I hate being addressed by my first name when I go for medical appointments. I think it's very unprofessional.

I like being called affectionate things like babe, sweets etc - especially if it's a male friend seeing as I don't have one of my own to do so :O(( Other than that, I don't hate, but don't particularly like being referred to on site as Annie ............. Oh - and I don't like being called Ms either - I am a Miss !! xx

In general - 'mate'. I also don't like being called 'Tone' by people I don't know. I get a bit irritated by people who don't know me trying to be too familiar. * Thinks * Maybe I'm just turning into a grumpy, crotchety old man!!

Oh what a weapon you've given me - sweets!! I think it depends who says a word or the manner it's said in! Personally, I dislike 'dear' if a stranger calls me that - as many a rep has found to their cost! - and 'pal' if it's said in a sarcastic tone. Namewise - under sentence of death if you call me Chrissie!

Fee Report 31 Jan 2007 11:23

I hate being called Feefee. It goes back to my younger days when the whole family called me it.At the time there was an advert on TV for dog food, and the owner would call her poodle 'Feefee, din dins'. I would go rushing into the room, thinking was being called. Probably for much the same reason i do not like poodles either....lol.
