HEY

[elysee24]

Just curious how do you feel if someone knows you but call you "hey"!!
Do you think it's mean?! or it's alright with you?!

I think thats kind of rude

I have been called a lot of worse things in my life. But if they know you they should call you by name!

I figure they're probably like me; meaning at one time they probably knew my name but due to years of drinking and other forms of brain abuse, they've forgotten my name but don't wanna be rude.  So "hey" is probably better than nothing!  I often use the phrase "what's up dude?" or "how's it going?" to express the fact I am recognizing them without actually remembering their name!

Hey!?! I have been called worse...
I used to say hay is horses, not jacka**es like you.

If they acknowledge me I think it's good, If they say my name, that's better...

That was what I thought but English isn't my native language, so I was wondering!!

I can't agree with you more even though my real name is hard to prounce, but if that ever happened again, I will say "hey" back to her!!

The first part of the post made me laugh, I like the way you put it.
