NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

Ahhh!!!!!

Everywhere I go I get called Ma'am - I was always Miss, and ever since I got engaged I am 'Ma'am' - I am 26 years old - ***??????? Do I look that old?? Does this happen to anyone else?

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

I seem to get called ma'am the most by younger people. But I hate it!

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

I'm 25 and I've been getting it since college!! Then I'll go somewhere else and I hear how I look so young!!

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

It has just happened within the past year - so weird....it just makes me feel so OLD

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

nope!
i am 26 too, but i am five feet tall so no one ever thinks to call me ma'amm....

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

Why is it that up here in the north, women take such offense to being called ma'am? If you are in the south, women LOVE being called ma'am as it is a sign of respect. Look at it on the bright side... there are a lot of worse things we could be called!!!!

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

I am becoming a 'ma'am' now too. I am also 'the lady'.

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

IM 26- I GET MAAM TOO
I GUESS ITS JUST OUT OF POLITENESS

I PREFER 'MISS'

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

I'm the same age as you and I get ma'am in certain places - like in my apartment building, during work day.

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

Happened to me yesterday in Bloomingdales, I corrected the salewomen and said, 'no I believe you are the maam'
I am such a B!tch

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

I dislike the word 'ma'am' altogether!
I know is should should be taken as respectful and all, but i just hate the way it sounds

It's the rock, and plus as you get into your mid 20s you truly look your best and peeps give you more respect, though I would give anything for a store to tell me they need to hold me bags in the front, like the old days.............

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

Hahahaha!! The kid at the Burger King called me ma'am tonight. FH was making fun of me!! The kid kept apologizing!

Me too! I'm just under 5' and I look young. People always think I'm in high school...I have been asked what grade I am in!!! Then I have to tell them I graduated HS and college and I'm almost done with graduate school! I LOVE being called ma'am, but probably because it's so rare and it makes me feel older!

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

I'm laughing b/c I make all of my son's friends call me by my first name. Calling me mrs. or ms. anything makes me feel OLD! (and I'm a little bit older than most of the posters on this thread!)

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

Yes, ever since I turned 30 somehow people know that I'm not in my mid 20's anymore in the store and call me Ma'am.. I can't stand it.

Re: NWR: If one more person calls me Ma'am

I got 'Ma'am' again this morning at the deli and I thought of you girls
