to want to slap the assistant in Super Drug

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 everything you said in your op?
You should have said it to the shop assistant.
She wouldn't have called you love then cunt maybe

Ephiny · 19/07/2012 14:28

Does SuperDrug still exist? I haven't seen one in years!

(the 'love' thing sounds a bit annoying, but not that offensive surely?)

tartyflette · 19/07/2012 14:28

If is is Liz Jones, she is indeed economising with the truth -- according to Wiki, she's 54!

perplexedpirate · 19/07/2012 14:29

You are Liz Jones, and I claim my five pounds! Grin

FateLovesTheFearless · 19/07/2012 14:29

My love I don't mind. Luv fucks me right off depending on the context it's used in and with what tone.

A super drug lassie being polite and friendly wouldn't have bothered me at all.

Yabu.

Vagaceratops · 19/07/2012 14:29

Fuck me someone has got a superiority complex.

Either that or you are just a nasty bitch.

starfishmummy · 19/07/2012 14:30

The quality of broadsheet newspapers is definitely going downhill, if the original post reflects the standard of IamNotYourLove's writing.

On the other hand, perhaps the whole thing has been made up to get material for her next article.

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 19/07/2012 14:30

I don't think you are any ones love tbh. Certainly not with your get up and attitude.

Oh hang on ......

My puppy wants to thank you for your talents. She much prefers shitting on the broadsheets.

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 19/07/2012 14:30

If its Katie Hopkins I'll personally hunt this shop assistant down and shake her hand.

Being nice to that massive prick is going above & beyond the call of duty!

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 19/07/2012 14:30

Is it that Brick woman, back in Britain for the hols? I imagine the poor assistant was probably completely knocked for six by the OP's beauty, hence all the "loves".

SoleSource · 19/07/2012 14:30

It's a regional thing isn't it? Here it is considered a bit common to say love...

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 14:30

We only have your word that you have nice hair.

I bet its a Mummy Bob? really.

Glitterkitten24 · 19/07/2012 14:31

Wow, you sound lovely!
Pity you didn't learn about politeness or basic manners as part of your outstanding education or via your broadsheets. Sleath boast perhaps?

Maybe you'd have rather she glared at you/ didn't speak/ was rude to you instead?

DumSpiroSpero · 19/07/2012 14:31

And she certainly doesn't write for any broadsheets that I'm aware of, tarty!

She does often mention wearing BB slap though.

JugsMcGee · 19/07/2012 14:32

Do you buy naice ham too OP?

catus · 19/07/2012 14:32

YABU. A few weeks ago, I left England forever after 10 years there, and I already miss being called "love" at the till...

BupcakesandCunting · 19/07/2012 14:33

OP has farked orf. We've either been trolled or she's having her PA administer smelling salts to help her over the shock of a common shop girl being familiar with her.

Sallyingforth · 19/07/2012 14:34

I hope you don't write such patronising crap for the papers.
And I really hope you use a spell checker.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 19/07/2012 14:34

Maybe Obelix has called her over for some loving.

TheVermiciousKnid · 19/07/2012 14:36

No, OP hasn't farked off (maybe she should though Grin). Has nobody else noticed her second post (as canistartagainplease)? I've got a temperature, but I'm sure I'm not hallucinating yet!

Thecunningstunt · 19/07/2012 14:36

"converses" Grin were your shoes talking to each other?

TheVermiciousKnid · 19/07/2012 14:36

Second post at 14.18. Come on, get with it!

SoleSource · 19/07/2012 14:37

Honey Grin LOL

yellowraincoat · 19/07/2012 14:39

I think canistartagainplease is a totally different poster. She says she has a walking stick (which OP doesn't mention) and was in M&S buying bras, not in Superdrug buying Harmony hair dye.
