  • If we weren’t on joking terms yes, I’d find it patronising.

  • I get called kiddo by some of my co-workers. Thing is I'm 34 and they're in their 30s as well. I really don't mind it. XD

  • Yes calling me kiddo would annoy me, I'm 39 years, I'm not a kid, even though I didn't pay attention the last time my housemate called me kid.

  • I guess it would depend on the tone the person said it in.

    If I feel like they are only saying it in a well meaning "I'm only saying this because you are younger than me with no intention of being annoying".

    Or using it as a part of the regular dialogue of where the come from like how some people call others sugar and stuff than no I'd have no problem with it.

  • Depends on the person, whether we were friends or not, and how old they looked in comparison. Mostly the friend part. If we're not friends, it's always condescending.

  • I feel like it really depends on your own age rather than the age difference. If you're younger than 30 I think it's normal, but if you're older it can only sound condescending.
