I'm okay with pet names. But if you're calling me a pet name ALL THE TIME, then it gets annoying. ALSO if you don't know my name, you DO NOT have permission to call me pet names. It's really irritating.
OKAY: Hey, Donyelle, do you mind helping me bring the yoga mats to the spinning studio ? Alright, sweetie, just put them right there in the corner. Thanks hun !
NOT OKAY: Sweetie, do you mind helping me carry the yoga mats to the spinning studio ? Thanks hunny, right there is fine.
I once had an assistant teacher in 5th grade who RARELY called us by our names. All we heard from her mouth is hunny and sweetie. 2nd semester I called her out and it took her a while to stop the habit.
OH AND BOYS ! STOP CALLING ME BABY ! I'M NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND !

I guess that is the difference between living up north and living in the south Hun! It's a term of endearment here and much appreciated.
Nothing like a guy with a little Southern charm :flowerforyou:0 -

Okay, there's always a first. But I leave you with a bigger question to ponder:0 -

More importantly, what if we just don't care?0 -

Living up north, I considered "ma'am" and "honey" and "sweetie" total insults. Once I moved down south, I realized "welp, better get used to it". Now it doesn't bother me. I guess it's all in the perspective0 -

Would it be on, or off?0 -
Whoa... Didn't we just do this??0

they're being polite because they don't know your name and don't want to shout "hey lady" at you.
