Hey now! Let's clarify...there is NYC then there is the rest of the state, I'm in Albany and we are pretty polite here. We hold doors and say 'hi'Originally Posted by zeke
I've never even thought twice about being called ma'am but really don't like the whole 'hon', 'darling', 'sweety' thing...makes me insane!
When I was little we (me and my siblings) called everyone Mr., Mrs. or Miss, no exceptions, ever. A close family friend tried in vain for years to get us all to call her by her first name, we just couldn't bring ourselves to do it. I ran into her a few years back and called her Mrs. Smith, she just cracked up but I STILL can't call her by her first name! lol.
My sister is teaching her kids to use Miss and Mr. and the person's first name, it was funny when one of them insisted I was Miss Auntie K...I got them to drop the Miss. LOL
