How can i ignore you Sir .

RULE 1: Walk into a shop to browse and you'll be accosted by a pushy salesman within 15 seconds.

RULE 2: Go in to buy something and everyone will ignore you and refuse to even make eye contact.

Are you listening Currys, and you too Comet, that's why you went bust.

Pushing a £10 extended warranty on a £25 iron tends to make customers go elsewhere too .

Unless said customer happens to be a girlie .

If anyone called me 'madam' I wouldn't be happy lol

Point taken, toots.

 

[ScotiaLass]

Sorry Sir!

You meant 'your gorgeousness' surely?

 

[Brandane]

You meant 'your gorgeousness' surely?

Of course....

 

[ScotiaLass]

Of course....

While in the States, or if hubby is feeling particularly remorseful, a 'Yes ma'am' is acceptable

What about, 'my dear'?

I walked out of PC World for a similar reason.

The tablet was already on the counter and scanned through the till when he still wouldn't give up on the extended guarantee -

So you don't want the extended warranty?
No.
Why not?
Because I don't.

The tone of my reply obviously wasn't enough to cause him to deviate from his salesman's training course script as I then got -

I'm interested to know why you don't want it?

Which ended with me saying, "I've already told you I don't want it, and now I don't want that either," and pointing to the tablet I exited empty handed with a big grin on my face.

 

[ScotiaLass]

What about, 'my dear'?

No.
For you, 'mistress' is acceptable lol

 

[stephec]

No.
For you, 'mistress' is acceptable lol

Very acceptable, more like mandatory I would have thought.

 

[Vapin' Joe]

No.
For you, 'mistress' is acceptable lol

Images of whips and handcuffs spring to mind...

Glad it wasn't just me that had that thought.
