It's a bit passive-aggressive but I did get a giggle out of it.

It's an old Irish toast that I have given on birthdays, etc. on the Irish side of the family. There was no hidden meaning in those instances.

Given to you with your last check - I would assume she is telling you that she knows you don't like her. Big deal.

Here is my favorite:
Some Guinness was spilt on the barroom floor
When the pub was shut for the night.
When out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse
And stood in the pale moonlight.
He lapped up the frothy foam from the floor
Then back on his haunches he sat.
And all night long, you could hear that mouse roar,
"Bring on the feckin cat!"

^^^this.


Not a big deal. Guess my only thought is that she still has a bit of a sense of humor.

I'm jealous.

Most sour, disrespectful clients make you run around for that last check or just say, "F*** you."

You, on the other hand, got your check along with a pithy, if covertly venomous, toast. I would actually write her a 'thank you' note appreciating her kindness over the years.

You said it--life is too short.

She has issues; don't let them become yours. You will NEVER please everyone. Have a nice day, and move on, (to the next client).
