Call Me Old Fashioned
30 Answers
Some weeks ago my next door neighbour's son who knows me very well and I go in and out of their house.
But I was walking Mr Harv at night and I thought I heard persistent screaming of my name - in the dark I am looking all around but it was P aged 12 - it is me Conne.
The following day I said to P why were you screaming my name when you know I am deaf. He said I don't know.
Now my mother bless her years many years ago - the young lads used to call her by her first name and she approached about 6 of them one time - let me tell you lads - it is rude what you do - call me Mrs Connemmara.
That is how I am feeling - there was a little disrespect here. Just faffing about here. Any answers.

They probably thought it was more funny 'cos they knew you wouldn't hear them. "see if I shout at this old lady, she doesn't know we're doing it" - Ha HA (not)

OK, the first-name thing is the norm these days, I don't expect anyone to call me Mrs this or Auntie that, like I used to when we were little.
Now you say he was with his mates - think nothing of it, he was just bigging himself up in front of his mates by shouting your name out, knowing full well you wouldn't hear him. No reason for it at all, just a silly lad.

If it was just him on his own shouting you to say hello, then I wouldn't really see the problem.
But I think boxy has a point. I dare say he spotted you and told his mates that he knows you. He then shouted out to you out of some sort of bravado, and all his mates joined in.
I wouldn't worry any more about it. Just daft wee laddies. Irritating at the time though.
