[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For people who are offended or would prefer it not be used, what do you use instead. Like, if you saw something fall out of a woman’s purse as you were behind her on the sidewalk (an occasion where I might say “excuse me, miss/madam/sir I think you dropped something”) what would you say to get the person’s attention? [/quote] honestly how often does that happen? More likely it is op's husband who is saying Good morning, Ma'am![/quote] Actually, I'm a pp and it's happened to me twice. Women in line in front of me, about my age (I'm also female), left their wallets. I called "excuse me ma'am" after them to get their attention. It worked, but they looked boiling mad at me. Has only happened since I moved to the dc area. Decided that next time I will just hand the wallet back to the cashier or take the money out and throw the wallet on the floor if that's the thanks I get. [/quote]
