I don't really mind it. I said once that I never understood people who would get mad if someone told them to "have a nice day." They'd say "don't tell ME what kind of day to have!" It's just someone being polite, in their way. A little more "nice" never hurt anyone. Also, I think in jim's situation, she's annoying in WAY more ways than that, "blessed" is just the topper.

However, as I said, I just wish someone would tell me to "have a fucking awesome damn day, dude!"

shawnee- your brain has obviously been rattled by too many shiny bracelets that tinkle/tinkle/tinkle in the office sprinkle.

and have a fucking awesome fucking fuck fuck day! DUDE!

PS - i WILL find the blessed cat who is using a non-authorized area for litter and then BLESS said cat all the way to Philly - so mote it be.

:lol: I don't doubt that! It's madness! Oh, and guys, secure your change in your pockets: I don't want to visualize what it's clanging up against.

shawnee--do NOT go soft on me.

keep the non-faith, chick.

kick their blessed ass.

I think next time, after they have told me to get blessed, I will start screaming as loud as I can "FUCKKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUU....HAVE A FUCK-ED DAY YA FUCKING FREAK."

Then I'll laugh, and the lady on the phone will laugh, and my office mates will laugh, and the director will laugh, and campus police will laugh, we'll all just laugh and laugh. :lol:

Philly?? Wait, what did we ever do to you??

She just knows that we're all blessed to live in this area.

I agree - probably a Christian.

What I'm hearing in the rest of that is - "She is a Christian and therefore a hypocrite."

I have prayed several times for your sake, Bri. Does that make me a hypocrite too?

... and me?

When people say things like that I chalk it up to a communication style and move on. I have several "Born again" clients who repeatedly ask me about being saved and all that. I politely shrug it off and go about gently changing the subject. To each his own and all.

You reminded me of this exchange from The Good Girl:

Corny: You got any interest in reading the Bible?
Justine: I have my own, you know, beliefs.
Corny: Well, we don't preach fire and brimstone. 10 Commandments, gotta live by those. Other than the usual ways, we're not interested in scaring people. We're about loving Jesus.
Justine: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I kind of like my nights to myself.
Corny: Well, maybe you'll have night after night of eternal hellfire all to yourself. Just kidding you. Drive safe. Bye-bye

I must admit, I'm with Dar on this one. Either it's just something she says in which case maybe after a bit it grates a little...but not exactly maddening. Maybe she actually means it...in which case that's quite a nice thing to wish on you. I know it's an awful assumption on her part, that you would relate to 'blessings' the way she does, but there are worse crimes than not seeing the world the way others do.

She doesn't say who is doing the blessing... give her points for that at least.

maybe we should pray that one day you'll be blessed with a functional sense of humor, you hater cock.

What are you on about?
