Middle Aged Orphan Notices Disturbing Onset of "Old Lady" Monikers and Salutations

Why is it that all of the sudden since my mom died I keep noticing clerks and waiters calling me Ma'am?   Really?  Do I look that old?  Do I really look like a "Ma'am"?

I know I'm probably being overly sensitive but what ever happened to "Miss",  "Missy", "Hun", "Young Lady"? 



 Hell, I'd prefer "Hey Lady" or "Hey You".



I just don't get it.  I don't even use a walker, cane or wheelchair.  All of my mother's DME, Durable Medical Equipment, has been removed from my vehicle and is stored in the garage.

I can still feed myself, dress, toilet, climb stairs, and shower independently.  What's with the Ma'am stuff?  I much prefer to be called Little Orphan Agnes, Little Nut Brown, Teresa Agnes, Ag, or Fat Ass.  Just anything but Ma'am.

Please don't tell me you see a resemblance to a Ma'am...  I still color my hair and wear contact lenses!  

Enough with the Ma'am stuff.  Please stop already!
