True, I don't know you. But I read your words, pondered them, and made an assumption on an aspect of your personality based on your statements. Perhaps I could have made my point and ended my comment at "Maybe they are just trying to be nice and make a connection?" But, I couldn't help myself, because aren't you doing the same thing when you assume that someone is being condescending and/or patronizing if they call you sweetie or honey? You are ascribing negative personality traits onto those people. I'm just doing the same thing to you.
Clearly you don't know me. Very rude to assume that you do.
