Seriously, get a grip

Why do men insist on plagueing me with ridiculous terms of endearment? I mean men i am not involved with, men i am involved with, friends of mine who are unfortunate enough to be men.

Sweetheart. Sweetie. Baby. My little [insert my real name here]. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Princess. Sexy. Honey. Doll. Darling.

Gag me with a million spoons. It's everytime i pick up my phone.

"Hey princess." or "Whats the deal sweetie?"

"Whats up sweetheart."

"Hi gorgeous."

"Ok, i'll talk to u later beautiful."

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!

I find it ridiculous and patronizing. My dad doesn't even call me such silly things. It makes me wince when i hear that, especially from people who don't even know me. How the hell do u know i am sweet anyhow? Who designated me princess of your illusions? I almost feel as if they are cutting me down to something fragile breakable. I never feel special like i imagine is the desired effect. It just bugs the fuck out of me.

Except........ when he says it. Because i am HIS sweetheart. His baby and his princess.

So humph!

when i order pizza from dominos...the guy taking my order always calls me honey. i want to tell him to stop as i throw up a little bit each time he utters the word.

funny how when an older person tells u that though, it makes you feel like you are loved or at least part of something bigger
