<p>assuming you do not know their name. If it’s a girl, I just say “miss?” But what if it’s a guy? ‘sir?’ It feels weird if the guy is younger though. How about “Todd?” and when they answer I’ll say, oh sorry you just look like a todd.</p>
<p>Benefit of living in the south- everyone (regardless of age) is either “sir” or “mam.” </p>
<p>Although when I moved here in 9th grade (after living in New York), it was a weird shock to be addressed as ‘mam.’</p>
<p>“excuse me”</p>
<p>This totally belongs on HSL</p>
<p>for guys, “dad?” and for gals, “mom?”</p>
<p>huh? Maybe I should just bring little rocks with me everywhere and throw them at the people whose attention I want</p>
<p>Yeah that’s a good point Johnson.</p>
<p>I usually just do the sheepish “hey” and kinda motion my hand at them.</p>
<p>Its weird… even if I’m in a crowd and I hear “sir” i always know they mean me.</p>
<p>I second DCHurricane’s response. I’m gulity of doing that too.</p>
<p>Other times, I’ll be like “yo, Dude…”</p>
<p>“Excuse me” or “hey” are both fine.</p>
<p>hey you</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Shout random insults and they will definitely pay attention.</p>
<p>I just say excuse me. Works just fine.</p>
<p>Just “bump” into them and say hey… I mean I suppose it depends on where you are or your position with that person.</p>
<p>Walk up and say, “Daddy’s home.”</p>
<p>Isn’t the standard ‘excuse me’?</p>
<p>Go streaking. That’s bound to get someone’s attention.</p>
<p>I’m allergic to saying “excuse me,” it makes me feel like I farted. I’m particularly interested in generic names like “mac”</p>
<p>If you don’t want to say “excuse me”, then zchryevns has the best advice.</p>
<p>Just shout “Hey you whore!”</p>
<p>excuse me standard
but sometimes i go “yo”</p>
