Don't call me "babe"

I had a lady (customer) come into today. She asked for a small coffee. She ALWAYS asks for a small coffee, and she's always been nice about it. She's a doctor...and in her late 40's I'd imagine. I gave her her coffee then asked her (As I ALWAYS do) how she was going to pay (you know, with cash or whatever)...I suppose I called her "babe" when I asked cuz she lit on FIRE!!! "Don't call me babe." She huffed. "I'm too old to be called, 'babe.' In fact, I'd recommend not call ANYONE 'babe.'" In the back of my head, I heard the hissing of a very ugly, mangled cat, but she was a blonde lady in scrubs...I guess there's just something about 8 years of Medical School that can make an ASSHOLE outta anyone...

Hey babe, what's the matter with you. Only us old geezers get away with calling young women babe. Oh well, keep smiling and just think that it was prior to her getting the first cup of coffee. Uncle MUD

I think you and Mel do look somewhat alike. When you see the pictures of the little petty boys, they look like a bunch of peas looking for a pod. You two do have some common genes in that pool. Even if you have some short one's here and there. Rock Chalk.
