Arpig -> RE: Submissive by Default in social situations? (1/25/2006 12:14:37 AM)

ok, first of all, it doesn't bother me if a sub/slave who isn't mine calls me sir, to me it just means that they either a) do things that way, or b) for whatever reason that person has decided that I deserve it. I am sort of used to it, given my age and the amount of grey in my beard I am often adressed as sir by strangers wanting the time or something like that.
As far as my sub, i would expect her to use that term only for doms who were my friends, however, I would not forbid her from using the term if she feels more comfortable doing so. In the context of a scene/event, I consider a sub calling a dom/domme sir or ma'am to simply be a form of politeness.
Master, however, is a different kettle of fish; I would not permit my sub to address somebody other than myself as master, and when i am called master by a total stranger (granted, not very often) I am always a little taken aback, and have a great temptation to play the maniacal sadist, just to show them they should be careful whom they give that title to.
As for those who give themselves titles and expect others to address them by those titles, well to them I say: expect the unexpected, because it ain't gonna happen from me or my pet.
Another thing to keep in mind (and which anybody who has served in the military can confirm), Sir can be anything BUT respectful...its all in the tone.
