EW!
One of our clients just called my co-worker "hon." Let it be known that I hate it when strangers call me pet names, especially "sweetheart." If you are my relative, boyfriend, or good friend, you are welcome to call me whatever you want (with a few exceptions, of course). If you don’t know me, don’t call me "hon." It is patronizing and barf-inducing.
