Re: Don't You Just Hate Being Called......

Really, Butterfly ? I find that surprising.
"Hon, babe or sweetie" reek of patronising - to me ! But then, so does "darling" and hardly 'formal'.

Each to their own and to me, no big deal. I'd just prefer it didn't happen.

I really hate it when complete strangers address me by my first name. That is certainly a transatlantic habit.

Re: Don't You Just Hate Being Called......

I'm not keen when someone says, 'my friend' when speaking to me. I associate that with our generation! It reminds me also, of what the Germans used to say to people in the war films!
Some people use 'my lovely' but l think that's more a Welsh one?

Do you cringe or don't you mind them?
Maybe, you can think of other things that make you cringe or drive you mad?!!
It is purely a state of mind on your part. If your favourite hot male film star popped in for a cup of tea you wouldn't mind one bit what casual name he used.

I think you're spot on there. It's only when someone she doesn't like calls her 'my friend' she cringes. Silly, isn't it?
