I adress older persons as Ma'am and Sir

My Daddy always trained me to adress older persons respectfully with Sir and Ma'am, and so I do.
Some people say to me that only female fetishists still say Sir but that's just my education!

As a retired senior USAF Officer, I've been used to being called Sir for many years so don't get upset if someone does use it as a form of respect. There is nothing wrong with being respectful to someone that is older than you but respect is also earned.
