What do you prefer guys who are practically strangers to call you?
 

so what will it be bro/dude/man/mang/brah/buddy?

If they do not know my name they are strangers.

I think I will go for stuck up and stick with Sir or Mister.

I just don't answer when a stranger calls

bro is good if we have done business before

It better be "sir" regardless of them being strangers! Or else!

Where's the "none of the above" option?

Don't know my name? Then sir will do just fine.

None of the above..

hombre



seriously

I usually don't care what they call me as long as it's not "big guy." I fucking hate when strangers call me that. I was at the store a while back and was at the self-checkout lane. There were a couple of guys behind me and one goes, "You done, big guy?" I hate that shit so much.

I make calls...I don't take calls.

With two teenage daughters in the house - all the calls are for them anyways :1orglaugh

agreed...

I get that too alot, and I'm not even that big (6'2 200)

I usually get the vibe that it is said out of respect though so it doesn't bother me

My lord. As in, "excuse me, my lord."

funny how guy's prefer to be called "sir"

but lots of women cringe when being called "ma'am"

Yeah, they usually don't mean any disrespect by it, but sometimes it comes across as a bit condescending. Especially when the person saying it is bigger than you. Which doesn't happen to me often 'cause I'm fairly large, but I'd never say that to one of my smaller friends.

nigga, if they're kids they should call me Mr Nigga

if it's a girl talking, I hate being called "sir", too formal

<<<<<<<<<<<

i like to be called NIGGA

we were at vegas sittin around and i told my buddy "watsup nigga" and this group of black dude looks over all mean, like mind your own fuckin business i was calling my buddy nigga as in watsup buddy. they didnt do shit cause i would have knocked them all the fuck out, cant stand when people dont mind their own biz.

Only in the bedroom errr boardroom

Strangers don't have my #.

im on the do not call list

Nowhere did he mention phone calls. Read the question again. He wasn't talking about what strangers call you over the phone.

:1orglaugh

"hey gino"

:D

nothing gets by you!

you are missing "dog" and "nigga"

as well as "B"

as in, "they killed killer, B!"

Around here if someone doesn't know your name its pretty common to use "buddy" but in a nice way. "Hey buddy can you quit making out with my girlfriend" etc.

I don't see "Goddess" listed.

Usually I get the "Ma'm" or "Miss" I don't mind either and it shows class IMO :) At least I hope it does since it's what I always say.....Oh, and men I always call "Sir" no matter what their age unless I'm addressing a formal letter to a child in which case they are Master Firstname Lastname

uh .. yes please .. a little fucking respect here ..

that's exactly what i was thinking....


If they are complete stranger Sir or Mister does the job, otherwise, I'm fine with simply Michael :)

What if you don't know the child's first name, and his last name is "Bates"?

:D

If someone who can't assault and kill me calls me anything but sir, I curb-stomp them right then and there. That's unacceptable. If you can beat my ass until I'm dead, I might let you slide unless I'm armed.

But i bet they often end up calling you loser.

My name is on my ICQ. No need to call me anything else.

Are the only "practically strangers" you know/meet on ICQ? Is the guy who's the cashier at the local grocery store going to know your ICQ username? :upsidedow

i find it irritating when someone calls me bro/dude/buddy when i just met him. first name is fine.

But i know you for a long time now so i can call you bro right?
