This is a belated reply since I was on vacay this week, but on the subject of "ma'am"...I'm 23 and I'm usually addressed as "miss" which is fine but just recently, after taking a kayak ride, the guy helping me out of it who was about the same age as me, maybe a little older, called me "ma'am" and it kind of offended me (as I’ve always associated that title with someone who’s over 30 rather than in their early 20s). I didn't say anything, but I figured we were too close in age for him to call me by that title and since I’m from the northeast it isn’t common to call people “sir” or “ma’am” unless you’re in the military. :U
