Sir or ma'am?

Let me just start off by stating the overly obvious. Men are called sir and women are called ma'am. I know, it's not that hard of a concept to grasp; yet so many seem seem unable to get it.


The other day I pull into a stop and let everyone off. As I'm pulling away I hear from the back of the bus "Sir, open the rear doors". I pull back into the stop and reply "It's ma'am and the rear doors were open. You just need to push the handle." A little while later as I'm pulling out of another stop I hear "Sir, You're forgetting someone". I reply "Once again, it's not sir, it's ma'am and once I have my turn signal on and I'm pulling away, I don't stop. It's dangerous and confusing to the traffic around me." Later as the guy gets off the bus he says "Thanks for the ride sir, have a great day". Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Do I look that much like a man, or is he just tormenting me?
