Some people are just begging for custom forum titles.

runzwithsizorz: Darlin'

HeXen: Sweety a-hole

MartyMcFly3: Bud

highland145: "Not a problem!"

I'll cut you.


O.K., not really. Too messy and I have lots of bullets.

I find it much worse when young people say sir to me. Granted, I'm middle aged, but stuff like that never lets me forget it.

Other people have called me bud and it's not an issue. Just the way my one coworker says it irritates me, thats all. Like I said, more the person than the name.

 

[runzwithsizorz]

Ok, I gotcha. she's not of your class.

Wrong, she assumed a position not granted. "Class" standing, or age, We are all equal and due a modicum of respect. You sir, of all members should know this. My mothers plane had an s in it's id, The local tower, knowing it was her would say sugar on the radio instead of sierra, for depart, and approach. I think she kinda liked it. D:

Sir, you, sir, sound like a venerable aristocratic sir, from the 1870s, sir.

What I know is, when you make a weak rant about something so trivial you are asking to get teased at the very minimum. Consider yourself teased.

Hey.....cool it, pops!

Pops? Next thing you'll be on my lawn....

 

[John Connor]

Never been called any of that crap. It's usually sir. I have had a few woman call me honey. I bet in the south they call you sug. Like that character in King Of The Hill. LOL

 

[squirrel dog]

Sir or Mr . "They still call me Mr. Pips " don't sweat the small stuff . Go to enough funerals and you will begin to see it really doesn't matter . That , or take up astronomy , for a reality check on insignificance .

 

[FeuerFrei]

I have a problem with "hon." To me it's belittling because that's what moms call their kids. It's akin to calling me a child. Now if I hear the stranger calling everyone that, I take it in stride.
Also, "dear" is in the same vein.

 

[interchange]

It's a boundary. It suggests that the person may be willing to get closer to you than you'd like without your permission. It is, however, a culture-bound boundary so there is quite a bit of variability in the extent and situations in which it is relatively more agreeable to cross. Being sensitive to boundaries is not in itself a bad thing, although you're probably more sensitive to them in this case than the average Joe. Don't worry. I am too. My sensitivity to boundaries is highly productive as it allows me to recognize and be vigilant about maintaining a doctor-patient relationship and nothing else. Your sense of boundaries may allow you to avoid situations in which you could be exploited.

Run - You are obviously were raised in the south.

I personally am 50 years old and most times I hate to be called sir. Sometimes it is OK, but most times it bothers me.

Ditto. A lot of time it comes off as completely unnecessary. I feel as though someone just bounced a tennis ball off my head. It didn't do actual damage, but I didn't like it.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

I care not what others call me; I have doubtless called myself worse.

 

[Phoenix86]

It sounds like you need a drink. Let me get you one:

 

[RaistlinZ]

I'm with you, Slick.

We're older than that.

 

[Perknose]

We're older than that.

But with similar hair cuts.

Dang, you still need them? jelly

 

[DrDoug]

I honestly don't care what they call me because at my age it means I'm still alive.

Works for me.

 

[IronWing]

I used to have a forehead. Now, it's more like an eighthead.

Not really. But I still to the barber shop regularly . . . for the memories and the free mints.

I don't even get the shoulder massage anymore.

Old times are old.
