Re: Cultural differences - privacy

[(Anonymous)]

Born, raised, live in Texas. It's quite common here for people, strangers, to strike up conversations with each other while standing in line, waiting for something, w/the cashier, etc. We still use sir and ma'am; sometimes miss. People from the northern USA tend to be standoffish and unfriendly; I've had them complain to me about the cashier talking to them and being called sir, madam, miss (Them: What? is this some manners thing? Me: well, yes, it is. It's respectful, esp. if you're talking to someone who is older than you. Them: I hate it. makes me feel old. Me: Get over it. I've been called ma'am since h.s. Also, you're a dick for making fun of my accent. Go away. And, now that you're living here, you're the one w/the accent. Get over yourself.).

Sir and ma'am are just courtesy words. WTH is the problem with them? i've never understood people getting the ass over them.

Then again: born and raised in Florida. Dad from Tenn. Mom from NJ, I have no accent unless I am mad as hell and then it is the slowest Southern accent I can manage. :D

I'm moving to another state where I can be mad all the time and I'll sound like everybody else then.

I'm from Minnesota, which is probably geographically and "culturally" opposite of Texas in a lot of ways, but people are friendly here, too. Sir/ma'am are exclusively used in customer service, though, when you don't know how else to get someone's attention. It's also very, very strange for me to call anyone by their last name with Mr. or Ms - strangers, friend's parents, even bosses are pretty much only called first names.
