       I've gotten used to kids and teenagers calling me sir.I've gotten used to ESL people where calling me sir when it's common to use the equivalent in there native language.I got called sir by a girl around my age and my brain shortcircuited for a moment.

       @BrodieOnLinux So is the part with the physical girl causing the short circuit or the part with the sir the one?

       @BrodieOnLinux our neighbours (around the age of my parents) have 3 kids and we often meet on the staircase. I'm always a little perplexed, when the father greets me with "Hey there", and the kids go with respectful "Good day, sir".It's been a year we're living here, I still short circuit sometimes :D

       @BrodieOnLinux I think the beard just makes you look older than you are 😅 if you'd shave then you automatically look younger than the "Sir threshold" 😁

       @BrodieOnLinux Unbeard yourself m8. Or become pirate daddy, either is fine.

       @BrodieOnLinux I find it odd because I'm still in the habit of calling people sir/ma'am myself, and I'm not too much younger than you. Maybe the girl is similar?
