This has nothing to do with pregnancy...I thought this might be a good forum to ask this question. There are ladies from all parts of the country and of a wide variety of ages in here, so I'm curious:

When you go out to a restaurant and your server addresses you as "ma'am" are you offended?

I am a server and I call women ma'am but no, I didn't upset someone. It's been a debate at my work about whether it offensive or not.

No I don't get offended unless it's being used in a derogatory wsy.

idk about other places or if it's just the way I was raised. but to me ma'am is a term of respect. so when someone addresses me that way I don't mind

I feel like miss is better but if you're like 60 whose gonna call you miss? Plus ma'am is polite. If you take politeness offensively then you're probably an ass.

im 23 & i feel like im too old for miss yet too young for ma'am but it also depends on how old the person referring to me is as well..ma'am doesn't offend me but just catches me off guard i guess...lol

I think it's respectful. It's not offensive at all. I'm 20 and get called ma'am all the time and it's nice. I like it. I get Hun a lot too, I don't know if that's because I look really young though. Some people say I look 17 others say I look 22. So I don't know about that.

I'm from Texas so if you don't address me as ma'am I take offense to it...I was raised that you address everyone as ma'am or sir...I even say it to my 4yr old and she says it to others...It's just a way to show respect when you don't know someone formally.
