Feeling anxious about husband being misunderstood in the world now controlled by the wokeness police,!!

Good grief I am so glad I take no notice of these kind of things, I work in a supermarket and receive all sorts. " thanks love" from elderly, younger chaps, we have much older men come in and after helping them out through the notorious self serve, it can be a "your an angel" "ohh thankyou so much" " thanks darling" if I had to report the many things that are said, then most of the older/younger men would be locked up behind bars. I take no offence what so ever (unless something nasty of course).

some poncy idiot

I think your getting a bit too comfy in that barrel 😂
I think we should stencil your name on it.

It gets a bit bumpy at times 😂

Depends so much who, where, why and how. If some poncy idiot clearly patronises me in a condescending way- he will get put in his place. But mostly, no problem at all- as said, living and working in the Potteries and Leicestershire, in the 70s and 80s- I just got used to it, and loved it.

As a Weegie, that did make me smile, grummpa.

A charming young Glaswegian lady has just bumped into me and said Oops, sorry darling! I have not taken offence

🤔
It wasn't meant to be a joke btw.

My turn in the barrel again!
Roll out the barrel, it's getting quite crowded today.

Your rights cannot infringe mine, empathy or not

Being called "darling" is very much a nono

Don't be riddiculous it's wouldn't bother me it someone called me darling or wolf whistled at me. Pc and Woke has taken over from common sense, would anyone even want to call you darling or me for that matter 😅

See this is what happens.

It starts with "darling", next thing you know they are wolf whistling you and putting your hand on their crotch.

Oh, and telling you that you're not worth calling "darling" anyway.

Can you not show some sympathy for the OP and her husband volver. That was cruel and unnecessary.

Cruel and unnecessary indeed!

Blimey!

What happens if they call you Duck?
I dread to think!

Strange that you though it was funny until the "tell her off" bandwagon trundled by.

So, to all those who have decided to tell me off.

Get off your high horses. I told the OP several pages ago that I was sympathetic to her plight.

Someone else brought up crotches (and apologised, I know). Someone else decided to say that another poster wasn't worth calling "darling".

And, in case you are interested but I'm sure you are not, I have experience of dealing with somebody with Lewy Body dementia whose "filter" was way off.

By they do you mean people like sankev's husband, volver? People who have had strokes, a brain injury or dementia?

I'll repost my link, it might be helpful to those who have no experience of dealing with people who have become disinhibited due to such conditions.

Whatever happened to compassion?

I wondered about that too. It is certainly lacking from some of the posts.

Or hen, which is heard in our part of the world.

I haven’t heard the expression, cool with me, since the sixties. Is it making a comeback ? Not too sure I could still use it at 73.

This thread has taken on a life of its own sankev don't worry what others think, you know your husband is a good man and has just lost his filters a bit after his stroke. It shouldn’t be necessary to apologise for him but if anyone shows concern just explain quietly. Don't let it stop you going out and socialising, the problem is with others not you or your husband. I wish you both well.

Oh that's awful, Gossamerbeynon1945. Just because they have worse cases shouldn't mean that you don't get any support or help to which you may be entitled. Try contacting your local CAB for advice, or get in touch with the Stroke Association and see if they can offer any advice.

I wish my husband could speak. He just comes out with a load of rubbish! He had a stroke in 2015. I don't mind "darling" at all. To all the people who replied to my previous post, I have been in contact with Social Services, but I don't hold out much hope! They said that I just have to get on with it, and that they have much worst cases.

Some loose screws found in aisle 5- please come to customer service if you are missing any

And that is supposed to mean just what?
When it comes to inappropriate language a new depth seems to have been plumbed.

If theres any chance people could explain to me what's going on that would be good too.

Will people please learn how quotes work?

Please?

Any chance?
