I HATE when random people call me "hon". Like a cashier, for example. I find it so demeaning. I understand that I'm in my late twenties and I probably look a couple years younger than that even, but being called "hon" makes me feel like I'm twelve.
Anybody with me?
Years ago, it used to annoy me now. Now I understand it is just way of speech for certain people and doesn't bother me at all any more.

Agree totally. I'm retired and hate when someone calls me "hon." It's demeaning.
haha. I was just coming here to start a thread asking how people like it when people tell them "Bless your heart". I can not stand that. Don't call me hon, sweetheart or tell me to bless my heart and I live in SC and have most of my life. I find it very demeaning.
Wow, who dug up this old thread? Great timing though. A guy I work with has been using what he calls "pet names" on me and I found it a bit uncomfortable so I did it back to him. Apparently he thinks it's a challenge, so game on! I think he's going to win though. There seems to be way more pet names for women than for men.

It should have been left it in the ground, the premise is silly. People simply look for stuff to crab about these days. If someone says it, it can be demeaning, but it's the tone and context that really matters here. If a cashier is an older woman and she calls me "hon" for me to get offended is completely juvenile.
Doesn't bother me in the least to be called "hon." I don't read anything into these kinds of things. I just try to get through my day.
However I could do without ever hearing the word "dude" again.
