What would you rather be called by : stranger, coworkers, people you've met once, etc.
~Hey You.
~Miss/Mrs
~Lady
~Ma'am
~nothing
I have realized over the past few months of interaction between complete strangers at my job that I really dislike being called Ma'am. I don't know why, maybe I feel old or patronized or something, but it just . . . irks me. Really.

I suppose I would disagree on the Ma'am thing.
See to me it makes me feel more mature than I probably am, and if they knew me they'd never call me that.
So since they don't, they stick a higher maturity on me than I've earned...I like it. ;)
(notice, none of my friends call me Ma'am -- they know my maturity level) :D
There's a regular at my workplace who calls me "girlfriend." I didn't see this on the list.
never have been called that mel, so it didn't occur to me.
