Bless!!!!

[cleodog]

Does anyone else on here hate people saying Bless! Sounds so patronising to me.

[murraymints]

this is going to get very confusing

[Mamyalynne]

Depends greatly on context.

[Sqad]

I agree.......can't stand the word in the context that it is usually used (on AB).

[SlackAlice]

pmsl!!

[cleodog]

My nieces use it a lot. I wish they wouldn’t!

[Mamyalynne]

^ hate that though.

[murraymints]

bless you my child... 5 Hail Mary's and 2 Our Fathers !

[Mamyalynne]

In a sentence with relevance it can work well, as a one word meaningless blurt out - less attractive.

I'm sure I've been guilty of it a time or two.

[Tilly2]

Adding 'him' or 'her' makes all the difference.

[cleodog]

Don’t mind it said in that context murraymints even though I’m an atheist pagan sun worshipper!

[gness]

I changed my hairdresser when the one I had answered....Aww bless... to everything I said......x

[cleodog]

Yup exactly gness

[Mamyalynne]

'Awww' doesn't make it a sentence, agreed.

[Islay]

There are other words that get on my wick more!!

[cleodog]

Sorry everyone just needed a small rant x

[jno]

or "you", Tilly. Gesundheit.

[Tilly2]

Forgot that, Jno. Achoo!

[cleodog]

My friend hates it when she goes into a restaurant and somebody says can I help you guys? She has started turning round now and saying In case you haven’t noticed I am not a guy!?

[Tilly2]

I once had a really stroppy colleague who would always answer, 'Whatever' to something she was not happy with. It used to really irritate me.

"Enjoy" when being served with food is a little bit irritating. It`s my decision whether I enjoy something - it's not a command
