When I worked with the military years ago, guys 20 years older than me called me Sir and it felt odd to say the least!<br />P.S. In case you haven't figured it out, I'm reading your archives and commenting along the way.

Me on the other hand? Nope. Yet for some reason I still have the habit. No one around me ever says it. My parents didn't demand it from me growing up. Yet somehow I picked it up and I "ma'am" and "sir" people all the time. It definitely makes for confused looks when I tell people I'm from Chicago. heehee<br />It has gotten to be a "bad habit" of mine as of late, however, because I tend it use it as a cop-out as a cover because I'm too lazy to or can't remember the person's name e.g "howdy sir!" instead of "hi !". I do use it as a form a respect though when asked or instructed to do something.<br />But alas, I have no excuse as for why I say it as you do. You can be thankful you at least have a reason. lol<br />(ok, loooong comment. as if you didn't know. haha I am almost tempted to make it way longer but I shall refrain. You've probably got better things to do than read crazy long comments on your post, like writing up a new post! haHA!)Sarah Chipshttp://www.sarah.chrischips.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546504560209491595.post-20530744362082237902010-10-21T19:40:00.810-05:002010-10-21T19:40:00.810-05:00lol Abigail, that's what everyone says to me &...lol Abigail, that's what everyone says to me "I know you were taught to say ma'am and/or sir.

That's a new one for sure!<br /><br />I once got an almost identical remark about it being a habit, although it made me sound more like a dog: "I know you'll keep saying it because that's how you were trained, but I just want you to know that you don't have to." :PAbigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923525139399518814noreply@blogger.com
