THAT is the reason he is saying such things.

Re: Bless You!

Having someone say "ah bless" as a response to some remark of mine makes me want to clock 'em one. It's the most patronising comment, as if I'm unbearably cute and dotty and worthy of tolerant amusement.

If someone calls you, "Hun" you could reply, "My friends call me Attila" and get 'em with yer battle axe!

Re: Bless You!

"Bless", "Hon" - none of these are as bad as the ubiquitous "Babe"

At one time, you only ever heard, 'Bless You' after you sneezed or if you were at church!
I bet some of those who say, 'Bless You' in their condescending way, are atheists and haven't been to church for years!
Have you noticed how 'Bless You' is creeping more and more into everyday conversation?
Maybe, you use it a lot yourself?!!

I find it an extremely irritating comment.

Re: Bless You!

Around the mid nineties, 'Bless' was said in a sort of jokey patronising way. If you got something wrong, someone would say 'Bless' inferring you were a bit senile.
