If she says it again. It’s a girl 3 seats away from me on the bus. She says ‘love you’ after each of her phone calls. The last one ‘see you at yours…Love you’. Ffs. You’re going to see this ‘loved one’ soon.
I find it so cringeworthy.-people signing off their calls with a ‘love you’. Does it matter? I suppose not but it makes me uncomfortable when I hear it.
I mean doesn’t the constant use of it diminish it? I thought you were supposed to say ‘I love’ you on special occasions because you are expressing your most profound feeling for someone. So maybe at the climax of love-making you would say it. Or at a loved-one’s deathbed. Or a tearful goodbye at the railway station.
But not on a short bus ride when you’re going to see the person in a few minutes.
While we’re on the buses what is it with all this thanking the bus driver when we get off?
Each person as they get off ”Thank You’. ‘Thank you ‘Thank you’ ‘Thank you’. If I was the bus driver at the start of the journey I would make it clear ‘You do not have to thank me’.
You never thanked the bus driver when I was growing up in the 70s.
There is a kind of false politeness abroad.
I was interacting with what you would call a ‘soy boy’. Full of over the top apologies when he couldn’t find a book in the library. He even said ‘My bad’. Stop fucking apologising.
But that was good a grumpy old man in the local shop the other day. A young man simply walked passed but said ‘sorry’ to him. The old guy-‘what are you apologising for…you haven’t done anything to me’.
Can you be too polite?
Back to Love. I have male friends who text me and put an x at the end of it. For fuck’s sake. Don’t do that.
Yes we’ve all gone incredibly polite and loving.
I see I have lost a little focus here. Sorry Admin. Thank you so much for reading my Nom. (Feck off, you soft cunt. Love you forever – Day Admin xx)
