I don't like it when they call me Sir, but I don't mind Mr. at all. Except when it's a hot chick

I'm only 21 so I don't care either way. If I were saying 40ish it would probably make me feel a little old.

I am 34 years old... not old, but getting there....... but when people who are 50+ call me sir it annoys me... maybe that is respectful, but I don't ever call them sir...... usually something like Nitwit comes to mind, or knucklehead or jughead, or asshole......

what I really hate is when people refer to me as "my friend." Like "trust me" it usually does exactly the opposite... cuz those are the type of people who are trying to pull something over on you.

I've noticed that people that call me "sir" usually want money from me.
