I said, "I'll get right to it, Babe" He said (seriously, btw) , "I'm not your babe." I said, "No, but I thought since you called me 'Hon' that you were one of those that liked to use endearments in your conversation." He shook his head and walked away.

But he never called anyone that again -- at least not in the office.
