Don't Ma'am Me

This morning, while waiting patiently in line at the pharmacy, the pharmacist looked at me and said "We will be just another minute or so Ma'am.". Instantly I decided that I didn't like him.

Now, on the train to work, I just read an email from my broker that said "Yes Ma'am" in response to an earlier question that I had sent him. I haven't even met him yet and he already thinks that I am old (unless he is from Texas).

I am not a fan of that word and generally prefer Miss instead. It just sounds much nicer and makes me sound younger - both things that I like to be :)
