IamNotYourLove · 19/07/2012 13:54

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.

OP are you liz jones?

suburbophobe · 21/07/2012 20:35

I love people like that!

You on the other hand sound aggressive and a biatch...........

Chill out and get a life!

suburbophobe · 21/07/2012 20:38

Now that I have read your full post I get it.

Frustrated, frustrated frustrated.

Who cares what kind of "intelligent", haha, so-called professional degree person you are. People like you who look your nose down on others are sad bags, frankly.

Would rather meet her than you ANY DAY in my life!!

LadyJH · 21/07/2012 20:39

They don't address me in that way in Fortnums. But they would frown at Converse.

suburbophobe · 21/07/2012 20:40

God, please tell me which paper so I won't be buying it any more.

1 thing I hate more than anything is snobbery.

suburbophobe · 21/07/2012 20:42

Is this what Mumsnet has lowered itself to?!. God get me out of here....

Scarredbutnotbroken · 21/07/2012 21:34

There's a thing. Does the op think that due to her choice of apparel and cosmetics that she ought to be treated differently. Actually that's pretty offensive.

SrirachaGirl · 21/07/2012 21:40

I live in Canada. That would never in a million, squillion years happen here; if it did it would make my day Smile. I think it's charming and lovely and you should feel proud to live in a country where people feel comfortable taking such liberties with strangers. YABU.

AltruisticEnigma · 21/07/2012 21:44

Rule I mean nobody likes being looked down on and it's never fair to see yourself as better that someone else. Because honestly, how can someone be better than someone else? I wasn't meaning to call anyone a name except that her attitude comes across as snobby or the general definition thereof.

suburbophobe · 21/07/2012 22:13

Oh, I remember someone calling me "ducks" - loved that!

It just endears me to those people. So much more salt of the earth and REAL than snobbish people with their nose in the air...

BarredfromhavingStella · 21/07/2012 22:47

OP are you in Wales or was she Welsh? I ask ask as my lovely friend is a girl 'from the valleys' & we use this a lot in our dialogue-her because this is a natural way of speaking & me because I just fucking love it!!

Find something else that is genuinely worth getting the arse on about.....

LadyJH · 22/07/2012 17:00

This is the funniest thread I have ever read through. DD wants to know what mummy is laughing at. Is 'cunting' a word? Grin

Latara · 22/07/2012 17:04

Are you Liz Jones ;)

A minimum wage shop assistant who calls you 'my love' quite unconsciously & is pleasant to you; then gets slagged off on a public website FOR BEING NICE deserves to slap YOU.

Hope that helps.

GeraldineAubergine · 22/07/2012 17:28

I was in pound land earlier buying cheap stock cubes and tomato seeds and the shop assistant asked me how I was. Obviously I smashed a four pack of j20 over her had and called her a cocknob. I'm wearing a silver boob tube and purple loon pants btw.

LineRunner · 22/07/2012 17:37

Silver boob tubes are so twenty twelve. So that's all good then.

RecklessRat · 22/07/2012 17:58

I saw my neighbour outside earlier on.

He said hello to me and commented what a lovely day it was.

Cheeky fucking bastard. Who the fuck does he think he is to try and engage in normal social interaction with me, oiling the wheels of life so we can rub along together in a more or less convivial way.

It made me want to smash his face in. He hadn't even blow dried his hair.

Luckily mine looked nice though. I'm wearing galoshes and a kagoule.

SugarBatty · 22/07/2012 18:02

"Iv got a degree don't you know? I wear bobbi brown and converse don't you know?" Blah blah blah blah!

Haven't read all pages but op you have brightened up my dull sunday evening. You are a total snobshite! A word I just created for you!

SrirachaGirl · 22/07/2012 18:06

Hilarious Grin.

IfElephantsWoreTrousers · 22/07/2012 18:11

Are you in Bristol? It's normal to be addressed as "My Love" or "My Lover" by everyone. It's just normal, and the locals aren't going to change their normal modes of speech for anyone.

yayitssummer · 22/07/2012 18:37

in our local shops you would be lucky to be called love its more like piss of you twat tbh. fyi no one cares what you're wearing, seriously! also the make-up bit pointless. you are really up yourself and you got a degree big whoop so have many people and they're not bothered being called love

love

MyDogShitsMoney · 22/07/2012 19:20

Surely this has to go in Classics!

I don't care if we've been had, it's fricking hilarious.

I was in a right scabby mood earlier, now I'm papping all over the place!

People use cock all the time here, also lovey and duck.

My personal favorite though is my lover, best if said with a lovely south devon accent. Reminds me of childhood holidays, fishermen in the harbour selling fresh fish and boat rides, and the lady who worked in the ice cream kiosk on the prom.

Ah simpler times Smile

SugarBatty · 22/07/2012 19:35

But the op is clearly lying about her outfit. Surely her clothes are all made by Balmain and there's diamonds and pearls in her hair, yes there are.

OP where did you go to my LOVEly?

JeezyPeeps · 22/07/2012 20:03

I wonder if it should be a rule that all AIBU topics should be accompanied by a description of what the op is/was wearing?

I'm sure it would help is get a better picture...

Latara · 22/07/2012 20:04

orrroight mush.... :)

Latara · 22/07/2012 20:06

(I'm wearing Tesco cropped leggings & a store 21 blue dress pish posh or what)
