    I deserve it - I command that level of respect from all around me. And if I'm polite enough to call him "Officer", it's only reciprocation

      Something like...

      "Oh, hello Officer... Didn't expect to see you there. Do you enjoy watching teenage girls shower through a foggy window, too?"

      "Put your hands behind your back, sir."

          Dude is great with me. I have always been "dude". When I am 60, I still want to be called "dude".

            I don't hate it at all unless it's being used in a patronizing way as stated above. However, since I have such low self esteem I usually assume that I am being patronized rather than respected so I guess it doesn't work out well for me.

                "Sir" and "Ma'am" are terms of respect, not age connotative. I will call the 18-year-old bank teller "ma'am" and I am 52 years old. Of course that is also a Southern thing. I know when I was in California people tended to bow up about "sir" and "ma'am". Take it as a sign of respect and don't let it bother you.

                  when you look and act like i do, "sir" is a term that will completely evade you for your entire life.

                    That's odd, because I assumed the same thing about myself.
