See, that was my problem with it too. I know they are being respectful so I'm not mad about it or anything. I guess I think of a ma'am as an old lady. I wonder if it has anything to do with where you are raised. I grew up here in California and no one I knew was ever taught to say that when speaking with adults. To me it sounds like a southern thing, but I don't know. I was taught to call adults Mr. and Mrs. though.
I was taught to say ma'am and sir as a child, but my Gma is from Arkansas and Mom was born in Missouri (pronounced Missoura, not Missouree) so that might be true.
