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.

yellowraincoat that doesn't surprise me actually. I guess it's just a matter of writing what your audience wants to read.

gosh- the quiet winter days must simply fly by at your house!

at the Rommel makeup.
Quite happy to be called My Love. Much better than being ignored or snarled at.

Daily Mail is definitely a tabloid, btw - so I hope you don't write for them and have delusions of grandeur

I love it when people call me love, duck or whatever. It is usually humanising and well-intended.

Rommel make-up is what you wear when you want people to get off of a crowded beach.

Yabu and this is one of the most entertaining flamings I've read for awhile.

'that's 2.48 me old lady'. That better?

YANBU, people with degrees should be addressed "Sir". Especially women.

"Love" is for old people. Actually, they should be addressed "dear".

"who wirites for the national broadsheet newspapers"

I second that Squeaky.

And by the way my love, being degree educated doesn't give you the right to talk to people like they're nothing. You do not know her background, she may also be degree educated but has fallen on hard times. Or is working towards a degree and working part time. Not that not having a degree makes you worth less of course.

For all you know in 10 years this girl may be your boss. Get over yourself.

I don't mind love, darling, dear, duck etc. I loathe "babe" though. Can't say the use of any of these would incite me to want to slap someone, or go to the trouble of telling a bunch of forum users how naice my hair and clothes are and thus how inappropriate the use of "my love" was from a lowly shop minion.

YABU.

AIBU to want to slap the op?

I'm currently wearing no bra, yesterdays work trousers and no shoes, and have no slap on at all.

JenaiMarr I think rather than "Sir" those of us who are super-smart enough to have earned a degree should be addressed at all times with our full letters.

"That'll be £5.79, BA Hons, 3rd class, Leeds".

"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."

Yeah, you sound like a cow.

The only person needing a slap here is the person looking down on the shop assistant, who, for all you know could be working there to help fund her law/medicine/politics/journalism degree. And if she isn't, and it's her full time job, so what?

Are you superior because you have skinny jeans and nice hair?

By the way, Superdrug is one word.

hth

Leeds Metropolitan?

YABU
Pensioners do not need patronising.
Young women under the age of 24 do not need a slap ( even if they don't genuflect at your 'converses' and naice hair)

hahahahahahahahahaha!

"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 disagree, my love. And, quite frankly, I think it's you that needs the slap.

at JeezyPeeps

I thought only chavs shopped in Superdrug? I wouldn't be seen dead in there. For the rest of us classy ladies it's all about Boots.

Bloody cunting autocorrect.

RIMMEL RIMMEL

The op is marginally older than me so I'll address her "BA Hons, 3rd class, Leeds, dear ".

I'm trying to think who this could be, I'm going to google.

lemarch it is.

You would think the OP would know that, what with being a super intelligent broadsheet journalist with nice hair

I get "me babber" too! I'm in deepest, darkest Dorset, but think is originally a Bristolian thing?

OP, you are exactly the reason why I gave up a job that involved customers!

I guess its all a matter who and in what context.

Being called "love" once is fine, (nice even ) . Being called love after every sentence by a patronising assistant in m&s (in my case) ,isn't and it makes my blood boil as well.

When i politely said she had called me love 5 times in the time it took to buy a couple of bras, she said it was just the way she spoke , in spite of the fact she wasc perfectly able to talk to others without slipping "love" into her speil

It was unprofessional and she was talking down to someone she saw with a walking stick.
