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.

Perhaps she should have called you Madam, as you certainly sound like one.

paradisechick · 19/07/2012 14:04

I'm still laughing at 'would you like a bag you cunt?'

GetOrfMoiiLand · 19/07/2012 14:04

'me babber' Grin

tartyflette · 19/07/2012 14:04

Tsk tsk. Two slaps in three sentences. Not terribly impressive for a professional writer, is it. You're WEARING slap, she needed a SMACK. (Professional editor here)

And what everyone else says -- get over yourself.

yellowraincoat · 19/07/2012 14:04

paradisechick that made me titter too.

I've certainly thought that in my dealings with the public.

hiddenhome · 19/07/2012 14:04

You sound like a right stuck up cow love Smile

kittyfishersknickers · 19/07/2012 14:05

Well I've got two degrees and I like being called 'my love'. So there.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 19/07/2012 14:05

So if you were a writer for the sun and wore Rommel make up, they could call you love?

Must remember to check people's jobs/make up brands more carefully in future.

paradisechick · 19/07/2012 14:05

What do you write and for which newspaper?

Taking lunch orders for the office doesn't count.

spongebrainfatpants · 19/07/2012 14:05

Are you Liz Jones? She's dreadfully up herself.

TandB · 19/07/2012 14:05

What in the name of arse does the skinniness of your jeans have to do with anything?

Would you prefer her to have called you TerribleCuntface?

Would you like a bag for that, TerribleCuntface?
Lovely weather we're having, TerribleCuntface.

PurplePidjin · 19/07/2012 14:06

Wow, something so trivial that took up 7.628 seconds of your day has you this irate?

Are you Liz Jones?

spongebrainfatpants · 19/07/2012 14:06

Ha ha Tantrums, did Rommel wear make up?! Grin

StrandedBear · 19/07/2012 14:06

I call everyone 'my lovely' or fangs believe I am bout to admit this on MN hun/honey

yellowraincoat · 19/07/2012 14:06

Tantrums is Rommel some kind of Rimmel knock-off?

squeakytoy · 19/07/2012 14:06

"who wirites for the national broadsheet newspapers"

I hope they proof read for you then. :)

MackerelOfFact · 19/07/2012 14:06

Someone in their mid-forties channeling the hot fashions of 2006 probably does look a bit like a pensioner to a 24-year-old. Grin

EduStudent · 19/07/2012 14:06

Actually, I'm under 24. What would you like me to call you? I can think of lots of options, but I'm not sure how many you'd go for Grin

NarkedRaspberry · 19/07/2012 14:06

Surely the Daily Mail writers would wear Rommel make up?

Quenelle · 19/07/2012 14:07

YABU. And very touchy.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 19/07/2012 14:07

Rude, nasty and a snob.

Biscuit

EduStudent, I LOVE the sound of 'me babber'! Whereabouts are you?

tartyflette · 19/07/2012 14:07

LOVE Rommel makeup- -- does it travel in Nazi staff cars and say 'for you ze war is over' when you smudge your eyeliner?

StellarforStar · 19/07/2012 14:07

If it is you Liz, you don't 'alf peddle some drivel, love.

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 19/07/2012 14:07

I'd rather be called my love than grumpy fool with a stick up my arse...which might have been more appropriate Grin

YABU

NarkedRaspberry · 19/07/2012 14:08

Maybe the fact that the OP was wandering around topless unsettled the assistant.
