Don't "Hon" me, Hon.

If you're significantly younger than me you have no business calling me "Hon".

Yeah sure, you're saying it over an intercom in the drive-thru of a Dunkin' Donuts and I am quite youthful (sounding. Some might describe me as "Juvenile", but not to my face), but after I've visited your establishment for my morning joe for the gazillionth time and we've exchanged pleasantries face to face, you can probably deduce by now that I was in high school when your mom and dad were doing the forbidden dance between the sheets (or in the back of a Ford Escort. Hey I don't judge).

Come talk to me when the hair on your head is a little more gray and the hair on your chin is a little more black. Bonus points if your girlie bits are stretched from the beauty and wonder of childbirth. Then I might even let you call me "Darling".

  7. My mom once got yelled at by another driver, "Nice signal, LADY!" and she took her cigarette out of her mouth long enough to yell back, "I'M NO LADY!"

    Proudest moment ever.

  10. I hate all the terms of endearment bandied about in such a way. I used to think "ma'am" was the worst. But I've grown into the term.
