so many young people get all bent out of shape when i say sir. i dont even dare say ma’am bc i will get yelled at. but i wish they were acceptable, bc i struggle with name recollection.

That’s a cultural thing for sure. Here in Texas all women are “ma’am” regardless of age.

In the Midwest, too. I had to learn to use “Miss” instead when I moved East because damn Yankees assing some kind of negative age valuation to “Ma’am” or “Madam”.
