Well it looks like someone's got his cranky pants on today doesn't it. lol

lumberjim 04-20-2009 05:45 PM

i knew it was coming...at the end of the voicemail message.

i'll be glad to get back to you at my earliest convenience....have a blessed day.

I don't know if it was a subliminal memory from the last time i called her 6 months ago, or just the tone of voice she speaks in......but i knew it was coming.

She's a nutbar holy roller that I had to spend over an hour with signing her deal, and closing her on the warranty and gap.....and made nearly nothing for my effort. She selfishly read every document as though I had invented them all specifically for her and had surely hidden some clause in there which had her promising to have vigorous anal sex with all of the mechanics twice a week for the next 6 years. The whole time, I knew that she was looking at the words, and understanding nothing.....just appearing to read them...because she is a teacher and she was taught that you should always read every thing you sign no matter what. I don't know what the hell she wants from me but I've been playing phone tag with her all day trying to return her lousy call....and every time I have to hear that shit. blessed day. eat a dick

have a blessed dick

classicman 04-20-2009 05:49 PM

I had a sales rep that sent out a bulk email to 2000, yep two thousand prospects and clients that said " A Merry Christmas and blessed wish for the new year. I personally fielded at least a dozen people who were PISSED.

lumberjim 04-20-2009 06:26 PM

i have caller ID....i'm not answering when she calls back. I wanna see how long I can avoid her...while appearing to be trying to reach her.


ha....i just 'missed' her call.....

lumberjim 04-20-2009 06:27 PM

her message:

she has a meeting now....ha ha ha.....she'll try me again tomorrow...ha ha ha

it's SO funny!

bless these

Trilby 04-20-2009 06:52 PM

I HATE that, when people foist their 'blessed day' on me. (I just thought Jim was being his usual non-sequitor self up there, but NOW....)

I truly do; I am not being sarcastic. I want to punch their stupid face. It usually means they are the worst kind of (place religion *here*) that there is. They're usually judgmental fukkers.

I think the appropriate response would be "Shalom," or something - "the Goddess be with you", etc. :mad:

Beestie 04-20-2009 07:01 PM

Would someone kindly explain what the fuck a blessed day is exactly?

Seriously - what the hell is it? Get that dingbat on the phone and tell her Beestie wants to know exactly what in the flying fuck a blessed day is.

And it better make sense.

Don't make me channel George Carlin on her ass.

jinx 04-20-2009 07:26 PM

Sigh... Beestie, Beestie, Beestie.... I'll pray for you. But not for Jim and Brianna, they're obviously going to hell no matter what.

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.

classicman 04-20-2009 07:29 PM

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.

Shawnee123 04-21-2009 08:53 AM

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!"

Cloud 04-21-2009 09:58 AM

and wouldn't we all rather have a great Fucking day?

or, possibly, that thing with the vigorous anal sex, but I won't push it . . .

Queen of the Ryche 04-21-2009 12:49 PM

"Shine on you crazy diamond" and see what happens. I could start a new movement, or maybe a new religion.

I'd join.

To get out of jury duty, I end all of my replies with "as it is written in the Prophecy."

lumberjim 04-21-2009 01:08 PM

day two:

oh, look at that. I missed her call again.

this time, the message gives some indication about the nature of her need. She wants to ask me about refinancing her loan to get a lower monthly payment.

.....time goes by.....

I called her back, and she answered on the first ring.
..answered her questions.....told her i can't re fi her...she has to go do that on her own....


oh well.....that's that then.

Undertoad 04-21-2009 01:11 PM

In French, "blesser" (BLESS-say) means "to wound".

"Vous me blessez" (Voo meh BLESS-say) = You hurt me

ironic, non?

lumberjim 04-21-2009 01:17 PM

no....we speak English


no irony involved. just arrogance and stupidity trying to foist itself off as being intellectual.

Undertoad 04-21-2009 01:19 PM

so does it still qualify as a blessed day if she has to do it on her own? or does it now revert to a 'fuck-ed day' - ?

That's a great point. I mean you might presume that this saying is offered in a spirit of generosity. However, specifying that any one particular day should be blessed implies that at least some of the other days were NOT blessed. And, to my way of thinking, that kind of contradicts the concept of infinite grace and mercy. "Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God, except on those days that aren't blessed. Then you're just fucked all to hell."

Sundae 04-21-2009 03:32 PM

If she has blessings to bestow, perhaps she could bless me.

What's that?
I'm already blessed with beauty, brains and boobies?

You're right.
She can stick her spiritual sort of blessings up her blessed arse.

Trilby 04-21-2009 03:33 PM

I believe someone said "forgive 70 times unto 7" so that equal to 490 times to be forgiven. I probably ran out of forgiveness in my mid-twenties.

anyway - have a blessed 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.

Sweetie, if you were any more blessed with those things, you'd be required to start your own religion.

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".

Yeah, but somehow "go fuck yourself!" sounds more sincere than "have a blessed day!" Blessed by what, exactly? That persons vengeful god? Their sick sense of superiority?

Don't mind me, kids. I've got my cynical shoes on.

Oh, what color are they? Jade!

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.

Trilby 04-22-2009 03:12 PM

I am a cynical jade. The "blessed day" smacks of Christianity to me.

Call me what you will but I am nothing if not sincere when I curse you. (and, truly I say, I curse none)

I just don't want a certain diety's blessing...so shoot me. or hang me...or make me do the "if she weighs the same as a duck..." thing.

oh, I WISH i weighed the same as a duck....

eta: when jim uses 'cock' in a message, i know he REALLY means it. saying "have a blessed day" is like saying "have a good day!"

cliche, cliche, cliche, and LAZY. Like, "I'm all saved and good and going to heaven and shit coz I blessed everyone!"

yeah. some people don't NEED blessings. they need something else.

Shawnee123 04-22-2009 03:13 PM

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!"

Trilby 04-22-2009 03:20 PM

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!

Trilby 04-22-2009 03:21 PM

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.

shawnee--do NOT go soft on me.

keep the non-faith, chick.

kick their blessed ass.

Shawnee123 04-22-2009 03:38 PM

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:

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.

Shawnee123 04-22-2009 04:49 PM

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

DanaC 04-22-2009 06:33 PM

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.

classicman 04-22-2009 06:39 PM

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