WILF 47,253 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Before I moved, loads of people I knew were saying "oh, how do you think you will get on with not knowing anyone etc".......my reply was simple "I'm not worried because I will know everyone in 6 months" and I did! Spent my life dealing with people what with working on the market and one thing and another and it's part of my character to strike up a conversation with a friendly "hello, how are you......" Politeness costs precisely f**k all and it makes you feel better when you walk up to say a miserable looking shop assistant and leave them with a laugh and a smile on their face.......from then on they are always pleased to see you......it just makes life nicer. Likewise, if I say hello and someone wants to be grumpy I always say "blimey, your happy......" Or "please yourself.....".......it never stops me being me. I just couldn't live life any other way. These miserable c**ts who grunt at people break me, even in the checkout que......there's a few times in my life I have heard them grunting at shop assistants and couldn't help myself and had to say "what the f**k is wrong with you?....."..............it just does me in.

tatsblisters 9,987 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Tbh its none of the cashiers business. I get it often when i put shopping up. Cashiers saying " oh never tried that is it good or does that stuff work or if you buy 2 you get a third free" look just ring the stuff up and stop talking to me. I have to admit I am exactly the same I just want to get out of there as quick as I can with no chat. But then I see the wife who is happy to pass the time of day and all smiles and happy with them and I thought I need to be more like that so I do try and at least be polite. Some time they have to ask this and that and make you feel welcome so the fook off and leave me a alone stare don't make there day any easier Me as well fekin hate it when the cashier in the local co-op calls me darling and babbles on about allsorts of non important shit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Oh im polite enough when im being served. It dont make you a bad person cz you dont want to shoot the breeze with people you dont know. Its not America we live. British people have always had that trait. Some people from other countries think we are a bit rude and stand offish to strangers. I certainly dont see it that way. Like folk striking up conversations with you on the train or a waiting room as if you are close friends lol Not everyone is a wee chatter box but to say they are rude or miserable is totally unfair. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They say Londoners are the most unfriendly unwelcoming people in Britain yet it seems like its only me and Wilf who greet folk with a pleasant wink and a smile Oh im polite enough when im being served. It dont make you a bad person cz you dont want to shoot the breeze with people you dont know. Its not America we live. British people have always had that trait. Some people from other countries think we are a bit rude and stand offish to strangers. I certainly dont see it that way. Like folk striking up conversations with you on the train or a waiting room as if you are close friends lol Not everyone is a wee chatter box but to say they are rude or miserable is totally unfair. Yet your happy to shoot the breeze and strike up conversations with complete strangers on here .......in my experience theres more busybodies poking their nose into your life on here than there is in the real world you just have to deal with people correctly as individuals in my opinion but that dont mean you shut yourself off from folk does it.
