A girl i knew in college was from Vermont and when she introduced me to her parents she said her dad was really impressed with me because I always said "Yes sir" or "no sir".
I've heard it is something to do with opinions of the military protocol spanning generations. Not sure if that is true.

Spent the first half of my life in the northeast. No one there uses/respects/is taught "ma'am" or "sir." They hear it so infrequently, when they do hear it used, they think you're fricking with them/are being sarcastic.
