He's a better man than I am for dealing with that snotty commie witch so gracefully...

dude, if not for mililtary courtesy, it wouldve been nice to see the MAN go on a Nicholson type rant and let the old bag know exactly what shes worth...

oh well, I am certain that the General will remember that little episode when the SHTF and there is a choice of who/what to defend...

and you 'Sir' are undoubtedly correct that this wasnt an insult, just another opportunity to grab at power, of which she has none, nor class either...

Now I’m the opposite...I had a TKD teacher in elementary school who emphasized using respectful titles with any adult and it stuck. To this day, even the waitress or clerk is “ma’am” and the guy taking my ticket at the movies is “sir”.

Seems to smooth things over remarkably. Food comes within reasonable time, drinks are topped up, checks are correct, and lines move quickly. Little courtesy goes a very long way.

Little courtesy goes a very long way.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And...So does “Please”, “Thank you”, and a smile.

Absolutely. Thought that was so much a given it didn’t need to be mentioned, actually.
