I live with the constant stigma as "Most polite child of school" because I insist on using mrs./sir. whatever to teachers.

Trust me, I understand. I had one teacher for my senior year that everyone else called Janet. Even after graduation, I still called her Mrs. G*****. It was hard for me when she said to start calling her Janet.
BTW: I'm only 20 yrs old; if I was in my 30s I might be fine with being called Ms, since I could possibly be a teacher at that age. But at this age, it makes me feel prematurely old. I'm still in school myself (annoying college )

I shall respect your wishes, and call you by name.

I'm so used to being called by my first name that when I'm at the doctor's and they call Ms. ___, I'm like 'Huh?'

I can relate.

Except for the "at the doctor" part.

People who know me on FB will probably relate: at a doctor's office, or similar situation, people usually end up calling me by my first name - after they've taken a few halting efforts to pronounce my last name.

I think I could manage it.

I'm not even going to try...

Yes Ma'am.

Can we have a smiley that sticks out it's tongue? When I do it with the typical txting fashion I get .
Or is "razz" sticking out its tongue? I can't tell.

[stitch626]

Yes, that red thing would be a tongue.

[Sionnach Glic]

What else could it be? Did someone just tear off the smiley's jaw, or something?

A smiley with no dental insurance?

ms. Princess....

No ms. required. It's either the full IntrepidPrincess 8) (which no one seems to use, which is fine) or Princess . I for one like being called just "Princess". That used to be one of the nicknames my mom would use for me when I was little (I should add, it's the only one I still like). You can call me that just like everyone else if you want (however if you feel compelled to call me ms, I will not complain every time you do . but I really don't like formality, even among those younger than me).

Sorry, I live with the constant stigma as "Most polite child of school" because I insist on using mrs./sir. whatever to teachers. It's just something that i've grown up with, an innate sense of overbearing politeness. I'll try to remember that

Never, never, never call me "Mr. Mark"
