Have you ever had something happen that normally hits you the wrong way and makes you bristle up but when it happens this time it doesn’t barely register…..
To explain……something you may or may not know about me is that since I was young (like 4 or 5 years old) normally that hits me wrong is when someone who I don’t know calls me sweetie, darlin’ or hun…..mind you I don’t his&spat to the person directly but after they leave or I leave them I start hissing & spatting either to whom I’m with (as Lover can attest to) or just to the universe if I am alone…..and to answer your question NO to me it doesn’t matter the sex of the person saying such things be they Male or be they Female (or in current reality…neutral) I don’t care…..if I don’t know you then stick to Miss, Ma’m or just nothing else. I can only think of maybe 3 or 4 people so far in my life who I didn’t know who started off calling me Darlin’ or sweetheart or sweetie or hun that did not immediately hissed me off.
Today tho at lunch I was at a local-chain restaurant and my server after the introduction & taking of my lunch order started called me the following when asking the usual questions can I get you more iced tea….<food items chain specific> are you all done…any boxes….and this server didn’t single me out the other 2tables in this section got the same treatment (so not just me which would open a whole nother door I prefer to leave alone & hide from….)
delivering my tea “okay sister here is your….” the other ones were dearheart, sweetheart, sweets, my dear, dear one, lovely, beautiful, sweetie, girlfriend …. I’ve lost track of all of mine….
BUT it didn’t hiss me off infact it took me to the middle of my meal to realize hey this isn’t hissing me off I wonder why. 🙃
Now yes while I’ve been to this restaurant and yes had this same server on other trips I don’t remember the names before because I’m sure I would have been ruffled as I am usually here with Lover, and this server is one that has never really made an acquaintance or friend leap as I have made with some servers in the past so I can’t attribute the names to that 🤷🏻♀️maybe just having an awesome day.
Although for lunch they are SUPER busy and I didn’t expect it to be busy at all. So maybe a coping mechanism for being so busy one can barely think or breathe between tables being sat in your section.
Just an interesting thing that happened to me and I decided to share…..carry on with your day.
