    Fair. However, everywhere in the US the service industry, military, and general phone etiquette (which is a dying thing) demands the standard colloquial terms of respect that are “sir and ma’am”.

    A previous commenter mentioned that the societal obsession with youth is a problem. I would go further and say that it is a larger problem than how people attempt to show others respect.

      I mean, the post is a fairly unserious comic. Seems to me this is a mountain/molehill situation.

      Edited because my comment got chopped up, sorry.
