Don't call me "Baby."

#1 Pet Peeve

Men who call me baby, honey, sweetie, darling, or lady.

It's not an endearment, you don't f*%king know me.

It's also not a compliment.

And finally, it's not a good way to get my attention. In fact, if you want me to reply, I suggest you never use any of the above words.

A guy came in my store tonight and screamed "darling" to me across the room. I ignored him. He screamed louder and I gave him the following speech:

"My name is not darling. You may call me "Miss" or "Ms." or even "Ma'am." You can call me by my given name, which I'm not inclined to give you. You can say excuse me. But you will not call me darling if you want me to respond. I have more intelligence, education, and money that you ever will--I suggest you treat me with a little more respect."

He then threatened to be outside waiting for me when I closed the store.

Obviously I got home okay. But consider this, I assert myself and he threatens my safety. If I see him again I'm going to kick his ass and then drag it to the police station.

No one f&^ks with me and likewise, no one calls me darling.
