Don't Call Me Baby

[powerboy]

When I was in elementary school I once called my teacher Mom by accident.

I done that also.

Grandma is constantly calling me by the wrong name. Every now and then, she calls me by my uncle's name...and I'm a bit insulted. Why? Well, he's an asshole

Mine does the same thing

Don't feel bad guys. I've been called ma'am since before I was 20. "Chick" "Baby" and "Toots" are on my no-no list, but the worst of all: Josh's Old Lady. I'm sorry, what was that? I'm no one's "Old Lady." That is rude and demeaning, I HATE that term. I'd much rather be called many other things than old lady, to include: Property of Josh, woman, lady, ma'am, bitch, c*nt, and darlin'.

But working around and with bikers on occasion.....the old standby is Josh's Old Lady. So once its made itself obvious that they'll wind up referring to me as old lady if they can't retain my name, I came up with a shocker to make sure they remember exactly who I am.

"Hi, I'm C*ntwart. Its so nice to meet you."



Problem solved. Boyfriend freaked though, but that's how strongly I feel about it, I'd much rather be called a horrid name like that than be referred to as someone's "Old Lady."

I suspect, at my age, I will never be referred to as 'Baby' again.

"Hey, baby. Are those space pants?"

/does this to a girlfriend all the time, cause bad pick-up lines make her laugh

At the store I used to work at we got mostly senior citizens, so I'm used to the honey, sweety and what-not. I always drew the line at baby, sugar (Depends. usually it was by old men trying to look down my shirt... ><) and doll. Every time I'd give the person a "look" and they'd get sheepish.

When it came to "mom," I used to call my supervisor that ^__^ Also, depending on how often I spent at a person's house, I'd end up calling their mother "mom," or in the case of my neighbor who makes me food, "mommy!"

and finally, with my grandma, she would pass the whole immediate family before getting to me, cutting off mid-name when she knew she had it wrong. "Liz-Muri-Fran-Mike-Suz-SHARON!" She did that for everyone.

My whole family does this. Mom would even get the dog's name in there sometimes. You could always tell if she was upset by how many relatives she would go through before she got to you. She's yell for me but start with her siblings, then, my dad, and it would just go from there. Occasionally, it'd end without a name and you just get a 'YOU!" and that was when it was time to be in another state.

I'm starting to do that with my son and my dog, because both of their names starts with an S and I always seem to be yelling at one of them to get down from somewhere.

I got "hunny" today... several times. At first I thought it was a mistake.. but I realized it wasn't when he tried to cut me off .."Hunny.. hunny.. no no.. listen.."

I had to keep repeating myself ... "My name is xxxx, Sir."

she's 90, and with 10 grandkids, it's sometimes difficult to keep us all straight

Imagine my stepdad's mom now. 14 kids, each had about 2 kids (some have 4) and half of these kids had 2 kids...

Yow.
