A guy who works for the same company as me just called me “baby” during a phone conversation.

.............................................................................................................................................................................. okay..... ?

🤔🤔😂
It's a very common and normal thing to call everyone "baby", here in the south. I'm not surprised.

@DefiantHeart We say darlin a lot in New Orleans. Mostly older men though.
@Straylight Yes! And some girls who get called that by married guys, think the guy is picking her up. That's so not the case.
Just like every male opens the door for you here no matter where you're at. They aren't picking you up, just the southern hospitality.
@DefiantHeart the guy I work with got called into the office is his last job ‘cause he called a girl “hun.” It’s just what they call people in his area. Lol!

I have the same name as my bosses wife and will occasionally get texts from him like "I have to go meet a client, so I'll be late. I love you." Followed by. "Shit, disregard please. 😅"

@Straylight imagine he invites you to a party one day and sometime later he says sorry it was a mistake. You still can come if you want.

@SW-User That would be awkward.
@Straylight bless him! Lol!

I got called Sweetie earlier....Hate that name...
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
🤐....He left me to meet with a client, ma'am. @Harriet03
@BrattyMel i think it was more just a slip of the tongue
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
Ah. It happens lol. @SevenTierCrazyCake
Ah fuck no.
That won't do.

@ProdigalSummer yeah I agree... on a professional level especially.
@ProdigalSummer I just laughed.
@Stark I really don’t think he meant it.
@SevenTierCrazyCake I don’t think that matters to me at least. It’s still inappropriate and I’d feel uncomfortable either way.
@Stark oh. Sorry you’d feel that way. Doesn’t bother me in the least.

Pay it no mind, baby.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
He likes you and wants to move it outside of the company
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
@SevenTierCrazyCake I think you should. 😏
@Ambroseguy80 you’re wicked. Lol!
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
@SevenTierCrazyCake but it will show him how it feels. ;)

So, will you stomp your feet and get his ass fired? Or,

Will you say something to him privately, asking him not to call you 'baby' anymore?
@Budwick neither. I thought it was funny.

Assuming it was a work-related phone call and the two of you have no outside involvement with each other, that’s absurdly unprofessional behavior on his part.

I have a silly cute dumb pet name for my wife. While speaking with a coworker, for some reason it slipped out and I called her by this name. I was quite embarrassed, but she just laughed and said that was more affection than she'd received from her husband in years. I think she was joking, but I still felt kind of bad.

And what's the context of the guy calling you "baby?"
@DunningKruger he was just ending the phone call. He said “bye, baby”
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@SevenTierCrazyCake He wants you desperately.
@DunningKruger I see... crikey! 😂
Honey, I'm not sure what the problem in sweetheart. He was probably just being flirty, baby.

Could have been a slip if he uses it often with others
@Subsumedpat oh yeah. I’m pretty sure it was a mistake on his part. Just so unexpected coming from him of all people 😂

I had a doctor call me sweetheart several times which I thought was inappropriate and way out if line.🙄

sexual harassment or you've been sending signals
SW-User
@Donna15 it's not harrassment
@Donna15 ugh. Don’t be daft! It’s just a word.
