Don't flippin call people sweetheart, hun, honey, sweetie, dear, etc.! This is extremely rude and condescending – especially when you are either 1) younger than the said person, 2) a stranger to the said person, or 3) a co-worker to the said person.
Unacceptable. Please, spread the word.
* A variety of nicknames are acceptable between close friends and family.

I personally like to take the approach endorsed by Mel Gibson recently and refer to women as "sugar tits". What do you think?
Hehehe... I like your approach mz benz. I'm sure most people won't mind you calling them sugar tits.
I agree. I'm most annoyed with teenagers calling me, "Ma'am."
And it always annoyed me when Jay at Owens called me, "Mum."
UGH.
#1.) I'm 26
