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? _________________

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?" _________________

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. _________________ PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF =US-V= & VILLE $UPPORTER |
