Am I the only one who literally cringes when I hear someone call me toots, sweetheart, babe, hon, gorgeous, ect.

Unless your outie and my innie meet regularly, or you have express permission from me, you have absolutely NO reason to call me by anything other than my name.

Not only is it gross having 60 year old men call me "hon" "sweetheart" or "babe", it's extremely disrespectful. I get it, I'm a girl. Moving ON.

As long as we're on the topic, street harassment HAS to stop. Revving your engine, catcalls, obscene hand gestures, whistle's, ect. Is this shit really necessary? Does this actually drop panties? If not, what is the purpose? "Look at me! I'm looking at you!" Once again, I get it, I have a vagina. MOVING ON.

The house we looked at the other night was kind of dumpy... It's kind of a slumlord type rental. There were all sorts of creative DIY fixes for stuff, which a few of them ended with us scratching our heads. It was obvious the owner (and we know who the owner is) did the absolute minimum to eek by and still collect a rent check.

"Oh, so you would pipe the gas in through here, and instead of go up another foot and put it in the attic you just... pipe it right through the bedroom. Interesting.

"Oh, that's just duct taped to the wall... that's a nice touch.

This house had a trap-door style attic entry on the back porch... but instead of having a solid wood door or something it had the frame... and a piece of fake wood linoleum that was rolling up. ...that's special. I bet that linoleum really keeps the critters and the damp out.

In reality there was a lot that we expected because we knew it was a rental, and we know exactly who owns it. But also the pictures online look much better than it did in reality. All we really wanted were solid walls, a solid foundation, and relatively decent appliances once they got cleaned up a bit (the freezer still had food in it - wasn't clean. The stove was disgusting. The dishwasher had mold and food in it). Well, it had decent appliances, so one out of three.
Guess we will keep looking.

there was this woman that worked for my dad's former employer as a cook or housekeeper or something and she would always call my mom "baby..." it drove mom up the wall. then again, my mom calls women younger than her "ma'am," and i'm not talking about like 3-year-old girls... this is servers at restaurants and so on and it embarrasses the hell out of me. she's from ohio originally and i think most southerners understand that "ma'am" is reserved for your elders or in special cases for your own children (especially when they're misbehaving.) anyway, kind of far-fetched but i'm envisioning these scenarios as like woman-on-woman harassment, lol. i take what you're saying seriously, though... i have never been "hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride / tryin' to holla at me." i don't want no scrubs.

I always thought sir or ma'am were just respectful ways to address someone. However I don't like being called "ma'am" either because that makes me feel old. I'm married but id much prefer "miss".
As in, "thank you,miss." Or "miss, excuse me you dropped this". Ma'am makes me feel like and old church lady

"Unless your outie and my innie meet regularly" HAHAHA. But seriously, AMEN. I get cat called all the damn time and I would love to know what goes through a guys head when they honk at a female. maybe if I honk at her, she'll flash me her titties or ask me to pull over so she can suck my dick

YEP. THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO.
