The house across from me is currently undergoing extensive alterations and drastic refurbishments. There’s scaffolders EVERYWHERE…
For some of us it's just not love unless you're being squashed to deathScaffolders? Someone likes 'em BURLY.
I’m with you there, bud.I hate being called buddy, or even worse, BUD. It feels so condescending
That's as may be but at least you were called buddy and not given a filthy look as was the case with my table and chairs delivery person yesterday. Yes I AM on the second floor but yes there IS a lift!He installed my dishwasher and called me buddy
Though he also came at 7am which is TOO EARLY
I don't mind from you for some reasonI’m with you there, bud.
So true. Let’s hope the sun comes out!Scaffolders are the hottest tradesmen and that’s a FACT.
That's nice dear.I do however hate being called "dear", especially by men. I've TOLD the ABBA loon how much I hate it and on it goes...
BLOCK TIME
Even betterI actually do say buddy (or buddEH) quite a fair bit. In fact, I rarely actually use anyone’s name; everyone to me is mate, buddy, pal, lad or love.
I prefer ‘chief’ to sir. That and ‘youth’ are terms I used a lot when I was younger but I’ve dropped them both now, since literally nobody outside of a small enclave in North Warwickshire calls people ‘youth’.Buddy, boss and mate (or any other chummy niceties - including chum, as long as I'm not being chopped up for it ) are all fine with me. "Sir" is a bit weird though. I had that from a cab driver a while ago
Thanks DEARThat's nice dear.
Poor @COBI don't use any terms of endearment because there is no one in my life I find endearing.
I use it because I can’t be arsed learning names.I say mate all the time because I’m such a LAD.
They don’t actually have conversations; every now and then they’ll pop their head around the door, shout ‘disgustang’ and then walk off.

Oh it's just a sign of your BURGEONING MATURITY DARLINGI’m fine with sir in a fancy restaurant, but when I got it at my local coffee shop by the YOUNG BOY I was almost INSULTED.

Speaking is VERY overrated. There's always the risk of them saying something unpleasant or something you disagree withThere’s a very beautiful decorator in painting the office downstairs this week. Doesn’t speak, only grunts, and GREY JOGGERS to boot
Lovely.
