What is everyone mad about? I'm completely flummoxed. "Hey you" is what I say to people in my inner circle. I would never be that intimate with someone outside it.

I guess you just never know what's gonna set someone off.

I was being sarcastic. I think the real issue is how angry should a person get if someone forgets your name. I dont know if that is a big deal, unless the person has been trying to romantically engage you for a year. But if you dont talk often or are barely friends, it's sort of presumptuous to get mad at someone for not knowing how important you are or something. It depends on context

Oh.

She said "calls."

I thought she meant when a friend calls via telephone. And I'm like well fuck me.

If it's like a construction worker catcall, then that is completely different, in general *all* catcalls are not appreciated. That, for sure, is rude.

Yeah you didn't speak to the person for couple of days and you start conversation like "hey you" do you like it? There's nothing worse than that, you can say Hi, or hey there or anything, even ignore whole greeting stuff and just respond the god damn question has been asked. Don't pretend you forgot my name and don't make me feel that I'm just a stranger you meet everyday at the grocery store. Yes people are dumb as hell, not raised properly, no manners smh

Yeah, I agree. I think it's endearing. And I only say 'hey you' to people I'm being flirty or extra-friendly with.

this... it's all in the tone of voice that goes with it as well. it's meant as a term of endearment *shrug*

if it's someone i don't know or a random call out. hell to the no. but when i call my friend and say heyyyy yooooouuu, or something along those lines, it's different. It's all about context.

I mean...

I personally can think of about 100 more degrading ways of greeting somebody off the top of my head but i guess it's a personal opinion...

But yeah, just keep walking.
