...that she looks like Rosemary Shragar from I'm a celebrity in the jungle.

I know her reasonably well and i get on with her quite well always have abit of achat and that,she said wasn't watching the show i said oh well .She definetly did look like her and her colleague said to me on the quiet maybe she would be offended if i said she looked like Rosemary.I felt a bit awkward and said no she's a super person and i hope she wins the show which was a bit of a white lie really i was just trying to big her up like (I felt like i got my shuffle out ) Over to you .

I'm well known for my charm, thanks Thanks

HecatePropylaea · 27/11/2012 16:28

People may be being a bit blunt, but behind that is a serious point that it might be useful to you to take on board. I have 'funny' people who crack up calling me my first name and a celebrity's surname (I have the same first name as them). I laughed politely at first. Then a smile. Then a tight smile...

I bet loads of people make the same 'joke' you do. All thinking they're oh so funny and he's really enjoying the light hearted banter. Oh yes. I'm X person. I never heard that before. everyone thinks they're the only person to ever make that 'joke'. If the same person kept on doing it I'd feel like screaming!

I don't know about him, but behind my smile I am fantasising about leaping at them and throttling them with my bare hands. Grin

It isn't funny. That's not me being mean. It just isn't funny. speaking about the hell that is everyone thinking they're a comedian about my name - it gets boring FAST!

TheOnlyPersonInTheRoom · 27/11/2012 16:28

Rosemary has beautiful startling blue eyes, but you have to watch the show to know that.

I know someone who looks like Maxine Carr but I daren't ask in case it IS her.

CarrotCrunchersCrimboCracker · 27/11/2012 16:29

oh here comes another bully mammaTJ might of guessed you piece of work .Get off it if you don't like it mammaTJ

thought the lady in the supermarket who was no oil painting would feel very much complimented because in fact Rosemary is much better looking so in that retrospect i was paying her a huge compliment

WTF?!

HairyGrotter · 27/11/2012 16:32

Carrot, you really come across as those socially lacking nutters who thinks they are funny but are infact cringeworthy and annoying. Stop spitting your weird dummy out

SoupDragon · 27/11/2012 16:33

Did you mean that to make you sound so nasty?

Flatasawitchestit · 27/11/2012 16:34

My ex mil looks like her, even my ds (age 10) noticed last night Blush

Mind you I used to think she also looked like the mum of the baddies from The Goonies too.

MammaTJ · 27/11/2012 16:34

I don't think AIBU is really the right place for you. You really want the 'Oh my god, I'm wonderful and everyone will agree with me' section. Shame there isn't one here.

What I came and saw was you asking AIBU, you being told 'Yes you are BU', you throwing a bit of a strop about it.

Bit of a rubbish thread really.

HTH Grin

SantasComingFace · 27/11/2012 16:35

Hmm OP you are a real charmer. I'm sure those staff look forward to your visit.

StrawWars · 27/11/2012 16:36

I think you really need to be careful - this is a woman who works in a supermarket, and therefore has to maintain standards of customer service (pleasantness, politeness, etc) to customers - i.e. people like you - as part of her job. You're not equals in the sense that if you say something to a friend, they can say what they like in response... Don't make her job harder!

And if you mean it as a compliment, to make her feel good, you wouldn't feel the need to tell white lies in order to ""big her [RS] up". And if you mean it as an observation rather than a compliment, just don't. What's the point? It would be like saying (as my 3yo does) "you've got no hair" to a bald man.

CarrotCrunchersCrimboCracker · 27/11/2012 16:36

Anyhow as i said before the woman in the supermarket was a lot rougher(Rough as a badgers coat) than Rosemary andin fact Rosemary would have been a bit upset i would have imagined if she had heard what i had said . So i was paying the lady in the supermarket a back handed compliment if you see waht i mean.How does that sound?

OP you're so wacky! Do you wear wacky ties and, when introducing yourself to people, follow it with "I'm dead wacky me!"?

What other wacky things do you do other than starting threads about pretend things on the internet and using words like "beastly" in a wacky manner?

Have a LOL from me, for sheer wackiness.

Enigmosaurus · 27/11/2012 16:39

OP you sound like the kind of cuntomer customer the staff would run off the shop floor to avoid.

BunnyLebowski · 27/11/2012 16:40

You really do sound rather unhinged odd OP.

And not very....switched on.

I'd probably rethink my self-appointed 'funny' status if I were you.

CarrotCrunchersCrimboCracker · 27/11/2012 16:43
