OT but I really hate "ma'am" as a form of address. Yes I might be an adult woman, but something about that term rubs me up the wrong way. I keep thinking "I do not own a brothel!" XD

Oh and, I'll squee and call myself a fangirl if I want. I also go out with the girls, have a set of girls on my chest, and do girly things on occasion. And you can't stop me!
starphotographs: I like him. He kind of looks and acts like one of my characters. (I did not know this when I started liking him!) (Victor (...>:|))

Oh god, so do I. It just sounds so shrill and obnoxious. I'm actually not so hot on "miss," either. Both of them almost invariably sound like the person addressing you is about to accuse you of something. D:

And I don't use "sir," because it sounds like you're being a suck-up. I dunno. How hard is it to just say "excuse me" or something? :/

I'm middle-aged and I don't like being called "miss". "Miss" is for teenage girls and being middle-aged is nothing to be ashamed of.

I feel like it's a regional thing. I grew up in the south and still reflexively use Yes Sir and No Ma'am for anyone who looks like an "adult" to me (is older than me).

But I've been in places where that kind of address was taken as sarcastic, which baffled me since I thought I was being polite??

Ditto. I got into trouble when we moved near an army base - apparently 'sir' is very offensive to some people, but I was raised to call everybody sir or ma'am.
