does it bother you when somebody calls you 'honey' over and over?

In some types of restaurants, I would not find that form of address out of place.  A diner, for instance, or some other kind of casual restaurant.  I would accept the form the same way I might accept a stranger addressing me as "pal," or "mac," or "buddy," or "dude."\n\nAt a finer dining establishment, I would find the term, "honey" WAY out of place.  I doubt that the type of restaurant I describe would even hire someone who uses that term.  One of my pet peeves is to hear a server at an expensive, fine dining establishment address a party as "you guys."  As in is everythig okay for you guys?"  I don't mind that at Denny's, but if I'm paying fifty bucks or more for a steak dinner, I would like to be "sir," if only for an hour or so.\n\nIf there were a form of address that annoyed me, for instance, if someone from work called me "big guy" repeatedly, (I am a heavy person) I would politely ask the person to stop.  This is not difficult.  I don't mind casual addresses, and I consider those that are sensitive to this as being snobbish.  But personal references to someone's appearance are out of place.  I wouldn't call a large breasted woman "Jugs" for example.\n\nSo, there are situstions where being over sensitive is even more out of place than informal addresses.  Other situations demand formal, proper addresses.

personally, it doesn't bother me, if you're taking a poll of answers.\n\nhowever, it can be VERY offensive to other people.  i would suggest trying a new saying on for size.  like "holy cow", or "oh my gosh", or "for pete's sake"\nor come up with your own...i used to say "oh my god" alot and then i went into management and realized i needed a new phrase, so i do "oh my gosh" or "oh my goodness", or if it's bad i say "crud bucket" instead of "sh it" or "hell".

I find that it's like the "N" word.  They use it all the time, but if you do, you are being "insensitive".

It's not a friend, it's a tool. If someone calls it their friend, they don't mean it literally.\n\nRawlyn.

No, I think that word it used much too loosely.  Too many people, male and female start spouting that word the minute they are twitterpated!  Personally I feel the same about the word friend.  People use that word for just about anyone they've ever had a casual conversation with.  A friend is someone you know intimately and stand behind through the years.  Sorry, I'm getting on my soap box and it's beyond what you asked.

A word that is repeated over and over.

People call themselves names for several different reasons. Very smart person! There is ALOT of wicked out there, Satan is trying to pull on us every day! People generally do this because of low self esteem, they don't feel any better about themselves, or they do it in front of someone hoping they will tell them different, to get some positive feedback about themselves, that the are truly worthy. If you have a friend like this , they are HIGH maintanence, but DON'T Give UP! Be strong for them if you can! You sound like a caring person and that is just what this person needs, it sounds like this person may have been put down alot in their lives, and this is what is left "after the dust settled". It's sad, but hold tight! YOU may be able to make a difference, point out their GOOD points and why, they may be an injured person, and I am speaking from experience from my heart. You cared enough to write in, God Bless You, you are a caring person, remember that and stick to this person, This made me cry, I am one of those people, I wish I had a friend like you!

Some people are just like that ya know...it's probably nothing personal...and she probably doesn't even realize how annoying she may sound to bring that up.It may sound hypocritical of her to say that when in fact she had/has her own obssesion.No biggie...just mention in a fun way..."well what about you & whatever his name is"...\njust tell her "so what" when she replies back "yeah but he's hot...and that show isn't all that"... or something like that.\nI don't think the situation is personal...just something for her to say...so say something back...that makes sense.

Young girls may call you sweety and honey just because they think it's cute, in my line of work I was trained to always ask someone how they would like to be addressed.  If I'm taking care of a elderly lady or gentleman they usually prefer that I call them by their first name as a friend would and I have found it difficult not to call them Mr. Or Mrs.\nTell them you would prefer if they would call you_____.

what about that guy who rolls his eyes and does not know it,  you been nice to him lately.\n\nuh oh I think I just rolled my eyes damn wish that would stop happening\n\nneedless to say not too good with the spreading of sugar\n\noh wait this is about you, well amy what I think is you have good intentions.  I don't think your nice to them becuz u r afraid of them, or to receive material gain from them, and sometimes Amy you are not even nice to them.  I have answered questions on rare occasions and seen your answer and if I were receiving it and was a sensitive person (trained to think like that) I would not percieve those few as nice.

I agree with you all the way girl! I hate it when I'm just asking a simple question and some beeyatch says something rude that has nothing to do with my question.

Do you mean honey? Rule #1 in marketing and sales: Make sure you spell your product name correctly.
