Ha. I call everyone i know by their first name wether it's my mom, dad, grandma, aunts, uncles or older people i know.
If i call them sir or ma'am it feels as if i'm telling them they are old.
And if they don't like then they have to suck it up.

I refer to people older than me as Mr. or Ms./Mrs., not sir/ma'am.

I've only called my teachers in high school sir.
And I hated it cause they sound like they're king or something.

Yas, ma'am. When at work.
Elsewhere, I'm calling you by your first name.

Never, but probably will when I work.
I've always addressed my friends parents as Mr. and Mrs. unless they requested otherwise.

No, never have. It sounds inappropriate unless you're a waiter at a posh restaurant or someone's valet.

Not really. When I was younger I did it kinda as a joke towards people.
