DH has started misusing "myself", like he's an estate agent or works in a call centre. WIBU to LTB?

[MardyBra]

He had very good grammar when I married him in the last century.

It's very embarrassing.

He'll be calling you "dear" soon and asking to wear matching fleeces

That should have read: 'I feel, myself, personally...'

Note the comma after 'feel'.

I'm now going to thrash myself soundly with a copy of Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

Even though I hate Lynn Truss and the book is too small to do serious damage.

I've noticed my dh signs off his work e-mails with 'Kind regards' and sometimes abbreviates this to 'KR'.

This is almost as worrying as incorrect use of reflexive pronouns.

I'm not sure if he's team "text" or "texted".

His IT team have provided him with a very fancy phone, which he uses for the sole purpose of making calls.

Does he say "Lidls" and "Westfields" and "Aldis"?

It does sound like a severe case.

Mardy, what do you, yourself, think you, yourself, should do about it, Mardy?

I have a similar problem in that my DP says, ''You OK'' as a greeting rather than Hello. As we live oop north it confuses people massively who mumble, er yeah thanks and wonder why he didn't just say hello ffs. He says its a Norfolk thing, I pinch his thigh every time he does it. I see myself as the Barbara Woodhouse figure in his life, making him a better dog man.

(I felt obliged to add the grin, i'm fucking serious tho').

at this thread... I had a similar experience with a call centre bloke today who was going to 'email yourself a copy'

Dickhead...

Newt We don't have any of those where we live (dead posh, you know). He does say "Sainsbury's" but not "Waitrose's".

Best thread I've read in ages!! One of my pet hates. If he starts saying could of and should of then definitely ltb!

Newt... And mataland?

Mardy

John Lewises? Surely

Goofy

My mum call her car a Ford Kay Ay, thus missing the whole point of the KA/car pun

LTB!

What is wrong with kind regards? it is standard business sign off on emails surely?

Tee That doesn't sound that ungrammatical.

It's when people use yourself instead of "you" that I get the rage.

The call centre people are the worst.

"Can you bear with myself while I look up the details?"
"I'll send yourself a copy in the post."

My parents also called the Ka a K A as they said it was confusing with their other car otherwise . Thank god that they now have a fiesta.

"Kind regards" is fine. KR is odd.

Kind regards is ok, but KR? A bit wanky, surely?

I'm afraid I was also expecting to read about your husband pleasuring himself senseless in the fashion of actual professional wankers estate agents.

KR would confuse - I'd think it was either someone with those initials signing on his behalf, or some sort of Knight-based honorific.

lottie

Ikr

I have never seen KR. Not even from an estate agent.

Eurgh... Yes I have seen KR, just fucking lazy... Although probably better than a typo I once saw 'kind retards'

Very funny link newt

And so odd seeing all those celebs in the audience with their '80s hair and shoulder pads.

Yes krabby, KR is wanky. Thought you were objecting to kind regards too. Recently saw BW for best wishes too.
