How does the younger set address the older set?

How do you address people?

Uncles Aunts
Do you say Uncle/Aunt "name" or do you say their first name or??

Adults, Teachers, parents
Do say Mr/Mrs "lastname" or do you use first name, or??

<--20

Uncle "nickname" for one, (which I don't even know how to spell) rest by Uncle "their first name"

Aunt "their first name"

Adults- depends, some insist I call by first name, but I still tend to do the Mr/Mrs. "last name"

Teachers - Mr./Mrs. "last name"

parents - Mom, don't talk to mom's gf much...., Dad - his first name...

all customers, regardless of age - Sir or Ma'am respectively....

It always depends. I call people different things all the time.

So if you are unsure, you stick with Sir? Eh?

the men that are undergoing the hormone stuff with the either padded bras or implants (I don't ask - don't really want to know) and others I am unsure if it is male or female, I just refrain from using either.... instead of "Did you find everything alright today ma'am/sir?" I just do "Did you find everything alright today?"

< 20

uncles, aunts: uncle, aunt and sometimes by thier frontname. depends on how much i see them.

dad, mom: dad, mom

teachers: i was a kinda strange guy on school. i had a good relationship with most of my teachers so i called them all by their frontname.

clients/customers: madam or sir for most of them. those that i see weekly by Mr/Mrs lastname


my boss/co-workers: first name

bosses and employees of the companies where i order all of my ingridients: all by frontname


so basicly i only use madam or sir when i don't know someone.
