True story:  the first time I got called "sir" was at the grocery.  I turned around to see if he was talking to someone behind me because I knew he couldn't be talking to me!  That was a sad day....

Ah, I can relate, Jamie. The sadest part about that first time (being called ma'am, not sir) was that it was so very long ago... :whistle:

The worst? Being called ma'am at the ripe old age of 18---by a 22 year old!! Boy did that suck! (I think my Navy uniform might have had something to do with it but that hardly mattered at the time!)

I have always thought Ma'am, Sir etc. depended a lot on the speakers attitude. I have even been OK with 'Little Lady', because I realized that that was just his way of speaking. On the other hand, if someone said it with even the slightest lear, I would be spitting mad.

Why, I demand that today's youngsters show me some respect and call me Sir Dr. Bill! If they don't do so why... I go home and cry.

Like Marvel and Rhondajc18, it was a long time ago that those wet behind the ears started calling me sir. Now when I go to the world famous Chi Chi Club to dance up a storm, I demand they check my ID (since it is club policy). That is unless a pretty woman is at the door.

what does sic mean? i never knew....
