Who else hates being addressed as Ms

[Gardengirl 2011]

I always thought it was a northern/southern thing. Most northerners don't do the ma'am and sir thing. Then I read PaulaJoAnne's post and noticed she's in AK and had to scratch my head. Can't get more norhtern than that, lol.

I prefer someone just call me by name, but I do use the sir and ma'am myself at times if it's someone older than myself. As a kid, I was raised to use Mrs, Miss or Mr with their last name.

I was called Mrs. once... Just about fell over.

Oh, eenie. I liked it, but what did it say in the center? It looked like there was a word in it.


On Topic- I use Sir & Ma'am all the time.
I like to be called by my first name, last name, or Sir.

Don't really care for bud, buddy, pal, friend, or anything else like that.

Sir Imp- But it really ian't that important to me.

Ah well, people (my sister) were starting to accuse me of harboring evil fairies.... Whatever that means.

As long as nobody has issues with pink I'm a happy camper.

-A people-pleaser.

I got it off of Google. I couldn't read it, either. Probably something bad that would get me in trouble.

I hereby dub thee Sir Imp!

For Ms. L. works because I'm not Mrs. I'm divorced. I'm not Miss because I have been married and I am divorced. I was raised that Miss was a woman who has never been married, Mrs is a married woman, and Ms. is a woman who has been married but is divorced. Mrs. is also used for widows.
