I'm hearing this phrase a LOT at work and in other situations.
'She struggles speaking to customers, bless her.'
'He's no idea with spreadsheets, bless him.'
'He's needed a lot of time off with that, bless him.'
'Her exam results weren't brilliant, bless her.'
It's fecking patronising, and simply disguised bitching, imho. If you've got something to say, own it. Don't dress it up as faux concern.
If this makes one person stop and think before uttering my work here is done.
Thanks for listening. Bless you.
