As a cis guy I get called sir all the time and don't really like it because it makes me feel chomsky-yes-honey

Really telling on themself by complaining about never being called sir while still acknowledging the reciprical aspect of showing respect...

yeah, i have never been called sir except in a situation where it sucks and I'm being bent over by an institution, so some customer service manager is trying to soothe me by saying "sir" while i am being ripped off.

being called "sir" does shit for me. might as well call me "chevalier" or "caballero". people who insist on "sir" should be pulled down and stepped on.

I live in the south, and am old, so I get called "sir" all the time. If it's someone I have any connection with, like a junior coworker, I'll reply with "don't call me sir, I work for a living", but I feel like it would be too weird to do that to like grocery clerks.
