Someone from the year 1900 might say something like "Pardon me, gracious sir" for example.
How did everyday people on the street act towards each other on a daily basis in say, 1700, 1800, 1900, 1950 ect...?
This is kind of a vague question, maybe if you could narrow it down to a specific place and year or decade? Mannerisms and culture change within society on a very quick turnaround (think about the differences in culture between now and 1990 alone) so it would help if you could specify
