Default Have a nice day sir

Lately I have experienced a new phenomenom in my life.
People younger than me and older than me refer to me as sir.

I will give two examples from yesterday. I usually wear a suit most days to work and the days I do not wear a suit I will wear a dress shirt and dress slacks. I turn 40 in three months, so I must appear "old".

Yesterday morning as I left my local Wa-Wa I waited to hold the door for a man in his early sixties. He thanked me and said "have a nice day sir".

Later on in the day I went to a local supermarket for lunch. I had a conversation with a woman in her mid fifties. We parted ways and as she left she told me to "have a nice day sir"

At what age does a man become a sir?
