You're meeting your girlfriend's patriarch dad who you often think disaproves of you although no one says it outright. He stares at you with straight eye contact and orders you to call him sir as a sign of respect.

I've always called my girlfriends' dads sir until they tell me otherwise.
Dielman on Rivers: "I've tried to get him to say s--- or f--- and all he'll ever do is say, 'Golly gee, I can't do that."
I would call him "sir". No point in making enemies at this point.
I would call him Ma'am.

"Really? That's what your daughter calls me." *holds up two fingers*
Haha, jk. I'd respect his authority. It's fucking dumb and the dude must be on some fuckin' power trip, but I'd show the man respect. I'm dating his daughter, and I assume I'm in the guy's house when this first goes down? So yeah, I'd respect his wishes.
If he continues to be a hardass at social events, though, I'd probably just avoid him for as long as possible.

Idk..
By default I'd call him sir or Mr. Xxxxxxx
But if he ordered it I'd probably get petty and start calling him other shit. Maybe his first name.

This usually, but my girlfriend's dad is a little bitch, and not even his own wife respects him so I'd honestly laugh out loud if he ever said this. He acts like it's still the 1950s and I've already kicked him out of my house before once. His daughter and granddaughter already live with me so fuck what he thinks. He used to treat my girlfriend like shit along with her mom when he has what they call his 'little asshole Danny' moments because he acts fucking childish. He won't say shit to me though because he's the kinda guy that only can act like a hardass when he's around women but he's a fucking pussy around guys because he knows he's a bitch. Fuck him.
He's honestly the only person I'd like to give a good ass beating but he's like 60 so it would make me look like a douchebag even though everyone knows he deserves one. Now this post went and got me all huffy and shit.

I would talk my gf into calling me sir, just to fuck with him

And even if I didn't, I would still call him "Sir" if he wanted it. You gotta choose your battles and calling him sir or not is a dumb hill to die on.

go along with it because I assume it's a test or power play or some such, hoping that it'll stop soon
if it didn't, i'd make it clear to my girlfriend that he's a tool. depending on her response to that, I suppose i'd find out how serious of a relationship we're gonna be in

Demands? lol no
I would have already been calling him that from the start but I'd sure as hell stop if he was DEMANDING it.

When someone who I am not subservient to in any capacity attempts to force me to be so, my response is to refuse to.
I do not exert that sort of traditional cultural influence on other people, and therefore, I do not appreciate it when done to me. And if I acquiesce, we likely would have a bad relationship anyway. Better to get to it up front.
He'll get respect by default. But demanding respect from someone you cannot extract it from is asking to lose it.

Those of us from the south were raised to treat our elders with respect. Age, title, and rank were all symbols of things which deserved significance. I thank soldiers, hold the door for my elders, and call my doctors by their title. While not in the military, I often get the same respect for the other two.

Can we get past this idea that "sir" and "ma'am" automatically convey respect?
It doesn't matter. If the rest of my behavior toward you shows I respect you, but my not calling you "sir" is something you have a problem with, then you're just an ass.
