Oh mine had to be worse than being addressed ‘aunty’…this goes back to the age of 18 when i was taking my kid cousin to play in the park, and like Mallika (above) stated, was being nice to some annoying kid on the see-saw so that my cousin and he could pair up for the irking pendulum game, i get a comment from the extra friendly mom of the kid - apka beta kitna pyaara hai…and my world stood still… rest yall can guess…:(

Well Jay honestly thats proof enough that we do fall in uncle/aunty slot coz combats like “yeh fashion mein hai!” would never occur to us. Sad. Sad.

Anyways my Aunty story goes like this: I was around 16 and was at some mall when I smiled at a random toddler and then the kid’s mom smiles back at me n tells her kid “Give a flying kiss to Aunty!”

Wow! Thats what you get for being sweet to kids..I have given up! :P

Maybe its your spectacles and tweed jacket styled shirts.

:D
Be either badly dressed up to be addressed as dude, or be suave in your attire and be called as uncle.
The choice is your’s .

heh

The first time I was addressed as uncle was when I was 16. I am now 25 and the unbridled shower of the five letter word continues….

” Uncle ” this five lettered abuse is showered on me for 35 years now.

Familiarity and Time had almost healed me !

Strangely enough..I was in my early 20’s when i was called Uncle myself…my sympathies to you too…as I too was shocked by the little boy who said that

I am one of those unfortunate enough to be called an uncle in my early twenties (admittedly, that was the actual relation). But yeah, I totally understand what you are saying. Time to take out that Godrej hair dye then … :)

My experience of ‘Uncle’

I was enoying my summer holidays at ‘Kempty falls’ masoori with my wife. A group of young girls around 17-20 years old were also enjoying the fall and taking photographs. Suddenly, a girl approcahed me with this brand name ‘Uncle’ requesting me to take her photo along with her friend. The world fell upon me by hearing that in the age of 28 years from a something 17-18 year old beautiful girl. But my wife understanding my awkword situation tried to come to my rescue and told the girl, ‘He will take the picture now as he is offended by your address’. But my problems were not gonna be solved even by the support of my wife.
the girl then asked… BHAIYA……
I am speechless….
