Next time that person says something like that, give him something back!
This was part of an email I recieved today and I thought it was pretty funny!
Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
Since Venus is normally associated with women, what does this tell you ?
That women are going the 'right' direction...?

But being calm about it, and saying it plainly as you did, shows him 3 things:
1. that he can't speak to you like that
2. that he can't control your emotions [even though you might be cussin' blue in your mind - like I would be]
3. that if he is to ever try it again, that you will be mature and sensible enough to report him! - which he definitely would not want!

Because dear girl, they are watching those old black and whites where every woman was a'baby' sounds like a part time pedaphile to me, and they even like those John Wayne movies where the girl slaps the guy and then he, well over two hundred pounds , socks her in the jaw. so proper, right?
Of course..this is what they are socialised into thinking is manly/macho behaviour.Quote:

I am not making much sense, am I?! :lol: :p I think I need coffee :)
eh I noticed the guy at work called me chuck saterday ( and realised this was where I had picked up the habit) turned around with a Ta love and that stopped him in his tracks and made him realsie what he'd said. and he didnt say it again all day, mind I dont doubt it will happen aagain and I won't notice it,, after 3 years withj all the customers pet-ing and duck-ing and love-ing and chuck-ing me Ive more or less come to terms with teh fact I am just going to have to accept it and live with it. :rolleyes:
Is "chuck" a pet name, Nightie? I've never heard it before.Quote:
