I don't get insulted by the ma'am-ing, but it does weird me out. But I specifically don't want to be called Mrs.-- because I work in the same hospital as my mother-in-law... that's just too much for me. I just let people know with a laugh. Miss is fine, I'm still pretty young - I just wish they'd figure out that I'm not in HS!!
Growing up, I just called people whatever they told me to, though I usually started with a Mr./Mrs..... I do think people need to chill. Although, in NYC, if someone's calling you 'lady', it's usually not nice, so that one, yeah, I'd be insulted.
