I am NOT a MA'AM!

COLLEAGUE: "Ma'am want some turon?"

MOI: "Uh, noh."

COLLEAGUE: "Okay, one turon please." (sounds like a commercial)

MOI: "I meant, no, I'm not your Ma'am. Magkalevel lang tayo anoh! But I want some turon."

COLLEAGUE: "Okay ma'am sorry ma'am. Uh, sorry...po."

MOI: "Pabili po ng turon."

VENDOR: "Ma'am sampu lang," vendor says.

COLLEAGUE: (cuts in)"Ma'am ako na magbabayad ung kay ma'am." (referring to me)

VENDOR: "Okay sir. Thank you ma'am, sir.

Halleer?! Why is everybody in this country called Ma'am or Sir?
