it seriously weirds me out when people I don't know use my name.
When do they know you? I mean, if you've been introduced, how are they supposed to know when it's okay to use the name they've been told?
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I forgot to say that the doctor's office called and my infection is clear. so the IV antibiotics were worth it.
woo hoo!
Right now, I am hating being female.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
askye, that's good about the cleared up infection. I hope you get the pain source figured out and treated soon.
Yeah, ma'am doesn't bug me at all.

I don't know; it varies. I think it's not so much the name itself but the tone. The level of familiarity implied. I'm hesitant to use other people's names when I've just met them too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
askye, yay! Glad you're better and it was worth it. Hope the new thing resolves easily.
When I was younger I got irritated at being called ma'am, but now I'm okay with it. I'd rather be respected than lusted after.

I've never actually associated it with respect. Probably a lack of lust, but that's not the same thing.

For an example of why it doesn't ping me as an age thing, my aunt tells her granddaughter "No ma'am" when she does something naughty.
Drank ginger tea. Chatted with cute girl on OKC, there will likely be coffee. Bed now.

Katie, your stuff is beautiful. I wish I could see it in person.
Yay, askye! Have you taken some probitics? It could be your intestines protesting the lack of bacteria.
I dislike strangers calling me by my first name, but I have a last name that most people are unwilling tackle.

Ha! I do the same with my dog! "NO SIR!" though.
