None of this bothers me, but I do get awfully nervous in public sometimes when I say sir or ma'am. I'm a polite person, but I know there will come a day where I happen upon someone who doesn't appreciate what I'll have said and then it will be awkward or bad.

Edit:
I can actually imagine a good sketch like this now, but the backlash would be crazy.

Guy: "Thank you, ma'am"
Girl: "Sir."
Guy: "Yes?"
Girl: "Thank you, sir."
Guy: "You're welcome, ma'am."
Girl: "Sir, not ma'am."

Etc;
