That one pissed me off. PARDON ME, I DIDN'T MEAN TO HAVE MANNERS.

I'm a gir...'scuse, me, I'm a woman, and I totally can't understand the drama behind being called ma'am. It's not like people are saying "Here you go, you wrinkly old crone. Have a nice day, hag."

THIS. As a waitress I have to deal with people freaking out over me calling them sir or ma'am when most of the time I want to call them gluttonous cunts. If only they knew, maybe then they'd stop pissing and moaning.

God help them if they ever end up in the South.

seriously, I live here and am called Ma'am allll the freaking time. I never gave it a second thought. "Little girl" however, will surely piss me off.

here=the south *facepalm*

"Little girl" would cause teeth-grinding in me. "Ma'am" is just...manners. At least it wasn't "honey" or "sweetie" or..."puddin' pants", those I could see getting upset about because of sexism, but "ma'am?"

I call my 4 year old "ma'am". It's a Southern &/or manners thing, not an age thing. The OMG-OLD!brigade really pisses me off.

Haha wow, your username is really similar to my Hebrew name.

[ahavah]

I don't actually know Hebrew myself, but I took mine from a book on the names of God.

Wow, God forbid anyone tries to be polite to a customer. Using "ma'am" may seem kind of old-fashioned or quaint to some people, but I don't think of the term as only referring to older women. For some reason the thought of someone not leaving a tip just because the barista innocently called them "ma'am" just pisses me off.

I adore your username.

[viva_lla_gloria]

Thank you! :)

And I love that you have Shark Week as your name. 30 Rock love!

Ok, next time I'd call you "tightass bitch",
