[quote=Anonymous]Usually it's part of a regional dialect or generational (or both) and it doesn't bother me and can even be nice. I'm not getting indignant about a waitress calling me "hun" when she takes my order, I'm not a lunatic. In very specific instances it's clearly meant to dress me down or diminish me, and I will pick up on that and be annoyed, but still "tolerate" it in the sense that I'm not going to throw a fit about being called sweetie. The most I might do is use the same or similar term towards them, with the same tone of voice. But even then -- why give them the satisfaction. People who use these terms maliciously likely do far worse things so I'm more likely to focus on that.[/quote]
