I know exactly what you mean.
A few weeks ago I nipped out for some milk and as I crossed the road to the shop a member of the Ministry of Defence Provost Guard Service was just getting out of his vehicle. (There's a nearby MoD establishment).
So, I nod and wish him good morning and receive a 'good morning, sir' in response.
That took me by surprise as nobody ever calls me 'sir' unless they are attempting to extract money from me.
Proof, I suppose, if proof were needed that decrepitude really has set in.
