How did you feel the first time you were called ma'am (or sir)?

It never bothered me. I lived in the south for awhile and that's how people address you politely there.

It’s never a problem.i get greeted with Happy Mothers days even though I am childless if I go out anywhere on that day!

I was at the grocery store, she was younger.

I thought, I have arrived.

Unwillingly so.

I’m not thrilled being called sir but I’m used to it. 😒

That's a good feeling being called sir.

I remember the first time I was called an auntie and it felt very disturbing 😂😂 I was 25yo crossing through a kindergarten and a mom told her kid, Look at the auntie, and I thought wtf

Using the phone for my Dad, talking autopsies and sections, resections etc people assumed I was an adult, but no, our family never protected children from horror.

No one has ever called anyone "Sir" and meant it respectfully. It's really more of an insult that means "you think you are better than me."

I felt all growed up--but then it was recently counterbalanced by a woman asking me what high school I attend (I graduated high school 5 years ago). :P

bit weird.

the 'youre making a scene' bit was a tad unnecessary

Didn't phase me at all.
