I know, it’s confusing. But here’s my guide to what beauty PRs really mean in a simple “They say: They Mean” format.
“Thank you for replying.” “You never normally reply to anything.”
“Do let us know if there is anything we can help with.” “Please never email us again.”
Similar to this
“We’re holding an exclusive event.” “We’re desperate and inviting anyone.”
“We’re really excited.” “The client has told us to build excitement.”
“We’re sorry you feel you haven’t been updated.” “We’re totally trying to shake you off our send-out list.”
“We’re wondering if you received our latest product?” “We are checking Ebay right now.”
“Thanks so much for posting about our product; however, there is one tiny thing that needs rectifying… “ “You incompetent blogger b*stard.”
“Our client was wondering if you would kindly add a link to their site.” “You’ve got free product, now you have to sell it for him, too.”
“Our client LOVES your site…”. “Our client has never heard of your site.”
“There’s a MASSIVE wait-list for this product.” “There is no wait-list.”
“This range was tested in space!” “We wish it had never come back to earth.”
“The products are all hand-made!”. “An imbecile and a Magimix could throw this stuff together.”

oh lady your so spot on we are making this an Blogger Bitch post and your a Blogger Bitch …..
Hahaha, love this a lot! We all know what it’s like when you have to type something other than what you’re really thinking! 😉 xx
Laughed all the way through. LOVE IT!!!
*snort* Excellent!
Ha, glad I’m not the only one that wonders what they really mean!
LOL I have one:
“I’ll see what I can do.” “I’m going to pretend this conversation never happened.”
You brightened up my day with this!
“Hi Blogger, I absolutely LOVE your blog”…just not enough to actually look at it and find out what your name is…
Brilliant post! xx
haha love this!
Or…
“We’re doing a launch and everyone who’s anyone will be there” meaning “the only people there will be Nikki Grahame and Lizzie Cundy”
That’ll be good for the brand then….
Truer words were never spoken…..laughed myself silly through it all!!
My own personal favourite and one that I was on the receiving end of recently: “Am sooooo sorry! Your email ended up in my spam folder” = “Saw your email but you’re not GQ so f**k off!”
