For example I hate being called ma'am... ^^
How do you prefer to be called by people you haven't met before? :)

I really don't care as long as it's not "beetch" with an "i" or "jerk" or something rude. I've never been called ma'am. Usually people think I'm still a 16 year old though so...

Ma'am, Ms... are the proper ones in polite society, and for some reason someone in China is teaching people "Madam", "Mistress" or the one I hate most of all, "Lady".

I was raised to say ma'am and sir. I used to always get in trouble for it when I worked retail, but if I didn't when I was little it meant time out...

Miss or ma'am. I never understood why ma'am bugged other women so much. Usually when people say it they're not saying it because they think you look old - it's just a respectful term. There's even times when I prefer ma'am because miss can occasionally sound childish.

Hag...LOL!!! Just kidding! Atleast I don't think I've been called hag? OF course if they say it and I don't hear it, well...

The very first time we speak Miss is okay, but as soon as introductions have been made I'd prefer they use my name.

I don't much care, but I hate when people who don't know me use my name (ie: at work when I have a nametag on)

I just like being called by my first name, I'm genderqueer so gendered formal terms of address just make me feel awkward and highlight the fact that I don't know the person well at all.

I hate being called by my birth name or by "mademoiselle" or "madame"... But I usually am too shy to ask for proper pronouns. I'd really like to be called "Monsieur" (sir).

By my first name. I think it's respectful when kids call me "Miss _____", but that's rarely done in the north.
