To ask if you hate being called hun?

[Roarlikeme]

Or lovely or something else?

YANBU - I don’t mind/I call people this myself

YABU - I hate it

I don’t mind love, lovely or pet. I find them quite endearing.

I just can’t stand hun/hon or babe/babes.

Doesn't bother me. I call everyone 'duck' though so.

And using the word chav says a lot about you... Oh dear.

I recently contacted a few tradesmen for quotes. I didn't choose the one that called me 'hun' in messages.

If it's someone I know I don't mind too much.

"Hon" sounds very Mitford sisters, hons and rebels!

Loathe it to be honest. I also don't like being called "mate".

I hate men calling me "Hun". There's a bloke in my work who does this constantly. Or he did before I told him to address me appropriately.
I don't mind women calling me it and have been known to let a "hun" slip myself, but I do mind when it's someone considerably younger than me. I wouldn't call someone significantly older than me that. It sounds weird I know, my mind is a weird place 🤷

I also hate men calling me "love" too. Particularly the young man in my local Co-Op who once called the man he served before me "Sir" throughout his transaction then proceeded to call me "love" throughout mine. Twat.

I hate it. Also a friend of mine has started excessively calling people "my sweet" 😡

I don't mind it, so long as it's just friendly, and neither leering (I would be a little more suspicious of such terms from a man than a woman) nor a cover for aggressiveness or sarcasm. I knew someone who used to include such terms of endearment in tellings-off - e.g. 'Look, darling, you're wasting my time'; and I really hated that. But for the most part, I have no problem with it.

I hate it, I have a name. I also hate guys.

I used to have a Manager who called all the younger women babe until someone asked "do you call me babe because you think I'm a pig?". He soon stopped .

I think this is the thing too, there’s been a lot of references to people being patronising or fake etc, but that’s not an issue of language choice, that’s tone. I wouldn’t like those type of people talking to me whether they called me hun or madam or fucknugget.

Hun is infuriating i always think people must be joking when they say it. Like being ironic.

For me I also hate "doll"

Helps me filter out the numpties in the same way that owning a Live Laugh Love wall plaque does.

This^

No one would dare!

I call my grown up kids 'hun'
as a term of endearment.
Don't call anyone else it.

Thank goodness it's not just me who thinks that!

I'm not keen on terms of endearment at all. No one I know uses them. If it's someone serving in a shop or similar,it's entirely impersonal and I just ignore it.

There are a couple of men who could probably call me anything they wanted, but so far it's only been "my lovely." And "darling", but that was just after I'd said my mother always advised calling men darling, as that way, you don't have to remember the names... (He very much does know my name, and my views on terms of endearment.)

I don't mind being called hun at all, in fact I think it's rather nice.
Better than being called twatface 😂
I'm definitely not a "hunner" though, as in I don't call people it myself.
Just not my style

I honestly don't mind! It's meant kindly (I presume) so I take it kindly.
