Lol...I got ma'amed tonight...twice. Now this would not be interesting except that I was in drab.
I was out at a mall with my wife, and wearing what passes for my everyday drab these days...skinny black girl jeans, black converse high tops, a black cotton Pea coat with a black hoody.And keep in mind my hair is getting pretty long...I have not cut it in a year and a half...but still. No makeup...nothing.
The first time was at a jewelry kiosk...my wife stopped to look, and I was slightly behind her and the assistant asked "What can I do for you ladies?"
Now to be fair, the SA had an eye patch and may not have been seeing quite right. Fair enough, though it still tickled me...lol
But then, later, I was in a store, alone, standing with my head down reading something on my cell...a SA walked up from the side and asked quite unmistakenly "Can I help you, ma'am?"
I looked up, looked her right in the face and said "No, I'm fine, thanks"
She said " Okay, well let me know if I can help" and went on her way. No apology, no awkwardness, just a pleasant exchange.
And it was t even a womens store, but a Sports Authority.
Hmmm
I knew my looks were changing...but maybe I dont pass as male anymore as well as I think I do...
