Assuming that the woman is not a hypocrite, believes in someone/something with the power to bless, and wants you to have this blessing, I can't see why anyone would be offended.

Is it that it comes in a religious context? Can't you accept it in the spirit it is given? Should anyone here be offended when Jim uses 'cock' in a message? Doesn't he expect us to take it in the spirit it was intended?

I don't understand all this anger over something that seems well-intentioned.

My MIL leaves long, rambling, slowly spoken incoherent gibberish involving blessed nouns, adverbs, and adjectives. And she pronounces her Rs like Ws "Bwed" for bread.

I actually have no idea what her messages are about anymore, I just skip them and tell my wife.

Oh jim, dear jim - just send her an email with a link to the "fuck you" thread. that or spam rick roll her a couple dozen times. That outta do it.

This is pretty funny. We have a lot of people around here say it. I see it more at work than anywhere else. I think I am going to start to tell people "Shine on you crazy diamond" and see what happens. I could start a new movement, or maybe a new religion.

I've been hearing 'have a blessed day' a lot lately here, too. I thought it was the, uh, culture change.

I wish, just once, a student would end our conversation with "you've been very helpful. Have a great fucking day!"

You should come and work over here. No one says have a blessed day. lol They might not tell you to have a great day, but you're almost certain to get a 'fuck' in there somewhere.

Elspode · 04-21-2009, 05:57 PM

Would you have felt better, LJ, if she'd said "Blessed be"?

At least you'd have known she was a Pagan. Of course, Pagans virtually never say anything like that to someone unless they know them to be Pagan.

Pagans are the worst proselytizers on the planet. This is probably due to the fact that we don't get J&C Salvation Stamps with each blessing.

I guess the issue I have with it is the obvious assumption that it's acceptable for her to dump her religiosity in my(everyone's) lap on her business voice-mail message. And the rest of the message sounds as though she is either aping other professional sounding messages she's heard, or she's reading it out of a handbook of some sort. And the whole time you can hear it building....to that.......have a blessed day bit.

I'm fucking tempted to post her phone number so you can hear it yourself.

PM me. damn.

Elspode · 04-21-2009, 09:33 PM

Oh, hey, I hate that shit, too. I wasn't disagreeing with you at all.

The best thought I can come up with in these cases is something like, "At least she didn't tell me to go fuck myself".
