Thoughts on being called "hon"
We just got a wrong number phone call. The guy was polite enough to say sorry, then hung up by saying, "thanks hon." I told Lebell, ending with, "not that he earned the right to call me hon, but he is older so . . . " Lebell said, "hmm, that's interesting, I think of hon as implying a friendliness between male customer and waitress." He doesn't see it as derogatory. I do, as I think it implies an intimacy that is not there.
Lebell went on to say that at the grocery store yesterday they called him by his first name, which bugged him as they didn't know him and didn't have that right. Funny, because when I shop and they address me as, "Mrs. Lebell," I wish they'd call me by my first name. We discussed be called "girl." What are your thoughts on hon? On being called Ms., miss, or Mrs.?
