    Does being addressed by 'terms of endearment' (Baby, sugar, sweety, honey, etc., etc.) from strangers bother you in any way?

    Yes, it can bother me.

    Not at all. I do it all the time. I call everybody 'love'.

    If anyone called me 'honey' it would be Flo the waitress in a Southern greasy spoon - and I wouldn't mind.

    Some kid in the barrio called me 'Papi' in passing. I found that a bit forward, but it fits.

    Not really. They normally don't mean any harm, and if they do I can definitely hear it in their tone--you know how some women like to stay sounding professional and nice and say "sweetie" before they start going the fuck off.

    Nah. I love it when it's someone I'm close to, but it doesn't bother me from a stranger.

    Not at all. There are much worse things people can do.

    It only bothers me if it's said in a cavalier or snide way.

    Not at all because I do it all the time. In fact, I got blasted on one forum for using "hon". I did not realize it does come off as condescending in print. So I don't intentionally do it.

    Not really, I have a bad habit of calling people 'babe' or 'sweetie' all the time.

    I had a guy working at the local AMC call me Doll when I bought a ticket to see 'The Thing'.
