Ok let me start off by saying this WILL be a RANT.. My parents are from the south, V.A. area, I was brought up to have respect and manors for anyone young, old and inbetween...
Why is it these days when you say " yes sir, or no ma'am" people take offense to it, as if instead I am saying " yes you old fart, or no you old hag"
I was also a boy scout and the whole sir thing is natrual to me and my father was in the air force and my brother is in the air force so sir and ma'am are used alot. I have had people tell me in an angry kind of way " dont call me sir or ma'am" WTF!!!!!
How about I call you some other choice names them, I dont get it, these days people treat other people like trash! You can hold the door open for someone and they will just walk right in and not even say thank you. I mean how hard is it to say thank you, hell even thanks is good.. alot of people these days are rude, and they dont care. It has become the "NORM" to be rude.
Just something I was thinkin about b/c I started a new job and I was callin people sir and ma'am out of respect for them, NOT b/c they are old , one of my new employers told me to stop callin people sir, WTF! Hell I call my 6 year old daughter ma'am and my 25 year old fiance ma'am..
Has anyone else noticed this? Or was I just raised different?
