Btw, let me know once you watch the Daily Show episode. Wanna hear what you think, I hadn't laughed that hard in a looong time. However, if you aren't very familiar with Glenn Beck, it may not be as funny.

Where I get tripped up is when I work with PhDs and MDs. I call them "doctor," and because I'm not a student or patient, but am working with them in a professional capacity, they tend to say, "Just call me Mary/John." I have a hard time with that sometimes. It doesn't feel natural.
But at least I've never tripped up and called my physician by her first name or inadvertently stripped someone of his or her "letters."
Since I believe all humans are equal, I personally do not use the sir/maam or Mr/Ms/Mrs unless in a business or other professional situation.
I will do it if I do not know their name however.
I'd thought about that, also, since I too believe all human beings are equal...
The way I see it, & I'm sure I'm not unique in this, is it's not about Equality, it's about what constitutes one's peer-group...
For example, a person who is your parent's age or your kid's age isn't your peer, nor are those with whom you have a business relationship.
Thank you, Mr Googleproof...
although I'm not a 'Mrs.'
I believe Mr. Antlered is available, too. eh, eh?
