The problem I have with this, is I believe that Ma'am also infers someone is married (short for Madame?) so that would explain a person who is not married taking offense at it. Me, it just makes me feel old.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509305523940634182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-1111375480230427792005-03-20T22:24:00.000-05:002005-03-20T22:24:00.000-05:00This hits a nerve.

I hate the begging at the store doorway, or worse, the banks. <BR/><BR/>And let's not talk about the Blue Jean Fridays at work, where you get the 'priviledge' of wearing jeans for a two dollar donation, but lord help you if you decide your damn work attire is just fine, and you're not inclide to donate your two-I-busted-my-ass-for-this dollars to this week's charity: The Rescue of the Mongolian Dung Beatle. The dirty looks that are heap upon you by the 'social' commitment. Like I give a shit. I just swish my ass in my 'dress' pants and use my toonie for a double-double at Tim's.<BR/><BR/>As for the ma'am thing, I'm in my mid-thirties, and I gotta tell you, it was a *shock* being called ma'am. Makes you sound like your granny. Plus I worked as a temp for an answer service, years ago, and the owner scolded me once when I called her ma'am. She said, that's how you addressed the Queen.

I always feel bad if I pass them by, but, like you said, I give in other ways, and not random coins here and there for this penny jar and that.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486887818048998894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-1111354189565102952005-03-20T16:29:00.000-05:002005-03-20T16:29:00.000-05:00I SOOOO agree!!

We donate every year to local shelters and Toy's For Tots, I don't need someone sitting at a table with cookies, or a coin jar to look at me like I'm evil for ignoring them. Same with the sample people, if we want a sample we will walk up and get one, if we don't, we won't. <BR/>I also ignore the phone if at all possible. If the caller i.d. doesn't show a name I recognize, I'm not answering it. They make you feel even worse if you don't want to donate!! Talk about invasion!Leesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436139686290653801noreply@blogger.com
