I don't feel old but I think when people call you Ma'am they really mean b*tch. At least that's what it sounds like when people call me ma'am. "calm down ma'am" "stop yelling ma'am" "sorry we messed up your food ma'am" Go head just replace ma'am with b*tch it fits :-)

Nope, being brought up in Texas, it's a sign of respect. It's when you're not called sir or ma'am that you get offended down here. I drive a bus and I'm only 3 years older than some of the kids that I drive and I require them to call me Ma'am.

No, sir. I was raised that it is not a sign of age rather a show of respect. I say Sir and Ma'am to my children, my grandchildren, anyone I am speaking with. And I always feel like someone is doing their manner training if I get a Ma'am in return.
Thank you sir, for bringing this topic up for review.

I don't only because I was raised in the south and it was expected of you to call someone sir or ma'am, however, my wife does when someone calls her ma'am..

Yep. It's one thing if by age I'm a ma'am... but I don't want to LOOK like a ma'am.

I hate it when people my age call me "honey" like I'm their little sister or something. Like some chick at a makeup coutner says " Ok honey that'll be...." - yuck. But Ma'am is no bueno also .

Nope. I live in the South and people here say it out of respect and to be polite.
