ugh hand shaking kind of weirds me out. I don't know how clean people's hands are. I rather do a fist pump than have to shake someone's hand then all I can think about is washing my hands or getting to some hand sanitizer quick!

I feel like ma'am is far more formal and makes things awkward in most situations in comparison to sir, and dont know of any more casual ways to reference a lady in that situation.

The general response I get from calling women ma'am is that they claim it makes them feel old so they don't like to hear it.

Accents don't have much effect on me but I do understand how it'll bother someone to have to deal with an accent they aren't used to.
I find it a bit weird how people find certain accents sexy. Accents do absolutely nothing for me.
