Another pathetic bimbo!
S.
Two things are beginning to really bug me but I had better learn to be calm about them because they wont change.
1) The constant raising of inflections with just about everything they say. The mundane chat that they think is highlighted or makes them more interesting with a raised ending....save it for a eureka invention moment when it is actually important! :(
2) saying "Enjoy" when they hand you a plate of food. Have they served it not for me to enjoy. It goes without saying but they say it in that twee way that makes them feel they are doing their job. I would rather hear something more substantial to break the ice.....I hate small talk
I will let them know if I dont enjoy it....its almost like an instruction :(
Back to being a grumpy old man :)
Just as annoying as supermarket check-out staff saying a disinterested 'have a nice day'! We have the yanks to thank for this kind of insincere crap!!
Keen supermarket checkout staff calling me 'sir'. Nothing worse than being overly enthusiastic in a crappy job. That's another American thing I suppose. Do the job properly, yes, but no bullshit, thanks.
I often get addressed as 'Sir' in shops if I'm wearing a tie, or a suit. If school pupils do it though, I'm flabbergasted.
What does annoy me however is being asked "How are you today?" by shop assistants - it's none of their business. What they should be asking is "How can I help you (Sir)?".
I dont mind it now. gives you an excuse to natter. Old age has its benefits sometimes:eyebrows:
