Things you say

[Made in 1968]

I always call women love, Like 'Thank you love' or 'after you lov'e.. People that get offended are either not from around here are snooty bitches up their own arses..

Anyone else?

Appen it's a Yorkshire thing,I know blokes that say old love to other blokes, it's not meant to offend.come to think of it, women and men say it to me when I'm on my delivery, though it's probably almost all those over 50yrs

It is and thats why outsides take it the wrong way.. Just something ive always said..

Well Yorkshire is a Kingdom, the biggest county in the uk albeit 75% of it is a cack hole, but they are very lucky they are allowed in :lol:

Not what I say, but what others say gets my goat - biggest offender is when someone says “Pacific” instead of “specific” - I literally want to rip out their jugular with my bare hands! *

* legal clarification - if you say Pacific instead of specific I won’t actually murder you, just in my head. [emoji51]

Some people just like to find things to get offended by - if some woman was offended by me calling them love I'd just enquire if it was that time of the month, thereby showing them my sensitive side :)

Women have been calling me love all my life, but almost always older women. Happening less and less :(

For me, it's not so much *what* you say, but how you say it. Calling women "love" isn't something I do, but if said in the right way (with friendliness and warmth), it shouldn't cause offence. Ultimately, it's all about the TONE you use to express yourself.

My pet hate is guys who are married referring to their wives as 'the wife', rather than 'my wife', which just sounds much nicer and more respectful. If I ever referred to Del as 'the wife", she'd rightfully give me a slap!:D

They do. I bumped into a woman's supermarket trolley that was in the way whilst shopping and moved it a few inches. She wasn't even holding onto it, but still said loudly, "excuse me". I just told her to shut up :). What was she expection, that I apologise to a trolley?

[struth]

around here, it used to be at least, that women got called hen. by both men an women, and as a matter of friendliness.. "thanks hen"
My mother, who wasnt from here, when first hearing it, was quite upset lol

:lol: Well done that man! Did you actually say "shut up", or "Shat it you slag!" with a cockney accent :D the miserable old bint is probably used to getting her own way with a bit of what the Americans called passive-aggressive bollocks. Responding with a bit of aggressive-aggressive is clearly the way to go.

I have been addressed as "darling" by female bar staff. I took it in the spirit it was given. A particular hate of mine is being asked by the bar staff "What do you want?", to which I pointedly reply "What I would like .... ". :doh:


Thoroughly agree with the last paragraph Marco - it's always been a pet annoyance of mine.

Yup, that's the essence of it for me. Perhaps they were coming onto you, though - were they staring at the bulge in your wallet or some other 'package'?:eyebrows:;)

That reminds me of the, by now, familiar anecdote of someone askeing an attractive woman if she fancied a fuck and being declined, would reply "Well, would you mind laying down whilst I have one".
