    Do you feel weird if someone calls you sir, or madam?

    I call everybody sir and mam. From little kids to old ladies. Not all the time every time, but frequently. So, no it doesn't bother me.

    Hello yeah, It makes me feel weird.
    Here in the South, most men say ma'am. Its better if they call me miss. Its still uber weird, since I still feel 17.

    It makes me feel old if someone calls me ma'am. Like Hilder I prefer to be called miss.

    My boss calls me "Ma'am" all the time, but her accent makes it sound so funny that I love it. :D

    It always makes me feel a lot older then what I am, I hate it, I'm going through a pre mid life crisis I believe, haha.

    I call people that at work all the time, but most of those people are Southern, old, or both.

    I get called mam on occasion from the young things at the grocery store. It's nice in way because I feel like it's respectful, yet on the other hand, I'm thinking...gosh I feel old. ;)

    But then I get the kids that look barely over 18 asking me for my ID when I buy beer. Hmmm. :p
