I have to admit a feeling of "oh-shit" when called "ma'am", 'cause like.. ((when did that happen? Is it my face? What I'm wearing? When did I cross over!!?)) Insecurities! "Miss" is generally how "young women" are addressed, & I guess it can be hard to ignore that fact & remain secure in a society where we put such emphasis on remaining/appearing youthful.
