I usually go with their first name after meeting them, but my gf says you're supposed to call them Mr/Mrs. What do you do?

8/3/2014 12:10:58 AM

depends on how well you know them

8/3/2014 12:14:15 AM

Mr or Mrs

or

Sir or M'am

8/3/2014 12:44:28 AM

Hey...baby

8/3/2014 1:31:16 AM

ma'am
sir

8/3/2014 2:06:22 AM

Excuse me, Mr/Mrs recreational adult

8/3/2014 2:51:48 AM

"fuck off, you're in the way"

8/3/2014 3:34:08 AM

usually Mr. [first name] or Mrs. [first name]

sometimes Mr./Mrs. [last name] if they're the more formal sort

8/3/2014 7:17:38 AM

I try not to use names in general, because my memory rivals a goldfish's in shittiness

8/3/2014 8:02:17 AM

Very loudly

8/3/2014 9:44:21 AM

So maybe I'm a piece of shit, but I've never believed in the whole "I've been on this earth longer than you, so I deserve more respect" thing...If you've earned respect, that's a different story.

Anyway, I call them by their first names.

8/3/2014 10:53:04 AM

Depends on how well I know them..pretty much every body I work with is significantly older than me. But I just call them by their first name. Other than, it's usually Mr./Mrs. [first name].

And always use sir/ma'am. My parents drilled that one into my head at young age.

8/3/2014 11:01:12 AM

I feel like the generation that expected "sir/mam" is turning the corner on 80/90 now. Baby boomers don't seem to care for that crap.

8/3/2014 11:54:36 AM

you know what grinds my gears?

this should be reserved for lunch ladies and janitors only

8/3/2014 12:26:42 PM

none of us can call anyone old anymore

8/3/2014 12:55:47 PM

"Sup, brah?"

8/3/2014 1:46:52 PM

HEY MOTHERFUCKER, GET OUT OF THE PASSING LANE! JESUS!

8/3/2014 1:48:28 PM

I'm assuming you guys are only using Mrs. if you know the woman is married. If I'm unsure, it's "Ms."

I use whatever formal title they deserve: I mean, you guys aren't calling older doctors "Mr" or "Mrs" are you?

Same here.

Quote :

"Mr. [first name] or Mrs. [first name]"

What?! Are you guys still in elementary school or something?

8/3/2014 5:24:57 PM

i usually just call them chief, or bub.

If I'm meeting somebody's parents or something I'll usually go with Mr/Ms/Mrs the first time until they say "oh just call me x" and then go with that.

Professionally, I always go with their first name.

If they're like super elderly, I'll go with Mr/Miss and their first name.

8/4/2014 10:43:28 AM

Um... whatever they are introduced to me as?

8/4/2014 10:49:19 AM

^ Wow, so every person you come across in life is introduced to you by someone else?


[Edited on August 4, 2014 at 1:43 PM. Reason : also nearly every introduction i've been party to is first name/last name...not Bob or Mr. Walker]

8/4/2014 1:41:12 PM

Mr/Mrs/Ms [Last Name]

8/4/2014 1:45:02 PM

Mr and Mrs. Elder Vieux
123 Old Fart Lane
Depends, Oldlandia
99999

8/4/2014 1:54:22 PM

^^^Most people say "Hi, I'm ____"

8/4/2014 1:57:29 PM

8/4/2014 2:03:03 PM

^^ Who in the hell would say "Hi, I'm Mr. Walker?" It's almost always "Hi, I'm Robert Walker"...especially with old people.

8/4/2014 2:03:54 PM

^Someone who wants to be called Mr. Walker.

8/4/2014 5:10:38 PM

Either their first name or Mrs/Mr last name. Depends on how well I know them, but that goes for most people.

8/4/2014 5:58:12 PM

^^ I've never had someone introduce themselves to me as Mr/Ms [lastname]

8/4/2014 6:46:15 PM

Mr./Mrs./Ms. [last name]

But you say it a lot and fast and real familiar-like...so it doesn't feel formal after a while.

It's important to keep this up so when you do drunkenly bust out with "Jim" or "Nancy," you make a real impact.

most older doctors (and newer) will correct you if you say, Hello Mr. Walker, they will quickly say...Doctor, Dr. Walker

I think thats more specific for doctors though, they seem to have a God complex
