Have you ever been somewhere and someone- usually a guy (sorry guys)- called you a sir? There is this guy at this gas station that I frequent alot that kept calling me "sir". I let it go on for awhile and then this morning I had to say something. Actually I didnot have to say anything at all! I got out of my car to pump the gas myself- something that I had rarely did before. He looked at me and smiled and said:" You are a female". I told him yes- the last time I checked I was! I had to laugh! The look on his face was priceless!!!!! I told him to have a nice day and got back in my car and left! Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Just a wondering! Have a nice day!

I have never been called "sir" by anyone, even though I wear my hair in a short-short afro. Even when I shaved my head bald no one mistook me for a man.
It's true, I always wear earrings and makeup, but still only an idiot or a fool would think a woman with short hair is a man or a man with long hair is a woman.

Well, BaldJasmine, it does happen even with non-idiots. I have been sitting in a resturant and had a server come up saying "What will it be ladies?" before noticing that one long hair at the table had a beard.

I now wear my hair shorter, since it kept getting caught in the computer hardware I work on.

Unfortunately, I've only been taken for a guy a couple of times that I can recall. Once I was wearing make-up and dangly earrings, and it was in a crowded toy store at Christmas time. A mother told her child to get out of the way so "he" could get by, in reference to me. The only other time I can recall was last year around Christmas time, actually (do I look more masculine in Winter or something?) and we were getting last-minute dinner components. I was wearing a sloppy, oversized wolf sweatshirt and no make-up, and an older man edged by me in the store, saying, "Excuse me, sir."
I'm into androgyny, though, so actually I wish I were mistaken more often rather than being upset when it does happen.
More awesome than a manatee!
