Yeah, people have funny names for each other. Most of my gamers have taken to calling me 'You mother #%$@ing @$%-licking #*@$-sucking piece of @&%$!'

I think its cute.

The funniest thing along these lines that ever occured during one of my games: My wife plays amongst one of my groups. During one session, I asked "Love, could you grab me some more paper towels?" One of my other players, a female, was closer to the towels. She reached over, grabbed them and tossed them to me while my back was to the group (getting figures out for the next battle). When the towels landed in my chair (and without me knowing who threw them), I said, "Thanks, Sweatheart."

The entire room went silent. I didn't notice because I was trying to figure out whether to use a griffon or a pegasus to represent the hippogriff that I had not yet added to my collection.

When I finally turned around, everyone was staring at me, my wife or the girl that threw the paper towels.

The girl that threw the towels had a smirk on her face that could have been interpreted as either, 'You let the cat out of the bag', or 'You just got yourself in trouble.'

My wife had a look on her face that said that I was in T R O U B L E.

I had a look on my face like I was an idiot, because I had no idea what I'd done wrong.

When the tosser finally said, "I tossed you the towels ... and don't call me Sweatheart," I figured out what had happenned. Everyone had a good laugh. Except my wife.

I took her out to a real nice dinner after the game.

Holy over-reaction Batman!

I use Hun, Honey, Kids, Dear all the time to everyone, all the time.
I almost always refer to children as Sweetie.

For some reason, I can not explain, my boyfriend and I both call our small dog "Pickles". (His real name is Monty).

Ugh, that reminds me of this one guy that always comes to my friend's parents' parties. He calls me sweetie and hun and rubs my back and shoulders, creeps me out. He's like "Ya havin' a good time hun?" and rubs my back and junk, then im like "um......I guess" then walk a way very quickly.

Some advice: Next time he comes around, say "What is that smell?" Then take a few whiffs around in random directions followed by a final whiff in his direction. When you take that final whiff, jerk back slightly, bug your eyes out just a bit and crinkle your nose a little. Don't overact, make it a bit subtle. Immediately say, "Oh, I'm sorry." Then look embarassed and excuse yourself.

The trick is to make it look like you were not trying to be hostile. It should look like you were embarassed by what occurred.

I've used this trick about a dozen times when I've been forced into social situations with people I either don't like or that creep me out. So far, every single time I tried it, the person has made an effort to stay away from me for the rest of the day. In most of those cases, that person has begun to avoid me out of embarassment when we run into each other in the future as well.

Oh, I see we have a contingent that thinks that logic plays a part in marriage.

If you think she overreacted and you're married (or in a long term relationship), try this experiment. When you're at home with your significant other in the room (where she can hear you), pick up your house phone, call your (currently off) cell phone and say the following:

"Hey, Hun. I'm just calling to check in." (Pause five seconds.) "No, not right now." (Pause four seconds). "OK, Sweetie. I'll see you then."

Then hang up and sit down to read/watch tv. Wait for your significant other to say something first.

Wow! Sounds more like you needed to take her out for an operation to get that funny bone put back in

Yeah, really - someone needs to lighten up! Of course, my wife gets jealous sometimes - but she doesn't game.

The only issue I've had was when one of the female players in the group was having her character try and sweet-talk an NPC into helping her out. She did a little flirting with him, I had the NPC flirt back. This went on for a few minutes - very good roleplaying - until I saw the look I was getting from my wife, another player. I quickly put an end to the encounter at that point. I wonder if I'm still paying for that or if I've done something else since...

I have that problem all the time - my absentmindedness kicks in, usually when I'm in a hurry. I'm used to telling my wife, "I love you" before I hang up the phone or before I leave her anyplace. As a result of hurrying, I've told my boss over the phone "I love you" twice, and his secretary at least once.

It's a nice habit gone terribly, terribly wrong.

[RangerWickett]

My ex-girlfriend and I had been separate for six months, after a very stressful break-up with lots of angst and remorse. She had made it very clear that we should never even consider getting back together, and always got pissed at me if I brought up the possibility.

She was leaving college for the semester, heading back to our mutual home town. She called me on her cel phone, and I, having not talked to her for a while, was happy to hear from her. We had a nice conversation, and I told her I'd see her as soon as she got into town. I say, "See you soon. Bye." She says, "I love you. Bye bye."

I'm dumbfounded, and don't reply, and there's just dead air for about fifteen seconds. I hear a very soft, "Dammit," and she hangs up.

So, of course, for the next two days while she's road-tripping, I'm wondering if she was professing her newfound love for me, and that I blew it by not replying, or if it was just a slip of the tongue. Alas, it was the latter, but I got to give her hell because of it, so all ended well.

Ha! I've done that, but it was my brother-in-law. The look on his face must have been something to see.....
