One of my vendors constantly calls me buddy. When he does use my name, he calls me Chris or Curtis. My name is Scott. Sometimes I reply to his too-long ramblings with "Nice review". When he says excuse me? or what?, I say that I didn't say anything. Then I get a sandwich.

He obviously missed the memo where it specifically said to address you as "Bwana," or "Your Royal Skleeness."

Re: What's with people calling you "Chief" ?
 

I use 'cowboy', when random people(guys) are being dick-ish.

I also use it when I really like you as well though, like when I see an old friend after a long while, "hey there cowboy!"

Porkchop is a good one - "How's it going, Porkchop?" Sorta rolls of the tongue.

Then there's the lovable, "Buckaroo."

Re: What's with people calling you "Chief" ?
 

I seldom call anyone by their name, but that's only because I can't remember it. If I have five minutes to come up with your name, I'll get it. Time constraints being what they are in the world today, I'll just call you whatever comes to mind. I've recently taken to calling the sprinkler guy potatacawk, for example.
I had no idea "chief" was a retail name for asshole. Chiefy Dahrouge was a guy from way back in kid-dom who sold firecrackers to us kids from his soda-fountain store. He was a good old dude, we all loved him and looked after him. I continued to look after him while he rooted in the park dumpsters for soda cans. He was a hometown institution. He called everyone "chief". He called my Dad chief when he was a kid, and my grandpa before him. I didn't think he meant it in a bad way, but it kinda adds up.
You guys have completely broken my heart. I hope you're happy with yourselves, Chief.

yes they do Chief :D

Re: What's with people calling you "Chief" ?
 

Babe Ruth called everybody "keed"(kid) because he couldn't remember names. I just use "tovorisch"- "comrade" in Russian.

Re: What's with people calling you "Chief" ?
 

I'm fine with people calling me Chief, or Master Chief, just don't shorten it to "Master" or call me "Sir". :-)

That's good Hoss. My bosses are hit or miss.

Re: What's with people calling you "Chief" ?
 

They call you chief for one reason and one reason only....if they used a-hole too many people would turn around, knowing that you are the chief a-hole they just shorten it so you know when you're being talked to!

Re: What's with people calling you "Chief" ?
 

I have this other guy that calls me "Gary the Tux Shop Guy" all the time. His ears have perfect symmetry.

This puts a whole new dynamic on The Beverly Hillbillies, Ms. Hathaway must have really felt repressed by Mr. Drysdale...
