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.

Love this thread. I thought converse were a mid-40s cliche by now. I've moved on to Primark ballet slippers and haven't been patronised by a shop assistant for weeks. Think on, OP.

Jenai LOL!

Tee2072 · 19/07/2012 16:16

Yes, and you're so proud of your own behaviour you either had to namechange completely or create a new account just to post this. Hmm

The checkout lady in tesco called me young lady yesterday.

She said to her manager "this young lady needs a refund"

I could have kissed her.

young lady.

I wasn't wearing converses or bobbi brown or any makeup either.

The joy :)

thegreylady · 19/07/2012 16:19

I am an old age pensioner and I don't need patronising by the likes of you my love.

Fecklessdizzy · 19/07/2012 16:21

What would you have prefered OP ... Your Grace?

Get over yourself.

Sweetie.

BupcakesandCunting · 19/07/2012 16:23

"Your Grace" Grin

Reminds me of Father Ted when Dougal calls Bishop Brennan Len instead of Your Grace.

"LEN?! You will refer to me as Your Grace, ye little bollocks!"

You are a stuck up twit,

If you come from my Northern home town Love or Duck, are very normal friendly forms of address. I love hearing them I very rarely get to go back that way, since my grandparents died.

thebody · 19/07/2012 16:24

Yes op of course you are right. Lowly shop workers should bow to you as a professional intelligent woman with skinny jeans..

You may be clever, who knows but as my gran used to say there are many educated fools!

Get over yourself, you sound like a rite stuck up cow bab.

Bab is wot us commen brummies say!

Olympia2012 · 19/07/2012 16:24

ThePigOnTheWall · 19/07/2012 16:27

I think the shop assistant was BU because you quite clearly aren't a love op. you sound like a crashing snob

TheHappyHissy · 19/07/2012 16:28

CinnamonSal · 19/07/2012 16:28

Obviously a troll.

ilovesprouts · 19/07/2012 16:28

deffo YABU she was only been nice to you love Grin

Creamtea1 · 19/07/2012 16:29

I quite like your grace, or perhaps my lady? As in 'bag, my lady?'
What would be brilliant is if the assistant just pointed to the bags and death stared you directly in the eye.
And then muttered 'converse fuckpig' under his/her breath

Zhaghzhagh · 19/07/2012 16:30

Gosh you lot are tough. I'm with OP - it's horrible.

thebody · 19/07/2012 16:34

How can it be horrible to be called love? What fuckin planet are you on?

ThePigOnTheWall · 19/07/2012 16:35

I laughed at "converse fuckpig"

I have to get rid of mine don't I?

scentednappyhag · 19/07/2012 16:36

Converse and skinnies? You stylish thing you Wink
OP, you're a cocksandwich. You needed to know, it's for the best.

cheekybarsteward · 19/07/2012 16:36

I quite often get called 'cock' by assistants in this area. Still takes me by surprise but tis just a term of endearment.....well at least I think it is? Hmm
