Colleague came to my desk and said, “do you not answer emails anymore? Because I’ve emailed you four times asking you to come to my desk.”

I replied, “honey, if I don’t have time to answer an email, I definitely don’t have time to walk over to your desk.”

AIBU or was that fair?

Cheeky cow! Her, not you. Who emails to ask that?! Glad she finally got off her arse and walked to your desk.

Perfect. You're a colleague not a servant.

I wouldn't be impressed if a colleague called me 'Honey'!
