why do people say "myself" when they mean "me" and yourself when they mean "you"? I've been noticing it more and more lately and it annoys me greatly. Just been on the phone with the insurance company "you're talking to myself, david today"
Also while i'm on the subject why do people say "each to their own" IT'S WRONG!
I have no idea why these things annoy me, they just do
"have a nice day" and when you get your food the waiter(ess) says" enjoy", what the hell do they think i ordered it for , look at it , of course i intend to enjoy it, thats why i asked for it. Thats 2 of my gripes , i do feel better now,
I like it when a waitress strips off her clothes and then offers herself to me on a plate. That is something I really would enjoy although it does not happen much in this country.
What is wrong with a waitress saying "Enjoy"? It is meant well.
I couldn't agree more, bednobs. It seems to me that the use of the reflexive pronouns is, bizarrely, considered to be somehow more correct or professional.
whenever you feel annoyed bednob just take you, yourself and u and say "don't let the bar stewards grind me, myself and I down" and you will feel SO much better !
I think it sounds more professional to say "myself" rather than "me". I think it`s just the way the business trend is. At least you`re not in the US where they say "she" and "he". That can be constued as quite rude.
