Yeah. When I Worked Graveyard at Ship's in Westwood,

a customer called me "Honey." Men need to be careful using terms of endearment with strange women. (And remember—most women are strange as hell . . .)


I didn't mind "I love women in uniform." Because, after all, who doesn't look great in an orange dress, nylons, a bun in one's hair, and white tennis shoes with salsa stains on 'em?

But I didn't like "Honey." I just peered up through my bangs, leaned on the counter and told the guy. "I'm the waitress. I call you 'Honey.' That does not mean you get to call me 'Honey.'"

That was, BTW, the best job I ever had: I got to work all night, eat silver-dollar pancakes at 4:00 a.m., get the breakfast rush started, and walk home to my apartment just off UCLA's sorority row to have a second breakfast with my roommates before going to sleep.

1 Aww, c'mon, babe, you don't have to get all huffy, sugarplum. After all, we mean them as compliments, sweetcheeks --- Just remember, Attila; "IT COULD BE WORSE!" For example, I've heard some fairly strange (and I mean strange) terms of endearments headed my way. And then some. Ever had some strange woman come up and pinch your cheeks? Really disconcerting. Or my classmate who rubbed my beer belly in a strangely erotic way. Sauce for the goose and gander, y'know? Not to mention sticks 'n' stones.

2 Or my classmate who rubbed my beer belly in a strangely erotic way. I hate that. I may look like Buddha, but I assure you that rubbing my beer gut does not bring good luck.

3 In indiana, everyone is honey or hon, go get gas and the cashier will say that'l be $20 hon. I learnt long time ago to look at the context before picking on words.
