  Aye, aye, captain.
context: Easy there slick, life's too short to get worked up over nothing. >
  
  Whatever you say, skipper. >
  
  I feel like lots of people take it as someone being condescending/patronizing, but unless context shows that, it's probably just meant to be light-hearted. I usually think it's funny when people call me boss lol. >
  
  Depends on the age and situation.
  Are you older than those referring to you?.
  Then it could be a respectful term, or even just an endearment, many people use the term chief rather than the name.
  Only time it would annoy me would be if it was said sarcastically, by someone I didn't know.
  Only you know the inference, if you think about that you will find your answer as to why it annoys you. >
  
  Alright fella, maybe you need to take a chill pill buddy.
