to want to stab these two people in Tesco with a potato peeler for making comments about dd

[EyeballsisonaDietAgain]

Let me establish firstly that dd is a gorgeous child. I know that won't cut any ice as I'm her mother but she is truly gorgeous, everyone comments on her and she isn't odd looking at all

So today I take her shopping in a long sleeve blue vest, denim pinafore with pink flowers on, pink ankle socks and pink and white sandals. So, bloke in Tesco says 'oh he's cute. Why is he wearing pink socks?' 'Because he's a girl,' says I. So he calls his colleague over and asks her if dd is a girl or boy (??). 'She's a girl,' I assure them both. So this witch looks down at dd and says 'never mind dear, you'll grow into your features.'

Now WTF???
a) how bloody rude
b) dd is 16 months and looks like a girl not a wrinkled up little newborn that could be either
c) how bloody rude again
d) what have her features got to do with anything?

I suspect I'm being a little pfb but really. Some people! My mother thinks that writing to the MD to complain about his staff is a little OTT...

I obviously didn't put enough smiley faces in my op. Yes I was a bit pissed off that they made such a big deal in front of everyone but I'm not such a nutter that I would write and complain or stab people in the school playground. I might go and moan on an internet forum but that's the extent of it.

I realise you wouldn't write and complain, eyeballs, but I think some others just might

Eyeballs, it is dead weird what the Tesco employee said and did. No doubt. But not apoplexy inducing.

I'd've just said, "Alright weirdos, get on with your work now,"

In fact, take a friend next time you go, seek out the employee, and you say, "Excuse me young lady but could you tell me where the beans are?" and get your friend to come over and back you up if he refutes the fact he is female.

If you really care about what they think, that is.

I realise too..I assume you are bypassing those forms of complaint and taking a potato peeler to them . or lobbing a frozen leg of lamb.

I honestly think a word would not be unreasonable if you were upset by it. Other than that I'd say hey ho. I Still think adults should be aware that this is not a good thing to be doing however. If kids did this they'd get in trouble!

I am at posters getting all at you saying you want to stab them!

I think you SHOULD write just incase you get some freebies (thats the reason I usually write letters of complaint)

Seriously though, its one thing getting it wrong, its quite another pursuing the bloody issue to death. Silly arses.

My DS2 is always getting called a girl even though he is now 6. Its because he has dreadlocks which are quite long. He doesnt look anything like a girl but some people are easily confused.

If you do a letter there is every chance they will send you a boys outfit as an apology

i personally think you should make a homemade bomb and blo the place up

PMSL @ "Alright weirdos, get on with your work now,"

I was shocked at anyone acting like this but when you said they were staff I was speechless

This deffo needs a letter to the manager..

Ever wonder how some people keep their jobs

oh fgs .. I dont think the op sounded like she was serious about stabbing people

get a grip people

i would have fly kicked them

Use a blunt spoon! Potato peeler is too messy

Should have asked them to go and find some tartan paint.

Always knew Peachy was a hairy trucker bloke!

I would write and complain

That actually made me gasp out loud and do a goldfish impression. Appalling.

Complain, complain, complain.

Next time you are in, take a friend then 'call them over' to gawp at the ugly shop assistant.
