Pardin

[weecalf]

Don't you just hate it when people don't listen or pretent not to have heard you and say pardin not pardon .When it happens to me I just say something different to what I first said and as far away from the said topic as possible..like if I said "Doing any thing nice for Christmas"?.After pardon I would say " I was just saying it's cold in the Alps what the price of gas .bet more of you have no problem with pardin at all .

Have you considered that they may not have actually heard you? Saying something completely different to what you originally asked them seems ridiculous and a total waste of time imo but if it makes you happy...

"Can I tickle your *** with a feather".........I said, "We having nasty weather".

If you're posh you say 'what', not pardon...apparently...I'm not posh.

you want people to make sure they say parDON? Strange.

[janbee]

Eh? What? SPEAK UP !!!

[Retrochic]

What are you wanting them to say if they have not heard you the first time?To ignore someone when they have been polite enough to say 'Pardon'? is ignorant. They may have difficulty in hearing, or -shock horror -you may be hard to understand because you don't enunciate your words.

I got the impression that weecalf was referring to the pronounciation.

'I got the impression that weecalf was referring to the pronunciation.'
Well that makes it even worse, taking the mickey out of someones accent ParDUN, ParDIN,parDON who cares? at least they are making an effort to be polite.

This question, and the answers, remind me of why I love chatter bank... !!

With that attitude I would turn my hearing aid off when addressed by weecalf.
It's called "cockin a deaf un" where I come from.

I had a sobering wake up call a few months ago. I like my walks in the country and one day passed a lady, I smiled and said hello -she was doing something with her dog and completely ignored me -blanked me. I thought 'snotty cow' and carried on. When I got back to the car park she was putting her dog in the boot and then came over -from how she spoke she was obviously profoundly deaf then I saw her two large hearing aids. -she asked if I had any paracetamol as she had a thumping headache -she was a lovely lady and I felt very guilty about making assumptions.

[gness]

I hate that one, Sandy.....because the naughty in me always want to say....

.....Yes please!.....☺
