I had five questions…in no order.
This makes me feel better. It’s just I seem to see it be said to men more. Apparently if she feels the need to call you out on how you are towards her, she does, and she didn’t, so…
Yes, I wouldn’t say women don’t say it here, but I think it’s majority male, and this woman is blatantly MtF.
I recently said “thanks mate” to a blatant MtF person that works for the same organisation as I do. I probably very visibly shit a brick and thought “not your best choice of words”. If it’s obvious, I will use gendered words, if someone has pronouns or something to make it obvious how they want to be referred to, I’ll use them. If it’s not obvious, and they have nothing to indicate how they want to be referred to, I’ll just be polite.
Mistakes happen, be polite and apologise and I reckon you’ll be fine.
It helped that numerous “he’s tight fisted” type comments and insults had been made in the same conversation, before that was said.
No, not Irish.
What did you think it meant?
I did have to think about it like, context helped.
I’ve heard people who wait tables make a lot of money. When I have said previously that people who wait tables should have a minimum wage, people who wait tables have got quite angry.
I’m being sarcastic.
Everyone should just become a shareholder, we will all be rich then…
“Cost of living”. Sure people will start getting inflation beating payrises soon.
You sound like a man with experience.
Fuck knows. I’m quite good at taking the piss though.
