Yeah, accidentally saying “I love you” due to force of habit is cringe, accidentally calling a woman “honey” while disagreeing with her due to habit implies something way worse about the speaker.
Reminds me of being in Iraq and some dipshit pilot shot a camel with his helicopter thinking it was an enemy. Government had to pay the owners money. And the pilot had a jackass sticker next to his name on the mission board for the rest of the deployment.
The brain is a funny thing. I mean how many times have you called somebody by the wrong name called your kids by different kid's names called your significant other by the cat's name. We are all imperfect human beings.
My favorite of these is I thought I heard my mom call my name from the basement one day, so I went down to see what she wanted. She just looked at me, very confused, and said she didn’t say my name—she said she needed a “fatter, shorter screwdriver” for the thing she was working on. My name is Kat.
Absolutely. One of the things that makes this so awkward is that the context was adversarial, not collegial, and what that implies for the circumstances under which he is usually calling someone “Honey”
