I agree. I've had salespeople call me by my first name and it bothers me. Personally, I see it as rude.
I have never been offended when a guy has offered me his seat or when he holds the door for me. I can stand just fine and get my own door but it's just nice to see a guy be so polite. The men here always allow the ladies to enter and leave an elevator before them. When I was in Cleveland during the summer, the men there would practically run me over to get onto the elevator first. One guy was so anxious to get out of the elevator first that he completely knocked me out of his way as I was trying to move through the elevator doors. Cleveland is certainly not representive of the entire North (or Midwest depending on who you ask) but there was definitely a difference between the way guys act there versus in the South.
