She has, like, negative tact. I swear to god. Negative tact and not a clue. I love her, but wow.
I saw that and thought, dang, MY mom would do that, too. Like, she's just stating a fact...that happens to be insulting to someone standing right there. But it's JUST A FACT! Lots of people don't feel that way, so it's okay!
My mom would totally do that. (Actually, I have an aunt who does that on the regular. I'll post a picture after a haircut and she'll comment with "I liked your hair longer." OKAY THEN.)
Ha! msbelle is so not a Becky.
When I had jury a couple of years ago it was Friday, February 14. I got a lot of reading done that day.
Ugh, Plei. Tone deaf. I'm sorry the family is riding the tactless wave this week.
Becky? Oh hell no. msbelle, you may be the nicest, but I'm not. I know people. You want that the offender should disappear?
Ha! msbelle is so not a Becky.
My first thought as well. Why would you ever shorten someone's name without knowing that they went by that nickname? Especially in a business setting.
Plei, ugh. I'm sorry your family is being so difficult this week.
This post brought to you by OMG, MOTHER! I AM GOING TO CRAW UNDER A TABLE NOW AND BOGGLE.
On the plus side, now that your brother and mother have both checked in this week with their their particular character sets, we appreciate your awesomeness EVEN MORE.
And he is my area's HR head. He gets the stinkeye.
Oh my goodness, Plei, I just came across that. Since it isn't my mother, it kind of made me giggle, but I imagine it is not funny if it is your mother.
I've never had to say "please don't call me Tommy" to anyone more than once. Maybe they can sense the rage right below the surface.
No one really ever calls me anything except Nadine. Except in middle school when people decided my nickname should be Neigh-Moo, which is just odd, and one friend in college who thought I should be Mel.
I do however, get called Nancy, Naomi, Nellie, and Renee a lot.
