For some reason I'm thinking the green pancakes are something he saw on St. Patrick's day and the eyeball candy was from Halloween XD

I must be a really impolite person because I rarely ever say sir or ma'am OTL

Yeah, probably!

lmao same here

Outside of the South I feel like it's generally used only when talking to strangers. Like if you work at a store and your talking to a customer or if you're trying to stop someone you don't know on the street.

I never really say it either.

I dunno, I live in Miami which is probably super casual compared to the rest of Florida, pffftt.

Yeah, it seems like the norm.

That's so interesting! People expect to hear ma'am or sir where I'm from (especially after church) and it is SO RUDE not too. I mean, it's like, how old people get their respect. They will just huff at you and gossip to their friends if you don't.

Beware old people gossip. BEWARE!!! They will tell fucking EVERYONE YOU KNOW and your grandma will bring it up ALL THE FUCKING TIME (at least until someone else's grandchild fucks up and then you're in the clear.)

So it's best just to be polite in the first place. Y'all.

I'm from California and I barely ever hear sir or ma'am, even in stores ._. it's usually just a "Can I help you?" without any referral.

I was thinking more like someone saying "Uh, Sir, you need to scan your card" or "You dropped this Ma'am!".

[izzyninjajedi.livejournal.com]

That makes sense. But then to me I keep thinking of the words Mister and Miss instead of Sir and Ma'am ._.

pfft. to me, "mister" reminds me of what a little kid would say to a stranger, or the informal address from the 40s-50s.

See up in the North East [or at least my part of the New England], we just say "Excuse me," when trying to get a strangers attention, other than that I don't really hear that often o3o I think only little children say "Mister" or "Miss"
