    I hate it too. I dunno if it's because it feels condescending or if it's just how the word sounds but yes. It annoys.

    Lol My honey calls me sweetie,baby, love and honey. We really don't call each other our real names. If he does call me my name i know he is mad.

    Isn't it short for honey and people just started saying hon instead, what's so bad about that?

    I actually call my husband "Hon" or "Honey" more than I use his name. For some, it's a term of endearment. For others, it's flirting. For still others, it's just how they talk. Ever been to a Waffle House? If you go to a WaHo in the south (GA, SC, NC, etc) and no one calls you Hon, leave.
    It's all in how and where it's said. There are guys who can call my Hon and it's perfectly fine. Others make my skin crawl.

    I like when other people say it but I find that it doesn't sound right coming out of my mouth. :/

    Yeah, no. I say "hon" all the time and it doesn't mean I am flirting with someone when I say it. It's no different than saying "sweetie" or something else. Lol.

    Don't ever visit Baltimore... Hon is actually a thing there.

    I absolutely hate it when people say, "Hon" to me, especially the server at a restaurant. After two or three times I politely ask them not to call me that. It's condescending, and they don't know me! I hear people from the East Coast say it more. I don't think it's that common here on the West Coast.

    I can't stand it. I have a FB acquaintance that I don't know very well who addresses me as "hon" every time she posts. Drives me nuts!

    Am I the only one who hates it when people say Hon? Like "Nice job Hon", or whatever. It just seems like this really cheesy attempt to be flirty and drives me crazy."
