To of been offended

So in Boots earlier with my DD in her pram. At the till and the lady while scanning my good was peering at my pram.
She smiles and starts saying "oh what a beautiful..."
My chest starts to puff up, little smile on my face...
She finishes "colour pram"

PRAM? Colour fucking pram?? What about my PFB in the pram? Hey? HEY??

(Lighthearted incase anyone starts a PFB rant and I walked away giggling to myself)

Ferret you fucker. You've ear wormed me.

A bugaboo bee would certainly catch my eye!

HoneyD Glad to be of service.

Ferret you fucker has such a nice ring to it...

Somebody said that to me once. I didn't really think about, probably too tired, but my mum was a bit upset, that her beautiful first born grandson had been ignored, and the pram had been complimented.

I went to see a friend with my PFB, who was only a week old so frankly I was doing well to go to her, not have her come to me. Her first words were - what a lovely car seat. I did reply - never mind the car seat, what about the baby

To HAVE been offended!

I just found it funny that she thought to compliment a pram! I like the idea of the compliment/insult game that a PP said. Sounds like something I'd do

It's ok DD, I think you're beautiful

Oh sod off leonie this is a chat forum not a bloody English paper!

OP that made me laugh

You have every right to pull a teacher up on basic grammar but you are NOT the OP's teacher, this is not school, she is not your pupil and it's rude to pick apart a harmless post.

It might not be laziness, it might be that a person genuinely doesn't know the difference. In any case it's not your place to educate the OP especially as that was the only contribution to the thread.

Go and see the head teacher if your children are genuinely being taught the examples you have given.

Leonie, you realise that you failed to capitalise the first words of each of your sentences? That, to me, is a far worse sin than confusion between of & have.
That really made me smile OP! How did you respond? Or were you too taken aback?

Ha ha ha ha lilac well spotted

Capitails!

Life is too short to let someone who has nothing better to do then correct your grammar bother you

And in response, I just said "oh thank you, you can't miss it can you?"

I just googled as they weren't around when ds was little - seriously impressive pram, it's lovely, as I am sure your baby is too

Obviously I meant capitals

I saw this thread and my first thought was I wonder how long it will take the grammar police to make a snarky comment.
