How old to be called Sir?

[Jmh05]

I had two young men address me as sir today. I'm only 33 and I look younger than my stated age. I appreciate the respect in those young men because it's a sign of good upbringing but I'm WAY to young to be a sir outside of my army uniform.

Now not to call the kettle black but i sometimes call younger people sir as a complement of respect.

BUT

I'm feeling old tonight...after the tables were turned.

No age limit, based on the person or actions imo.

I'm in my 40's and have call young men sir if warranted.

I started getting called sir at about 28 or 29

Wait 'til they start calling you Grandpa--

Never too young or old, it's a respect thing, not an age thing.

Whatever old man. Quit complaining.

Just tell them "Hey don't call me Sir, I actually work for a livi..."

Oh wait. Never mind.
Haha jk

Very true Sir.

Yep.

I am 60 and I call 20 year old "kids" sir, especially if they are in some kind of position like on their job. If a 23 year old is working on my car at my dealership and he asks me a question, I will almost surely respond with " yes sir" rather than "yeah".

Wait til they start charging you for Senior Coffee at McDonalds without asking.

Lol



I pretty much call any guy I'm talking to sir unless it's like a close friend.

HAHA. PS I've got a YouTube video for you. Sent it to another army buddy and we laughed our butts off.

Wait one.

I was raised that way! I'm 62 and still use the manners I was taught. Not many use them today, it's a shame.

I saw what you did there. Got my hind quarters in trouble more than once for that.
