to think the man is ASDA shouldn't have told my DD that he would take her over his knee if she had been as cheeky to him as she was to me

[workshy]

DD is 11, but looks more like 13/14

we were in Asda this aft and I asked her to bend down and work out which pack of cat food worked out cheaper I have a bad back, she knows this, I'm not that lazy she said to me
'I'm not at school, I'm on holiday, and what did your last slave die of'

cheeky yes but said with a huge grin on her face, under normal circumstances I would have said 'oi, don't be cheeky' and she would have done it (I'm not looking for opinions on her behaviour btw)

but before I could open my mouth, the chap filling the shelf (mid 30s) said 'I'd put you over my knee for talking back to me like that young lady'

he said it with a big grin on his face, obviously joking and I laughed it off, but driving away the more annoyed I started to feel

now bearing in mind I'm on day 3 of giving up smoking and therefore prone to massive over reaction, he was out of order saying that wasn't he?

I used to get bracket related threats from my Dad. I must ask him what one is... He's Scottish so it may not just be an Essex thing.

BTW the correct response to the question, "what did your last slave die of?" is "exhaustion".

Yabu and so was he.
