Re: Is Calling Someone Their Last Name Disrespectful?
It was standard practice in my school. I don't think I got called by my first name by anyone for the first 3 years, and even after taht it was close pals.
English public school (== private school), just so you know (on scholarship).

Re: Is Calling Someone Their Last Name Disrespectful?
I'm surprised someone hasn't said it is disrespectful because this isn't the first time I heard someone bitch about it.
I really want to understand why some people consider it disrespectful when it seems like such a common practice.

It all depends on the tone... [/ QUOTE ] For sure. I have lots of close friends who call me by my last name and love it. Then I have met other people who I can't stand calling me by it. There is definitely a difference in the tone.

Re: Is Calling Someone Their Last Name Disrespectful?
Guys calling other guys by there last name is no problem, and if they say it is then call them by there first name, but just Fucin call them by the wrong name... Thats DIsrespect.
As for a girl calling a guy by there last name... ummm its just akward.. its more of a "were only at best can be friends title" -Andrew
