I despise when strangers call me pet names
What kind of pet names do strangers call you?
I do not appreciate being called a sweetie or a darling, maybe a fine lady.
It is weird for strangers to call you pet names. It might be a cultural thing that they do it out of respect.
It's only some women doing it and men don't call me that in my country.
I get where you're coming from with strangers doing this to you. I would try not to take too much offense to this and just ignore the person move on with your day.
