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. chik fil a is the absolute worst when it comes to "manners" because its so incredibly cultish and fake sounding.

Nowadays I see kids calling their parents by their first name and it boggles my mind. If I called my father Owen I would still be picking my teeth up off the ground. My niece does that to my sister and it annoys me to no end.

My niece does that to my sister and it annoys me to no end. More than once when someone asked me what are my parents names I've answered "Mom and Dad, duh". That's all I've ever called them my entire life. I can't imagine calling them by their names.

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. Agreed!

Doesn't bother me either way. I work in customer service, and those are actually the only people I call sir or ma'am. I rarely call people outside of my job those terms. Although, when I met William Regal once, I did call him Mr. Regal and Sir.

I'm from the old school so saying sir is the norm for me.

Anyone hate being called sir? I know it's respectful, but it makes me cringe a bit when I hear it directed to me. Anyone feel the same, or am I just weird? Sorry sir

I haven't been knighted so I don't feel the need to be called Sir, if someone doesn't know my name I'd rather "Sir" than "oi you" though.

I prefer 'dude' as that's basically what I am. Too young to be a 'kid' and too old to be a 'sir' in my opinion.

I prefer a good stern, "hey you!"

Makes me feel a little old, but doesn’t bother me all that much.
