The lady at Chipotle just called me "sir".

[elektra]

That is all.

[citymama]

Thanks for the laugh!:ROTFLMAO:

[arivecchi]

:hysterical:

What?

Did she not notice the super long hair?

[ThreeofUs]

:ROTFLMAO:

Okay, that's hilarious. Was the clerk an obviously non-native English speaker?

[elektra]

I was in sweats and my hair was pulled back in a bun, no makeup. But EVEN SO, am I really that manly? :34:

[AnnieW625]

he he! No you aren't manly!

[elektra]

:ROTFLMAO:

Okay, that's hilarious. Was the clerk an obviously non-native English speaker?

She was a non-native speaker probably, but her English was still close to perfect. But she only corrected herself after I had given her what must have been a horrified look.

That hasn't happened to me for quite a long time (like before puberty)!
I mean I know I am tall and looked like a slob and all but still!!!

[arivecchi]

You are not masculine at all!

He/she must be http://volkswagenownersclub.com/vw/images/smilies/blind.gif

(Disclaimer, not meant to poke fun at blind people!)

I actually laughed out loud here. OMG. Too funny.

[jenfromnj]

Sorry but that's hysterical! I remember your Oscar pics from last year and you most definitely do NOT look like a sir!

(But--bright side--think of how much less you'll care the next time someone calls you ma'am!)

[cono0507]

That happened to me earlier this year - I was skiing and forgot my gloves somehow so I was in the shop buying gloves. Apparently from the back I looked like a man and "can I help you find something sir?" Granted, I'm tall, but still.
I bought a lavender ski jacket the next week lest there be any confusion. :)

[elektra]

OK, I am laughing out loud now too. Haha!
I guess it must have been just the angle or something as I approached the register because she was all, "can I help you sir" and then I looked up right at her up close and she blurted out, "I mean maam!"
She was pretty horrified. I think I had my scary face on at that point.

[liz]

Oh,my. What was she thinking:shake:?
Bad, chipotle lady, bad!

Plus, I remember your Oscar thread pics - you are beautiful!!

[veronica]

Did you happen to adjust yourself in front of her?;)

[boolady]

DD calls me sir darn near every day, and she's seen all the evidence to the contrary. :shrug:
Sorry about your mistaken ID.

[jbbhb]

I'm sorry, this is too funny. She should have given you some free guac! :ROTFLMAO:

[TwinFoxes]

That is hilarious! I would think the boobs would be a tip off. :shrug:

:ROTFLMAO:

[mommylamb]

You are not manly!!! That woman needs serious glasses.

[trales]

I taught at a prep school 10 years ago (wow, time flies), I was walking my dog one evening with a big ole down coat, sweat pants, snow boots, hood, scarf and gloves and a bunch of students walked up and said, Good Evening Mr. X. I looked and said actually it is Ms. W. They went running. Granted Mr. X and I had similar looking dogs, but I was about 50lbs lighter and 3 inches shorter.

That was the last time I wore the sweatpants, down coat and camo boots out for an evening dog walk.

[scrooks]

:hysterical: Really funny but that is got to be one confused lady! I remember your Oscar pics last year and I agree with everyone else that you don't look like a man.

[karstmama]

eh, likely habit. i've gotten it wrong both ways before, and not because i was actually confused about the person's gender!

[liamsmom]

Perhaps this woman's name was Marcy...

[DrSally]

What?! I'm sure she wasn't even looking at you and on "robot automatic" mode.

[salsah]

What?! I'm sure she wasn't even looking at you and on "robot automatic" mode.

that's what i'm thinking. auto-pilot. she was probably just exhausted and just served a bunch men so the "sir" came out unintentionally.

[MontrealMum]

I have seen pictures of you. Was she blind, or high?

[MamaMolly]

It is only funny because you DON'T look anything like a man.

[vludmilla]

I was in sweats and my hair was pulled back in a bun, no makeup. But EVEN SO, am I really that manly? :34:
No way. I can't even fathom thinking you're a man...I've seen pictures of you before so I can say it confidently!

[liamsmom]

that's what i'm thinking. auto-pilot. she was probably just exhausted and just served a bunch men so the "sir" came out unintentionally.

Honestly, I think I've done this myself. :bag Standing there behind the counter, once it gets busy, that auto pilot is what is keeping you sane. Until you do something like that...double :bag.

[bubbaray]

Ditto that -- we've met and the woman must SERIOUSLY have been blind or high to think you were a man. Seriously.

[JustMe]

Oh.my.goodness. There needs to be a whole different category for this kind of b*tch

[ncat]

I used to get that a lot when I was in my 20s. No idea why. The worst was once when I was looking at (women's) shoes. I was so upset I never went back to that store again!

[hellokitty]

Lol Elektra, I started cracking up before I even opened this thread! Sorry, but my parents and in laws are non-native speakers and they get he/she mixed up ALL of the time, so this kind of reminded me of that.

Oh and boolady, DS1 calls me dad all of the time. I'm like, "do I look like dad?" He's like, "no." So, he does this, "dad, um mom," thing EVERY time and I can't stand it. He KNOWS he is screwing it up, but still does it anyway. He does the same thing in reverse to my DH.

[elephantmeg]

I did that to a pt recently, and then went out to the nurses' station to confess and they all started laughing-they had too! But in your situation, wow!

[mudder17]

:rotflmao:
LOL, thanks for the laugh!

[momm]

OMG!

I hope you got the additional guacamole for free.

[Corie]

I actually laughed out loud here. OMG. Too funny.


I did too.

I read the thread title and just started laughing.

[tylersmama]

My preceptor accidentally called one of the male OBGYNs "ma'am" last week...it was pretty flipping funny!
