Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
I had a helluva day today. I worked and I fucked up all sorts of things and I had to talk to some rude clients who yelled at me for no reason. I did not fuck up anything for the people who yelled at me but they yelled at me anyway. One of the shouters kept calling me dear and honey.
You're wrong about that, honey. You can't possibly have that right, dear. 23? You said 18 before, honey. You said 18 twice, dear. I know you did, dear. Why did you say 18 and now you say 23, honey? I want to talk to a supervisor, dear.
I got so fed up that I told him my name is not dear or honey and he should save it for his wife or girlfriend.
STOP TALKING AND GO AWAY!
Did I mention I had a bad day today?
Infinities of love to all of you but not to the man who yelled at me while calling me honey and dear.

These memes are hilarious…not your day though. I had an idiot call me honey and …dearie…I finally told him I’m neither and then he said Bless you. I just said, “I didn’t sneeze”. He kept saying bless you to make me feel guilty for telling him what he needed to hear from me. In my inner voice I wanted to say Satan doesn’t like those words.
ReplyDeleteHi, Birgit. Thanks for the visit. And, of course, bless you, dearie.
DeleteOops…this is Birgit
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your bad rotten day. And laughed in rueful recognition at all the funnies.
ReplyDeleteHello, dearest EC. Thank you for commiserating with me. It's almost 11 p.m. and I still haven't recovered. I also haven't eaten anything, which is not good.
DeleteLove,
Janie
It sucks that you had such a bad day, Janie. I hope tomorrow and the rest of the work week are wonderful to make up for it. All your memes made me laugh, especially that last one.
ReplyDeleteIt was better today. If it had sucked as much I might have given up and gone to bed.
DeleteSo sorry you had a shitty day, Janie! The memes were funny, at least. I hope tomorrow will be much better. ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. It was better today.
DeleteI had too many of those days which led me to retire early.
ReplyDeleteI can't afford to retire yet. I have about another 18 months before I reach full retirement age and if I can hang on a while beyond that it will help.
DeleteOh, honey, these memes are priceless! Wishing you a better Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear. It's nice to see you, honey.
DeleteOh I'm sorry you had such a rotten day. I love the grown-up meme.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Today was long but I survived it.
DeleteI am sorry about your crappy day. If it is any consolation, the memes you posted really gave me a smile, and again affirmed to me why I am glad I am retired!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy the memes made you smile, Michael. I wish I could join you in retirement.
DeleteI had a client call me 'Honey' one day and after the third time I said, "It's Bob."
ReplyDelete"What?"
My name is Bob."
"Oh, okay honey."
I can't.
Christ on a cracker, honey.
DeleteWhen someone is angry, and also uses dear or honey, it feels so condescending and derogatory. I'm sorry your day went so poorly. (Those memes, though - they're excellent.) May tomorrow go much better! Don't let yesterday leak into it!
ReplyDeleteIt was so demeaning to have a man telling me I don't know what I'm doing while calling me by those so-called terms of endearment.
DeleteDear is so overused it's like an involuntary hiccup. Honey is for bees and Russian teacakes. Have a much better day tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI don't mind when a client concludes a conversation by saying Thanks so much for your help, dear. I know they mean to be kind so I'm not offended. It's having a man call me by those names repeatedly while shouting at me that got to me.
DeleteAck. Sorry you had a bad day. That last graphic is a hoot.

I thought it was funny, too, Sandra.
DeleteAdding dear or honey when bitching is so condescending. Look on the bright side, at least you're not married to the jerk.
ReplyDeleteI was already married to that jerk's brother. Never again.
DeleteSorry you had such a bad day. But I did enjoy the memes! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't the last one hilarious? I'd say I worked in hell if I had to go the office regularly.
