Do you use people's names when you call or speak to them?

And only if I can remember their name.

mostly not, I think

I try to. Apparently people like that. But I don't like to over do it.

Not in my personal life, but I do this a lot in my professional life. It's something I seem to do naturally with patients, especially those who seem a bit confused. However, although I said "in my professional life", I actually don't use the names of my colleagues or seniors unless there's no other way to get their attention. I'm much more likely to sidle up and try to make eye contact.

Depends.

*calls out* bill...........bill........................BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you talking to me?

no....*points* that other guy named bill

o i c

Not generally. It feels too personal.

No, I'm just.. afraid to. It's weird. But for teachers yeah. Yeah. Hi Mr Zima!

Now I think about it. No.

I often use nicknames though to show affection.

My favourite one at the moment is 'Hello Trouble, how are you?'

Yes, either that or dog/Motherf**ker .......... that was a joke BTW

Well only if their names are "Dumbass" and "Stupid"... ROFL

"I'm fine, How are you?"

i said yes but i don't know if i do all the time.

Usually only at work. I think mostly, it's creepy.

I'm required at work to say the customer's name at least once. I think it's worth something like two points on an audit. Some of my co-workers have mocked this rule at times, overusing the name to the point of ridiculous-ness.
