Last Sunday, I went to a popular donut shop. It was a father's day and when I entered the shop, one of the crew greeted me with " Happy Father's day to your husband!".
What bugs me(yes, until now) is that I don't have a husband. maybe I look like I have one, it's just a wrong assumtions Whatever reasons he may have, I think it was still impolite for him to assume anything. He could have said Happy Father’s Day to my father instead. Not all women may have a husband but all of us definitely have a father.

I do not have children even though I certainly am old enough to be a mother. Many people (who did not know me) went out of their way to say Happy Mother's Day to me. I thought it was very sweet. I just said thank you and smiled.

Assumptions, via its nature, can in easy terms be considered desirable in the event that they are established (subsequently starting to be a actuality particularly than an assumption). logic provides theories that could or won't be desirable. in case you could ascertain any (or all) of those six then you definitely can separate the assumptions from the established actuality. those you established are meant to be the real solutions. in case you won't be able to ascertain any then all you have are theories approximately assumptions. yet God, in accordance to all that has been written approximately him from around the globe, seems to be an somewhat distinctive "guy" so no person rather knows. yet extremely faith, such because of the fact the Catholic faith, gave an answer on your question of their own words, which kinda works. they are asserting that in case you have faith then actually you will continually be waiting to %. which ones are top and act on it (meaning that the two they don't be attentive to what the hell they are talking approximately or they are suggesting that there isn't any top answer interior the way that we define top answer).

i don't know why you would even make a statement like this. why does he feel obligated to wish a third party (without even knowing if that third party exists) a happy father's day. it's like a random stranger wishing your aunt a merry christmas. the only thing i can think of is that maybe he was very excited about the holiday. or maybe he thought he recognized you as part of a family unit that had been in the shop before.

He was just getting into the spirit of Father's day-nothing to be really touchy about. Smile and forget it!

What a weird thing to say to a customer, but still he was friendly, but misguided. Maybe he just became a dad and is over-exuberant on the subject.

Touchy subject here.....this could be a landmine on my part. Was this crew-member of a different nationality?
If that isn't the case, is he about your age? You answer thse for me and I can give you some help. If not, then he was in error. Why condemn him? Did it hurt you? Are you bleeding? Maybe you are a wee bit touchy on this subject? Answer my questions, please.

Ya, he was probably trying to figure out if you're married.
Pretty easy one. He was hoping you would say, 'I'm not
married.' He's on the prowl in his own awkward kind of way.

Maybe the last customer burst into tears and said "Dad's dead" Or something
