Quite the contrary! If I'm addressed as "sir", it means that I'll always be sure to return the respect being shown to me. Even if the exchange is not pleasant. It usually signifies the chance to have a civilized encounter in an increasingly rude world. As well as the intonation of the word "sir" being extremely revealing to your current social situation. I think that it's both useful and considerate.

It's Old School..When the younger crowd respects you enough to address you as sir or M'am, you have earned their respect and that's a tough thing to do!

I particularly enjoy the occasional refined conversation typically surrounding the use of "Sir".
Most of the time I hang out with jokers who'll slip in a "Ma'am" now and then.
Besides, "Sir" can be funny! Watch the original Scarlet Pimpernel: Leslie Howard slays all with his "Me Sir? No Sir!" routine.

yes, I hate m'am - sounds condescending, but on the other hand, since I am female, "sir" wouldn't be unfavourable also
