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.

Oi! Im 43 and only wear Converse. Leave them alone .

No I wear motorbike boots if its raining.

You sound like a right bellend OP.

HTH.

Btw, were they standard Cons? It's alllllll about the Converse Light Ox Don'tcha know?

"... I am not an old age pensioner who needs patronising. ..."

That made me

You are a very silly, pretentious "... intelligent ,degree educated professional woman ..."

Patronising drutt.

Bellend!

And drutt - is that an actual word?

It's Excellent.

So you are pissed that a shop assistant was polite to you? You have made a complete fool of yourself on MN and given us all a good laugh. (we wont go into the new name and the possibility you are using MN to write a piece) Do yourself a favor and remove your head from up your bum once in a while. Or shop somewhere snootier!

Loving this thread so thanks for the laugh OP my love

Nonio - we must have differing ideas of politeness if you think the shop assistant was polite.

Very funny thread and 'I have my 25 meter swimming certificate and I'm still waiting for shop assitants to curtsey. Bastards.' was my undoing.

I am constantly surprised and bemused at the things that make people's blood boil

Zhaghzhagh - Not polite is tutting, huffing, swearing, what do you want or generally giving you the idea that you being there is a pain. Colloquialism are not.

ontheedgeofwhatever Are you in the West Midlands/Warwickshire by any chance?

At least you aren't in Derry where a shop assistant yesterday asked me if a wanted a wee bag with my purchase.

I must be made of stern stuff. I read all the way through to page 12 before finally choking half to death on glastocat's "wee bag".

To those who have suggested "Madam" is a more acceptable term of address, some people loathe that more than anything. A woman I was queueing behind in Sainsbury's had a vicious go at the bewildered till operator because "Madam means someone who runs a brothel". I don't like it myself because it sounds old-fashioned and stilted. Insincere, like.

Perhaps, though, I'm just more secure in my self-image than the OP as if anyone seems to imply I'm an OAP, or otherwise in need of patronising, I just laugh to myself and think it says more about their limited perception, poor dears, than it does about me.

you seem to have a rather large chip on your shoulder and desperate to prove to everyone that you are independent and smart.

any reason why love? is it father issues?

lol

I'm 38 and my Cons have got a hole in them so u can see my little toe. I also have a degree. The question is should shop assistants curtsy or is just tugging a forelock acceptable?

OP, grow up, there's a love.

Do you need help removing your head from your arse, my love?
Can my uneducated tongue lick your cons, my love?
Can me and my asda outfit bask in your surpirioty, my love?
Can I, a lowly homemaker, find out more about your wonderful life, my love?

glastocat OP would not need a wee bag, I'm sure she doesn't urinate and deficate like the rest of us, a she has a team that does that gahstly buisness for her, leaving her time to manage her her perfect hair and apply Bobbi Brown make up, dont'cha know!

Pmsl at this thread! Opp's, I'm I need off that wee bag!

"... I am not an old age pensioner who needs patronising. ..."

IAmNotYourLove - don't you know that you don't automatically lose all your qualifications, experience and intelligence when you become an old age pensioner?

Looks like there are already twelve pages making the points I would have! How horrid and arrogant.

Are you Sarah fucking Vine?

Actually, I found Bobbi Brown makeup overpriced rubbish.
The foundation separated into an oily, gloopy mess.
Admittedly the neutrals eye shadow is quite good but not as good as Mac.

Pan stik is much better and it's a fiver.

I think the staff in Superdrug need our support, not our ire.
Listening to 'she's so loverrrleee she's so loverleee.....my love' 500 times a day can't be good for your mental health.
