I find it a bit patronising.

Brings back too many memories of my teachers, or being scolded by my parents. I cringe if a stranger calls me that.

A couple of years ago I went to the hospital for a routine check up after a very trivial op.

The nurse called my name ... then said .....

Come along young lady...... It was all I could do to NOT punch her fucking lights out.

These days I don't argue I satisfy myself with leaving them to their patronising moronic traits...

I tell myself they mean well and are trying to be nice.

All N.H.S hosps and drs are plastered with notices that say 'if you so much as look at one of us we will pounce and kill ...... but i never see a sign saying that they will address the public respectfully.

In all fairness, when dealing with hundreds of people a day, it must be tricky knowing what every individual deems as respectful. If you recognise someone is genuinely 'being nice', just smile and forgive

I'd not hesitate in teasing Queen Leviosa. Slipping in an age-difference related sentance. I see no harm in that and I doubt she would either.

I'm not being patronising, I'm being playful. An 'old man' parrie back would be a much loved response.

Years ago, healthcare professionals used to call me Mrs Smith (not my real name).

Now they call me Barbara (also not my real name).

When did they decide they should call us by our first names?

I don't call my gp or consultants by their first names.

It's a modern thing-creeping in over the last decade or so. I'd say American cos I blame them for everything and Britain is America's sheep.

I get letters from my car dealer, bank , netflix ..... they all call me Dear Penelope.... I do the same as you I go and and It runs along the lines of if they get familiar you will more easily do their bidding. Same in work, everyone is supposed to be a cuddly bunny.

I'd rather they didn't. Nine times out of ten I can ignore it. In fact the odds are probably greater. However when cornered I do spit back.

It can't always be perceived as a put down though .......most of the time I view it as their immaturity and social inadequacy.

I'd disagree sophie. I don't get offended by it. I don't like it. I think it's not appropriate but i'm not offended. Nor do I get hung up on it. But if a convo about it comes up .... I don't like it.

I've had guys call me gorgeous when I have no profile pic, they mean well but flattery (or attempted flattery) leaves me feeling awkward, some call me babe or sexy or hunni etc in first message. This is again cringey. Intimate words only really work for me when I feel a degree of intimacy with a person but my default comfort zone is always sarcasm

For appointments I'm happy to be called Mrs Thingummybob (my real name) until we have been introduced, and then we can use first names, IF I'm allowed to call them by their first names.

They don't always have name tags with their first names on, so I'll call them love.

A boy at our school called the French teacher Miss, as in yes Miss when she called his name.

She quickly pointed out she ceased to be a Miss 30 years ago.

Next time she read the register in the afternoon he replied ‘yes Mrs’, to much amusement of everyone. From then on he just called her Mrs.

Some folk worry way too much about things.

Get out there and live life a bit more.

"What I think is 'wrong' , 'unfair' I am not pulling up the precise word needed right now ....

Is when you state an objection the other party is unable to take it gracefully.

There then follows the demonising of the person that objected. As in ...'it's a term of endearment, i was being nice, god aren't you touchy, why let it get to you, where's your sense of humour, ooooo a feminist , bitch, nasty person , jesus i thought you'd like it...... yada yada yada....

How about , How would you prefer to be addressed?

you dont generally say how would you prefer to be addressed first.

eg;

you dont go in a shop and say "a mars bar please,how would you prefer to be addressed" !or "thankyou for your time -how would you prefer to be addressed"its not natural speech

Stop it. That whole scenario gave me the giggles.

I'm not talking about going to the shop for a mars bar.

That convo should go like this.

Mars bar please.

Thanks

Bye.

I don't go to the person behind the counter. Mars Bar please babe. Thanks darlin' Here's the money M'Lord. See ya young man.

However...... they invariably do use pet names. I'd never survive in an East End market.....

i want a mars bar now. ..(your highness) "

Oh no! I am undone. I liked that one. I'm fast becoming a hypocrite!

"Years ago, healthcare professionals used to call me Mrs Smith (not my real name).

Now they call me Barbara (also not my real name).

When did they decide they should call us by our first names?

I don't call my gp or consultants by their first names.

I hate being called by my last name when I go to hotels or hospitals etc. I always insist on my first name being used.

Alright bab?

I can never say it. Mzzzzzzzzz

Although going by this thread I think I’m just going to be rude and ignore people from now on. It’s safer.

I've had one that just starts, You old bag. That feels more honest, but still not an endearing way to start a conversation.

If it was from a friend I'd laugh.

All HCP’s should ask on first contact what you prefer to be called and record it so all the team can see it.

I refused to open my eyes following a GA years ago, the nurse was calling me by my full name, not what I’m known by, and I panicked because I wasn’t quite sure why my bloody mother was in recovery with me!

The other pet hate is when I introduce myself to someone with my preferred name and they then go on to shorten/lengthen it to suit themselves.
