min): 'This is like going fishing'.

I was dogging a route in Tonsai, which pretty much starts from a cafe veranda, when eventually my belayer calmly said to me “Come on down now, you are embarrassing both me and you”
