Do you laugh at "politically incorrect" things? I do and I can't help it (sorry - mea culpa). Perhaps it is my generation, I don't know .
However I wasn't laughing recently ...
hubs was telling me that he held a door open for a female collegue and her response as she walked through the door was "dont patronise me you $%^£%^¬". His response was "well I'll just slam the door in your face next time shall I?" at which point she let rip with a verbal onslaught against him.
I can understand why he said what he did.
He thought he was being an "old fashioned gentleman" She obviously thought otherwise!
Personnally, I just think she was being rude and ignorant, but maybe I'm wrong?
It seems that you have to watch everything you do and say these days for fear of causing offence.
