Young Lady
Jump to: Newest in thread
A couple of years ago I went to the hospital for a routine check up after a very trivial op.
The nurse called my name ... then said .....
Come along young lady...... It was all I could do to NOT punch her fucking lights out.
These days I don't argue I satisfy myself with leaving them to their patronising moronic traits...
I tell myself they mean well and are trying to be nice.
All N.H.S hosps and drs are plastered with notices that say 'if you so much as look at one of us we will pounce and kill ...... but i never see a sign saying that they will address the public respectfully. |

In all fairness, when dealing with hundreds of people a day, it must be tricky knowing what every individual deems as respectful. If you recognise someone is genuinely 'being nice', just smile and forgive  |

I'd not hesitate in teasing Queen Leviosa. Slipping in an age-difference related sentance. I see no harm in that and I doubt she would either.
I'm not being patronising, I'm being playful. An 'old man' parrie back would be a much loved response. |

"I recoil when someone younger calls me “dear”  "
A young man I was seeing used to call me dear. It made me laugh and I said you sound like an old man addressing his wife. |

"Would you prefer it if I call you a woman of advanced years?
Just hello ? How are you ? Come with me ? etc .....
Like you would a human being and not a child maybe."
I don't really like talking to anyone. |

That's because you talk to each other on here and want to get in each other's undies. |

Just a play on words.. role-playing, teasing, if a woman older than me is being immature or bratish, I may use it  |

lol.. maybe I wouldn't call anyone I didn't know a little.. Young lady. That would be a bit wierd. Older, younger than me.. I'd have no issue using it in context to the conversation. |

Years ago, healthcare professionals used to call me Mrs Smith (not my real name).
Now they call me Barbara (also not my real name).
When did they decide they should call us by our first names?
I don't call my gp or consultants by their first names. |

It's a modern thing-creeping in over the last decade or so. I'd say American cos I blame them for everything and Britain is America's sheep.
I get letters from my car dealer, bank , netflix ..... they all call me Dear Penelope.... I do the same as you I go and  and  It runs along the lines of if they get familiar you will more easily do their bidding. Same in work, everyone is supposed to be a cuddly bunny. |

"Over to you Lickety. Should they ? Shouldn't they ?
I'd rather they didn't. It's a relative term, at best. It's wholly inaccurate in my case.
"
I'd rather they didn't. Nine times out of ten I can ignore it. In fact the odds are probably greater. However when cornered I do spit back.
It can't always be perceived as a put down though .......most of the time I view it as their immaturity and social inadequacy.

"dont some ladies prefer madam or mistress..what about... "chuck""
I just see it as people trying to be nice, I don’t get hung up on being called pet names either. Some people just look to be offended. |

I'd disagree sophie. I don't get offended by it. I don't like it. I think it's not appropriate but i'm not offended. Nor do I get hung up on it. But if a convo about it comes up .... I don't like it. |

Is when you state an objection the other party is unable to take it gracefully.

I've had guys call me gorgeous when I have no profile pic, they mean well but flattery (or attempted flattery) leaves me feeling awkward, some call me babe or sexy or hunni etc in first message. This is again cringey. Intimate words only really work for me when I feel a degree of intimacy with a person but my default comfort zone is always sarcasm  |

you dont generally say how would you prefer to be addressed first.
eg;
you dont go in a shop and say "a mars bar please,how would you prefer to be addressed" !or "thankyou for your time -how would you prefer to be addressed"its not natural speech |

For appointments I'm happy to be called Mrs Thingummybob (my real name) until we have been introduced, and then we can use first names, IF I'm allowed to call them by their first names.
They don't always have name tags with their first names on, so I'll call them love. |

A boy at our school called the French teacher Miss, as in yes Miss when she called his name.
She quickly pointed out she ceased to be a Miss 30 years ago.
Next time she read the register in the afternoon he replied ‘yes Mrs’, to much amusement of everyone. From then on he just called her Mrs.
Some folk worry way too much about things.
Get out there and live life a bit more. |

All HCP’s should ask on first contact what you prefer to be called and record it so all the team can see it.
I refused to open my eyes following a GA years ago, the nurse was calling me by my full name, not what I’m known by, and I panicked because I wasn’t quite sure why my bloody mother was in recovery with me!
The other pet hate is when I introduce myself to someone with my preferred name and they then go on to shorten/lengthen it to suit themselves.

Used to bug the hell out of me as he was 10 years my junior."

"All HCP’s should ask on first contact what you prefer to be called and record it so all the team can see it.
I refused to open my eyes following a GA years ago, the nurse was calling me by my full name, not what I’m known by, and I panicked because I wasn’t quite sure why my bloody mother was in recovery with me!
The other pet hate is when I introduce myself to someone with my preferred name and they then go on to shorten/lengthen it to suit themselves.
Good evening young lady
Piss off you!"
