Do you get annoyed when a co-worker calls you "hun" or "dear"?

Question

I'm annoyed this morning.

Answer 1

yeah, i hate it when someone my age or younger calls me hun or sweetie

Answer 2

I get so annoyed when Anyone calls me hun, dear,
sweetie or babe. Probably have a few more that
thoroughly fries my bacon. I correct most of them.
I tell them, "Only my husband calls me that, my
name is Tammy". Gets 'em every time! They stop too.

Answer 3

I do but I can't because when some call me that, I don't mind. People who know me and respect me and I know it's coming from them as a term of endearment.

Others, yes. Especially when they are self-proclaimed "enlightened" people. Enlightened, my fluffy bunny tail. If you don't know someone well or don't hang out with them, you don't go around calling them dear. "thanks, dear." "good to see you, dear."

I'm a rabbit, not a dear! ;)

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

I wish I had a co-worker to call me honey or dear ;o)

Answer 6

Oh, yes. There are a couple people who call me "kiddo" or something like that, and I'm always like "I have a REAL job, dude, and you're a TEMPORARY employee. I'm your superior. Piss me off enough and you could get canned". They think it's "cute" to do that, because they're old enough to be my parents. But, THEY AREN'T, and I'm not 5 years old anymore.

Answer 7

No, I like it. It sounds "right" to me though, if that makes sense. I'm used to it in other words. I say it too, but know now it's not something people like all the time, so I catch myself saying it far less than I would....

Answer 8

not unless they are talking down to me. if its a nice co-worker i think of it as a term of endearment:)

Answer 9

I'm a waitress they call me girlie all day long i actually forgot my real name!

Answer 10
