It's pumped into you in customer service jobs as well. I've actually been told off by someone for calling them sir 

She was understandably upset.

I love the idea of calling people 'sir' in a respectful gentlemanly intent. Same as saying 'Mr Smith' or whatever until told to refer to a person by their first name. Folks in service professions just do it naturally. It's just so alien to me it'd come off disrespectful. Makes me feel a bit awkward when in that sort of environment tbh.

One unrelated thing is that I think Police should call everyone “sir” or “Madam” in almost every situation barring life or death stuff of course.

I think it would restore the mental link to the phrase “public servant”

I suppose “ma’am” would be the proper alternative?

Message me babe!

One which I find very cringeworthy is when (mostly) women refer to their pet dog or cat as a "Fur Baby". Heard my wife talking to the dog the other evening and heard "mummy's little fur baby." 
I went straight into speak to her and asked if she is a fcuking retard or something.

"Why are you being so nasty?"

I replied "It's a six year old bull terrier weighing over 50 lbs, with defined musculature, a neck like Mike fcuking Tyson, with the ability to burst a football within 2 seconds... does that sound like it's a 'fur baby?" 

The last word "you're fcuking miserable"

Depending on the situation I used to call strangers “sir” quiet a lot, especially older men.

If it turned into a more casual situation and it warranted it then the normal everyday “mate” is what I used.

Older travelling men I call “Uncle” if we meet and I don’t know them.

Ive always thought that how you address old people is important and shows something of yourself i hate to see a lad in his 20's address an old boy in his 70' as " mate " it grates on me......older chaps i dont know i,ll address as " sir " then if and when we become friendly it will become " pops "......just a personal thing .....older ladies i'll address as " my dear " then once familiar it'll become " sweetheart,luv,treacle " etc etc.

Its an odd one though because if a young lad calls me " sir " i f****n hate it thinking oi im not that old yet ....but we're all different i suppose.

Plod or screws are all " guv "

As a kid we called all.our elderly neighbours Mr or Mrs Smith etc...

We knew no different, all my mates were the same on the estate to their neighbours...

I over use "mate" now to be honest, its a go to for me when I should be using names more..
