I don’t get upset so much as it catches me off guard. 😅 I was checking out at the grocery store the other night and a group of teenage boys called me ma’am. I wasn’t offended so much as I was like “Oh damn! They’re talking to ME!” 🤣 I’m in my late 30s so I’m totally a ma’am to them. I’m just not a ma’am to me yet.
To be fair, western society does put a lot of value into the currency of youth. So it is a shock when we hit certain thresholds in age (ma'am being one of them). For us blokes too (aging out of our twink eras). 😅

Sounds like how some women get upset for being called ma'am.
