I don't either, but I also don't want to be wrong about my feelings, which I have been before. I confronted a SWA ticket agent about using "sweetie" on me. And I was irritated about some other things in my day, so basically I unwittingly took it out on her. She apologized, and then calmly asked me to think about it another way. She was from, I dunno, the South maybe, and that's how people address eachother there.
