Babe, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I know it's not important in the grand scheme of things, but seriously...

No. I’d be amused.

AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson · 12/04/2019 14:03

I get it. I had a flyer through from another clothing company that addressed me as Babe. It just made me cringe. I’m 36 FFS.

PutyourtoponTrevor · 12/04/2019 14:03

It a bit bleurghhhhh but it doesn't offend me

beelover · 12/04/2019 14:05

I am nearly 63, I would love someone to address me as babe Grin

PositiveVibez · 12/04/2019 14:05

Cringey in the 'hun' kind of way, but not offensive

crosser62 · 12/04/2019 14:06

No I wouldn’t be offended at all but then people can get offended by a crumb on a shit these days.

Kel801 · 12/04/2019 14:07

Not at all. Maybe it’s a bit cringy (is that a word) but hardly feels worth being offended over.

churchthecat · 12/04/2019 14:07

Ugh

Bluntness100 · 12/04/2019 14:08

No this wouldn't offend me.

Listen, there's a woman on another thread who has her arse in her hands because thr school gave her kid an Easter egg. Why not hook up with her and the two of you can sit and happily find random innocuous shit to be offended by together?

outpinked · 12/04/2019 14:09

Nah, I don’t adhere to the offended culture. They’re using it in the same way some people use hun, it’s really not offensive.

Redglitter · 12/04/2019 14:09

Nope not in the least offended. Sometimes I think people look at ways to be offended

Kel801 · 12/04/2019 14:10

@Bluntness100 I just laughed so hard a bit of food fly out my nose

Kel801 · 12/04/2019 14:10

** flew

Aquamarine1029 · 12/04/2019 14:11

Why would that offend anyone? It's stupid, but to go so far as saying you're offended is way over the top.

pepsirolla · 12/04/2019 14:12

Not offended but just Hmm bit of an assumption. Do men never order from them or would theirs be addressed mate?
Reminds me of how so many food items address me as their friend too.... "Shake me before you drink me.. I'm yummy...or best before your friends nick me!" Confused

Strugglingtodomybest · 12/04/2019 14:13

As others had said, it's cringey but not offensive.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 12/04/2019 14:14

@Bluntness100

You win comment of the month for that Grin

NoSauce · 12/04/2019 14:15

People take offence to bloody everything these days. It must be exhausting for them.

It’s naff for sure but it doesn’t offend me.

notacooldad · 12/04/2019 14:17

Would I be heck be offended.
Misguided is a brand that is generally for a young female demographic. It's how many of that group address each other.
It's just being on the same 'wavelrngth' as their target consumers.
I seriously havent got a problem and save my angst for important issues.

BarrenFieldofFucks · 12/04/2019 14:17

Not offended, but cringe.

SrSteveOskowski · 12/04/2019 14:19

No. I only get offended over things that are actually worth getting offended over Hmm

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 12/04/2019 14:21

Racism offends me. Jacob Rees-Mogg offends me. This is nothing.

Bluntness100 · 12/04/2019 14:24

Why thank you both, the world has clearly gone mad today 🤣

LillithsFamiliar · 12/04/2019 14:25

Not offended. I'd think I might not be their target audience though Grin

BigFatGoalie · 12/04/2019 14:28

Not offended. My
And happy to get 10% off Grin
