to want to slap the assistant in Super Drug

[IamNotYourLove]

for calling me "My love" every other sentence?

Do you want a bag my love.
Enter your pin my love.
Do you want a bottle of water for just 28p my love.

I am not your love.

I am an intelligent ,degree educated professional woman , who wirites for the national broadsheet newspapers, mid 40s, dressed in skinny jeans, converses, nice hair and Bobbi Brown slap.

I am not an old age pensioner who needs patronising.

You, on the other hand, looked no more than 24 and needed a slap.

All these" my loves " put me in mind of Gollum ... Maybe you overdid the skinnyness and the Bobbi Brown gunge ( wasn't he that junkie boyfriend of dead-singer-lady-who's-name-I've-forgotten? ) and the lass in shop was expecting you to respond with a " my precious "?

The shop! Stupid phone!

thats just how some people speak.

it might be annoying to where you come from, but where she comes from and so her frame of reference she was just being really nice to you.

I guess she cant vary her reaction to every customer she greets so just take it as her being kind.

Definitely "me babber" round 'ere in deepest darkest Bristle

I can't believe this shite has ten PAGES of comments.

OP,

It is really very simple.

The next time a shop worker has the ill-educated gall to refer to you in the vernacular, whip out a copy of the national broadsheet newspaper that you wirite for, (not just a national newspaper, but a national broadsheet newspaper!) and enquire of them

"Don't you know who I am???

That'll put them in their place.

YABVVU. And rude. But your name is accurate. You sound utterly unloveable.

Just to clarify OP, the pasting you are getting is not because, of itself, you dislike being called 'My Love'. Lots of people do.

It's the assertion that, due to your entirely unnecessary description of yourself, the shop assistant shouldn't have said it to you because you are better than her.

This is where you have gone horribly, hideously wrong.

So, you're a journalist? And?

I have my cycling proficiency test certificate!

Congratulation!

or even Congratulations!

A little bit of pee came out because I was laughing so much at this thread ....."would you like a bag you cunt ?!......Haaaaaa! (runs off to toilet)

Actually I feel sorry for the OP. For a person of such a high status to have to shop in Superdrug is a bit of a comedown. Was it her PA's day off do you think?

Cloudbase sums it up nicely.

after hearing that I want to slap you! I am degree educated too and I think its nice and friendly, no doubt you would prefer to be addressed as the "madam" that you are!

oh i am ADORING cocksandwich!

well done that woman!

...and I see the OP has not deigned to return.

You sound like a nightmare for anyone working with the public.

I've met many like you with an ingrained superiority complex and a strange obsession with the fact you have a degree.

How dare the plebian upstart who probably can't even write her own name deign to talk to you because you work for a BROADSHEET right.

Know your place!

People can't win, can they. If she'd had a mouth like a cats bum, scowled at you and grunted when you gave her the money, you'd have been moaning she was too grumpy.
Somebody being friendly, cheerful and polite gets moaned at for being patronising.
I know which I'd rather have serving me!
