He/ she/ him/ her

[Dolt]

Do you get offended if someone refers to you as he/she/him/her?
I was referred to as SHE today and felt quite insulted.
even thought it's not a swear word it's not nice to be referred to as a she/he/him/her.

[squarebear]

It doesn't bother me at all really. If they didn't know your name, how else would they refer to you?

[cazzz1975]

I dont get offended

[hellywelly4]

We used to say, "Who's she, the cat's mother?" if anyone referred to someone as just 'she'.

[tearinghair]

I hate being referred to as 'the wife' (to be fair, I think he's stopped saying it now).

I used to manage a large office, one of the male telephone advisors was a bit camp. A customer rang me to complain about the young woman who was offhand and called him love throughout the conversation I didn't have the nerve to tell the customer it was a man who had answered his call. Then I had the task giving the lad a quick lesson in telephone etiquette. He was mortified to be mistaken for a female.

If a sergeant's wife came in after a corporal's wife she would always be seen first. This was 30 years ago, maybe things have changed. I doubt it though.

[anneasquith]

no.

[Dolt]

MM, I know people like that and they find it hard to change.

[micmak]

Does it still happen dolt?

[Dolt]

MM. I had to get away from them,

[boxtops]

I wouldn't be offended, but I can't remember the last time it happened. I'm more offended if someone refers to me by the wrong name altogether (which I'm quite good at, having a terrible memory for names).

[Dolt]

Thats what I hate Boxtops, when someone is referring to you and say "he/ she,
