To be revered too as Missy

[CleaningAngel]

The other day someone I know referred to me as 'missy' as in she said hello missy.
I found it rude and condescending, iam.a 52 year old adult women. Not a stroppy teenager. I didn't say anything at the time. Said person isn't a close friend more of a friend of a friend/ acquaintance.
If she says it again am.i in the right to say " excuse me less of the missy please"
Said woman is late 60s church goer, sees herself as a pillar of the community!

She may just have been given you a friendly greeting. That's all. It's entirely possible you're reading way too much into this.

Reading way too much into it, I would take it as a friendly familiar greeting. She sounds like she was just being nice.

Aren't you charming

Well missy is just a way to greet a woman, similar to Mry/mz-y. At least here it is. Supposed to be friendly

The next yime she does it I'd make a point of introducing myself with the name I'd want her to use .
Make it sound like you think she doesn't know your name , if she accepts it fine , if not and says something like 'I know your name' then politely ask her to use it.

If she uses missy again, then you can be ruder .

Do you mean Referred to? Or Addressed as?

Oh dear, I use cute words like this for people I like too. I must be totally evil

Sorry referred, it was a typo. She said hello missy

Why would you want to be rude? So odd!

Get a grip ffs

I think 'missy' is on par with 'deary' I wouldn't like it either.

She just couldn't remember your name. That's all.
FGS unclench a bit.

She absolutely knows my name, she's the village busy body and makes it her business to know everything!!
What's wrong with just 'hello'
How would she like it if I said hello old spinster

I would find that irritating as well. So patronising.

As a 60 year old woman, I wouldn't have given two hoots over this!!
Ive been called this and taken it for what it is,a friendly greeting.
Where I live and work, everyone is referred to as love, matey, sweetheart.

I could spend my day being uptight and getting in knots over this, or , just do what everyone else does, is smile back and get on with my day.

Wtf? Really?

Op you are making a mountain out of nothing. I suspect Its just because you don't like her you are wound up.
Seriously don't stress it.

She may have nicely noting that you’re much younger than her. Hard to tell without hearing the tone of voice.

I don't particularly like her or dislike her, she's not even on my radar.
I've baked cakes for her church fate when asked, I just find her patronising.

To me, it's the same as dearie, honey, sweetie etc. I don't particularly love these kinds of greetings, but really, they are obviously friendly and you would really embarrass yourself if you make a big drama out of such a non event.

You sound like someone who is easily offended. I’d be afraid to open my mouth if I was in your company.

It’s like Dick Emery “excuse me madam” “Miss”

Im originally from the North Midlands, I might have called you duck, "Hiya duck". I apologise in advance if I ever meet you and call you duck 😂

It wouldn't bother me in the least and I am older than you. It's not abusive and not at all comparable to saying "hello old spinster' to her .
There is a lot on life to get upset over. For me this isn't one of those things.

"My name's not Missy, it's CleaningAngel."

Missy is a nickname here.
