yes lord frieza
do you call people sir/ma'am/etc?
|
only when i'm working customer service
|
it's encouraged to where i live in alabama, but i don't really do it.. i used to when i was younger and lived in alabama (for a short time before moving over and over again) but after i lived in new york for so long i just grew out of the habit.
|
only when i'm in the mood at school
|
ya I'm pretty polite
|
nope I cant be bothered

But seriously, outside of male teachers at school, I don't think I've called anyone 'sir'. Literally never think I've called anyone ma'am, although if I met the Queen, I'd be given a 20 minute lecture on how 'ma'am' is the correct turn of phrase. |
I do so for intrapersonal reasons to people out in the world.
Anywhere else, not so much. Unless they earned that kind of respect. |
literally never. not while i was in school, not when i was working in retail, not in a job interview, never. don't particularly want to work with people who expect me to use false respect terms like that, and i absolutely hate them being used in me too
|
I never do this ever I am not that polite
|
I use "bitch tits", "f**kface", "thunder thighs"....
j/k I don't use those since my job deals with children between the ages of 8 and 18. |
no, like never.
|
I only really often use the words "Buddy" and "pal"
|
Hell no! I call people either "cuck" or their first name. NOTHING ELSE.

sir/ma'am, definitely. It's the most polite to address lol
|
At work sometimes. You'd be surprised how many people will leave stuff behind and walk away and just saying "excuse me" or "hey" or anything like that won't get their attention, but people stop when they hear "sir/ma'am" for some reason.
|
Not usually, because I NEVER know when I should apply such formalities. I'm absolutely AWFUL at handling those situations.
|
in the classroom, i definitely call my teachers "mr/mrs _" but not in a casual conversation. i just stay as polite as possible while treating them as a human and not jesus

I have to say though, as a general rule I hate referring to people with titles and don't much enjoy being referred to as such either. |
I gotta I work in Hospitality.
Also my mom was a nurse and was VERY particular about calling Doctors "Dr." and using proper titles. I've worked with some clients that absolutely need to be referred to as "Justice" among other titles so I generally do. |
Yes, especially if they're older.
|
I only do when saying, "excuse me" or "sorry", otherwise I don't use sir or ma'am.
|
Only at work, because I work in a pretty professional restaurant where that kind of talk to guests is expected.
|
i only call people mate
|
It was always encouraged around here, but I'm a rude little shit.
|
I don't willingly do it, only in ROTC.
|
I live in Alabama, so it's basically unwritten law that you have to say sir or ma'am. lol
|
We don't do that in Swedish. All kids call their teachers by their first name, doctors greet you with their first name etc. Only the King and the rest of the royal family are ever addressed with titles tbh.
|
I don't know if it's a regional thing, but I have never called anyone sir/ma'am except for school teachers where it was acceptable to use Sir/Miss in replace of Mr. Lastname or Miss/Mrs Lastname.
