[QUOTE="regolith, post: 643437, member: 9267"] Which makes it very, very difficult to relate to those differences... Where I've lived, people who 'sir' or 'ma'am' are being sarcastic - with a very few genuine individuals who use it as identified in this thread, to convey respect. So you need to be observing the non-verbal communication to know whether you're being respected or dis-respected. I read this thread initially with a vague sense of horror, realising that my manner-less youth was going to catch up with me if I went a-travelling. I do get a bit miffed if some-one I don't know addresses me by my first name though. Different if I know they've got it from some-one else who knows me - but very often a teller will read it off the id card or cash card you hand them. [/QUOTE]
