Maybe because I'm an old fart I don't see anything "silly" about calling adults Mr. or Mrs/Ms Last Name. It's a matter of respect.
MD, gotta say I'm with your mom about walking on a freshly mopped floor. Don't be walking on a floor I just cleaned. Walking on a just mopped floor leaves footprints. Again, it's a matter of respect.
I don't see anything "silly" about requiring kids to do chores. It teaches skills the kid will need in life and rresponsibility.
Like I said I'm an old fart.
