It’s definitely “my barber” and “my dealer” so is it “my” if they provide a personal service?
I was a tennis coach for a while, those that I coached pretty much always introduced or referred to me as "my coach ElGonzo blah blah blah...".
Never thought twice about it, but maybe that's down to my hard wired third world serf mentality and I should really have been outraged?
ElGonzo-
hard wired third world serf mentality
Odd that you added third world serf, but I’m guessing it’s idiosyncratic to your experience rather than a qualifier of serfs from the third world. Not having a go, just saying the first world has plenty of quasi-serfs just like the unaligned world aka the third world.
