I know that my ranting and raving should only be for Tuesday's posts, but I just need to get this out there...I am a (almost) 26 year old married woman. I own my own home, my own car, and I have a step-child that my husband and I help to fund and raise. I have more responsibilities on my plate than most 40 year olds. So, random people, stop calling me "sweetie" or "dear." It's patronizing and annoying.
Oh come on, you know what I'm talking about. You decide to be kind and hold open the door for Ms. Professional, jugging her coffee, laptop, and $300 briefcase.
"Oh, thank you dear (sweetie) (honey) (sweetness), but I'm going through the other door."
I'm sorry, what? I KNOW that you just didn't go there with me. Yeah, I know that I look like I'm not a day over 19, except for in my butt, but show a little respect for me as a human being. Don't be patronizing. All you have to say is..."thanks, I'm using this door." No harm, no foul. And no getting my hackles raised and causing me to be irritated before I have my first cup of java.
And no one, and I do mean NO ONE needs to call me "honey" except for my mama. Even my husband doesn't call me that. I know we live in the South and I can handle the "sweetie" thing from Waffle House waitresses. But not from anyone else. Just take note, kay?
