I’m not really bothered by any. If I fancy someone I quite like it.
I use pet names sometimes when I forget names which is awful. It happened today at work with a colleague. Completely spaced on her name so called her buddy. She knew exactly what I was doing so she reminded me of her name and we had a laugh about it. Her go to is hun when she forgets names. 
I haven’t been with this company very long so there was a good bit of grace from her towards me and I won’t forget it again! |

Not pet names exactly, but..
.."good boy" or "young man" from particular people in the past have rubbed against my nerves..
I think, they think they perceive a lack of maturity, so it gives them license to talk down to me, despite my age |

"I quite like pet names 
From a stranger though? I don't want men I've never met calling me babes. "
Ahhh from strangers it's a bit different. Now that I think about it, I hate being called buddy. It just sounds so condescending! |
