Well, there was this French woman and her young daughter on a bus in Edinburgh...
I'd been out shopping, and I'm afraid I'd been a grumpy old bitch. I got on the bus, which was fairly full; not many seats to be had. Anyway, this woman and her daughter got up and offered me their seat.

Instead of being grateful, I'm afraid to say I offered them both a mouthful of abuse, harking on about how I'd fought in two world wars and paid taxes for them to have an education, therefore it was my right to sit on a bus. It was only when her daughter spoke French to me, in the middle of my tirade, that I realised what a totally grumpy old biddy I'd been. They got off before I could apologise.

So to that nice French lady and her articulate daughter, thank you. I didn't mean to be so so rude, but I'd had a bad day. My bunions were playing up, and to top it all, I'd got to Asda only to find that the price of butter had gone up. But you gave me a seat and saved my poor old trotters. Thank you; thank you so much both of you. I apologise for my rudeness.

Signed,

Mrs Brady (Old Lady).

Frankly, 'madam',
You people have taken a perfectly good word and rendered it unuseable. You might call yourselves 'gay' - I call you disgusting.

Yours,
Major Misunderstanding.
