This lady legit got pissed at me for calling her "ma'am". Told me that she is not old and you only say that to old people. She thought I was being disrespectful

Almost like getting pissed at a Japanese person for bowing when they meet you out of respect, thinking they're being condescending or whatever. It's just a part of their culture and the way they were raised, and a sign of respect for others I think is pretty damn cool to be honest with you, a sign of civility and gentility if you will.
