I really get annoyed when I'm talking to someone and they say "My Dear", it feels like they are patronizing me or talking down to me as a subordinate, it really is a pet peeve of mine.

I am almost 30 years old, I want to be treated with some respect. Someone called today asking for someone, and they kept calling me "my dear" and it irritated me so much that I felt compelled to start a thread about it. I suppose I'm passive agressive because I did not TELL this person that I was annoyed at them addressing me by "My Dear" at the time so it made me feel even more annoyed that I didn't stand up for myself.

It's really "patronizing" when someone talks to you like that, as if you are not on their level and their equal but a subordinate or something of the sort.

Very fucken annoying.
