  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

I hate being called 'Hun' by a store clerk

I consider y'all somewhat a term of endearment, and I do use it sometimes, even though I don't live in the region that uses it.

I once knew somebody [since died from lung cancer] who used to go all BALLISTIC if somebody called him "sir" in public.
 
Down here in the south, that's not "familiar" at all. It's a speech mannerism that can mean a lot of things depending on context and tone, but it's not an endearment, and it's not personal.

Way up there with the Mounties and moose, who knows, maybe she's hot for your cock?

She should stop if you've asked her to stop though.
 
y'all as a term of endearment? See that's new for me - y'all.
 
Wow really you have issues. People at work always call me honey hun touch my shoulders and stuff.
 
This is really disrespectful and they should train themselves out of it. You don't get to call women "babe" or "toots" and you don't get to call men "hun" unless you're in the deep South of the US. In Canada there's really no excuse for it.

And I only came onto this thread to tell you she wasn't calling you "Hun" but "hon," short for "honey." But you knew that.

I really look Irish, but if someone called me Hun I'd be MAJORLY offended on behalf of my German ancestors who came here after WWI but before WWII.

ETA: Correction: after the CIVIL WAR but before WWI. So none of my ancestors owned African slaves (though they probably DID own Saxon slaves 2500 years ago or so), nor did any of them fight for the Kaiser.
 
Don't worry GSDX I get you... if it is a place you go to on the regular then it isn't too much to ask to respect your wishes.
 
When I was a kid, my family used to camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains pretty regularly. One time, when my baby brother was just a few years old, we stopped for breakfast at a truck stop. My baby brother loved that the waitress called him Hon. Until, that is, he heard her address other patrons in the same way. He got terribly jealous and started crying.

As for me, I never call people Hon.

I prefer Darlin'.
 
I work in a supermarket and I get customers calling me that all the time.

I get 'hun', 'sweetie', 'love', 'darl'.... dunno why but it really annoys me. Especially when I'm wearing a name tag which in 4 easy to read letters spells out my name.

I like being called Hun, but it really is a stupid thing to get annoyed about.

And you expect her to remember you as the asshole who tells her not to call him hun. :rolleyes: You need a little more adversity in your life to put things in perspective.

If you knew anything at all about gsdx's life and current situation, you would be completely mortified to have said such a thing to him. He's endured adversity that would crush you like a bug.

In order not to be a complete asshole, you really should consider apologizing. I assume you didn't actually know anything about it and your statement was made in ignorance rather than coming out of willful assholism.

There is a checkout clerk at FreshCo who calls everyone 'Hun' or 'Honey'. I don't like her calling me that, and I've asked her several times to stop. She apologises, but that's as far as it goes. She doesn't get beyond the short-term memory stage.

I avoid her whenever possible, but there are times, especially in the mornings, that there is no choice.

I know she's just trying to be personable, but 'Hun' is just a bit too familiar.

That is brave to ask someone to stop several times for such a harmless word.
What is it that the word "Hun" annoyed you so much?

Maybe their eyes are blurry ...
 
I don't like familiarity when it's coming from someone younger then me, but when it's someone who could be my father or mother (age wise) I find it rather charming... There's this charming little old lady in her early seventies that work as a waitress in restaurant near my place, and every time I go there it's: "what will it be today dear?" and I don't mind it!
