women call other women ‘babe, hon, darling etc’
A work colleague who is making the days drag is constantly calling us pet names and it’s driving me crazy
Family and close friends fine but someone you’ve just met?
AIBU to seethe in anger whenever she calls me babe and sugar

YANBU. It annoys me too. But I do often call close friends "darling" at times

Smile and think of something random in your head up call her - pudding, scalpel, fartface, ratty, flange. Obviously not aloud!

Or just reply 'yes, flipper?' every time she says something irritating Grin
