biggest pet peeve is being called “sweetie” by someone the same age as me…like girlll i am 21 years old and last i checked you are not a kindly grandmother and i am not under age 10…i know they’re trying to be nice but it just seems disrespectful

bruh like can we have a little respect…i live in the south and ive grown up with southern parents and family and it is NOT just a southern thing. it would honestly be more respectful to just call someone “ma’am” or “sir”
