CRAP! I just moved into this age bracket.
Got called sir at an art supply store. I guess I stood out from the pierced-up collage kids are running around me like pre-pubescents.
Then, today I open a door for an old lady at the bank. In stead of the, "Thank you young man" I got, "thank you sir."
Motherfucker.

52I call everyone that I don't know 'Sir', 'Madam' or 'Miss' because I was raised right proper like.
Thus, if someone calls me Sir I am okay with it by default.

If I call you "sir" it's a term of general respect... Like: "excuse me sir." or "Sir you dropped something."
If you have a problem with this you are a retard.
I had a run in with a guy in a restaurant whom did not like being called sir. He was a moron.
I said "pardon me sir" as he was in the way.
He got all in my face: "SIR? SIR!? what the fuck? How old do you think I am?"
I was like "what would you like me to say? 'excuse me prick you're in everybody's fucking way.'"
It is a title of respect! "hey you" is for uneducated assholes. "dude" is for morons. Get out of my fucking way!
What the fuck else do I call you? I'm already treating you with more respect than you deserve.
DUDE,
wash the skid marks out of your panties.
As for being called "sir",
I don't mind. I don't use it ever but it's not nails to a chalkboard for me.
As long as it's not "playa" or "squirt" I'm usually cool with it.
I really enjoyed being called a total, complete, useless piece of shit some post numbers back, right above my avatar. I miss those days.

58It's a technical nicety... it's better than "hey you" or "mister" or "dude"...
I ask again, what else to call somebody when you know their name not?
I say to you:
"Sir" or "Miss"
If I know your name I call you by that.
No exceptions, no shit stains.

We don't need exceptions or shit stains. What we need is:
Minimum wage.
Maximum RAGE.
