Now before I get lynched yes it was a sexist joke and i should be forced to eat dirt by a dominatrix but not until she loosens the dog collar so I can breath.

I don't think he was TRYING to be an asshole, but I do feel like a man you don't know calling a woman a term of endearment is a way to exert power and establish who's boss. My ex used to call waitresses "sweetheart" and "honey" when we went out to dinner, and I always chewed him out for it. He was brought up in a very patriarchal family, and really did, whether he would admit it or not, see women as slightly below him. I don't think bus guy's intentions were to put you down, but I would also feel conflicted about whether I should be insulted or pleased.
