Not Dinner Manners.

Should I address people as "Sir" or "Ma'am" more? It's just not something I do often or even hardly at all. Sometimes I address someone as Sir near the end of an interaction if I find the person I'm talking to is respectable from a personal standpoint and I feel like I should grant the stranger that, but I never say it to just anyone. I don't say "Yes Sir," or "Yes Ma'am," I just say "Sure." I know it's the polite thing to do but usually I just address the person by their first name unless I know otherwise for like, say, a teacher or someone with a universally distinguished title.

Anyone else like this out there? Or is this just a symptom of social ineptness? I'd feel awkward if I forced myself to pronounce participation respect points, especially as an ultra-cool-groovy-rebel-rogue-wizard(-subject-to-change) like myself. For the record I still know to say my please's and thank you's in case any one of you dare thinks of me otherwise.
