Nope. Not at all. Manners and respect are all but a dead thing in 2018. Anyone who goes out of their way to be classy is ok in my book. Exactly. Hit the nail right on the head. I don't recall anyone ever calling me Sir or "Mr.". In my day and even to this day I still call my friends parents "Mr" or "Mrs". Common courtesy, manners and respect for others are now extinct for the most part. Such a shame.

Being a new school teacher is difficult. I feel odd calling my coworkers by their first names, especially the Principal or Superintendent.

I spend a lot of time working with directly with high school kids, and a lot of them call me sir.
I joke with them and beg them not to call me sir because I'm only 32 and it makes me feel old.

I prefer that over “boss”, “chief”, or “guy.”

Some of you all would never make it in the South where manners are part of a daily routine.

Sir is one I use all the time, but rarely am called it. For those amongst my age, not at,my job, I use "boss" a lot, because it made me feel nice and halfway important (I am quite insignificant) when someone said it to me once. Please don’t use boss boss is cringe

I don’t hate or mind being called sir. What, would you prefer to be called ma’am instead?

I get called that at hotels when checking in and I like it. A one time “afternoon / evening, sir” adds a bit of self importance. However, I went to Maccas recently and the person on the drive thru called me that at least six times. I’m all for manners because they’re sorely lacking today, but not that much.

I've been thinking about it and now I'm not responding to anyone unless they refer to me as "Your Highness."

It just weirds me out a little. I'm a 19 year old dude that dresses in black skinny jeans, Vans and band merch every day so I don't exactly fit the title of 'Sir' haha. Hey stuart. I'm basically like a mirror image of what you just described. I had no idea you were the same age, dressed almost identically and wore band merch like a religion. You have my respect, sir. Lol.

I developed a distaste for it when I worked the door at a nightclub. It was used by people trying to get in by being overly nice and respectful. You could tell it was BS, so it was more annoying than anything. I hate it to this day.

It's a sign of being raised correctly and giving others respect out of the box.
