I was required to refer to all adults as sir or ma’am, aside from my own parents.

I vividly recall some of the teachers in school giving kids a death stare and saying “yes, what?” if someone neglected to put a sir or ma’am on the end of it.

That is something I have had to unlearn so to speak, as many people nowadays get offended if you use it! I am sure kids today are very frustrated, with half of adults requiring it and the other half biting your head off if you do.
