weirdcal Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Its all just people who don't feel they have control over their own lives and people prey on it. If i were to say something to you like "A stranger will reveal themselves and it will open up an opportunity" Mobile posting is a pain in the tits for editing mistoooooks Edited September 21, 2014 by weirdcal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) People who don't call their husband/wife/partner/children by their names when talking about them to other people, and refer to them as 'him/her/missus' etc. A few of my colleagues are bad for this. "I'm meeting up with the missus after work", "had to go home and make him his tea", "he was up at 5am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep". I've been working with a guy for nearly two years now and only recently did I find out what his wife was called. Why do people do this? It would be ok if the other person knew them personally, but it is ok to do this when they've never met them?!

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I always refer to my wife as "the current Mrs NBB". Pisses her off no end. Next time refer to her as the incumbent, she'll think she's been promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Phoenix Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Next time refer to her as the incumbent, she'll think she's been promoted. Better still refer to her as the ex, she'll think she's won a gold watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be ok if the other person knew them personally, but it is ok to do this when they've never met them?! Not sure I'm understanding this. Surely people refer to "the missus" in order to prevent having to constantly explain who "Sally/Barry/Charmaine/whatever" is? Sounds like you've got your whole rationale backwards. Maybe it's just that I've never worked anywhere that anyone gave a single f**k about the people they work with. Also, I've always got the impression that most people hate their spouses, which explains the whole "he/she/it" thing. I've worked with several people who seemed one snore away from hacking off their husband's genitals; the use of third-person pronouns seemed positively warm in comparison to the rest of the stuff that came out of their mouths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 You should watch some James Randi videos on youtube, it's funny when he calls them out on the bullshit. I don't know who he is, but I like his name. Does he drive weirdcal's Free Candy van? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Zane Lowe and his constant ass kissing. I like most of the music he plays but some of it is shit and he bangs on about it as if it's the next best thing. Fern Cotton is exactly the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
