overheard some kid today ask his mom if I was a man or a woman. Only took two weeks to the day after cutting my hair short again for that - impressive for a store that doesn't get many children. (Only took one week for a customer to call me "sir" and immediately correct himself and apologize. I will be so happy when that finally stops being a thing -__-)

just to make it not all about me: what've you all got for recent work stories?

I used to get that a lot. Didn't bother me a bit, but my coworkers used to get so offended on my behalf. "I bet you want to slap that costumer, right?" "Uh, no. They were trying to be polite and obviously didn't mean offense."

Yeah, I'm a trans guy, so the "sir" wasn't what bugged me, it was the automatic correction and apology. Like, I laughed and told the guy it was fine, but he insisted on calling me "ma'am" the rest of the time I was helping him. (Which...ouch. I'm only 24, dude.) There weren't any of my other coworkers around when either incident happened, and I'm sort of grateful because...ergh, awkward. I get through it by looking forward to the day I finally pass as a guy /sigh.

That would add a level of awkward to it! I actually ID as genderqueer so I kind of get a kick out of it when kids ask me if I'm a girl or a boy or when people mistake me for a man.

I usually just let people go on with whatever gender they assume I am. It does kind of bug me when people go on and on with the apologies.

Haha, my partner's genderqueer and has said that the answer they'd give to "are you a boy or a girl" would be "no." (Which is kinda funny, because at one point, my friend's sister asked if I was a boy or a girl, and when I floundered for an answer (because I'd just recently started trying to socially live as male), the friend's boyfriend, who knew I was trans, answered for me with "yes." So that's been my preferred answer when I'm not actually passing and I'm quick enough to think of it :P)

Heeee! I used to think when people got worked up about the 'ma'am' thing it was silly, but then in my thirties i noticed i wasn't 'miss' anymore and...yeah, i was kinda miffed.

A few weeks ago this lady called in to yell at me about conditions in a prison -- I have no idea if she was a prisoner or what she was doing there. I asked her if she was calling about a claim and she just said "I'm a concerned citizen!" and went on this rant about how "if Hitler and the Nazis had wanted to kill everybody they would've put them in this prison", how unsanitary it was with blood and shit everywhere and "I'M A NATIVE AMERICAN" etc. I told her that I couldn't do anything about that unless she had a specific incident or incidents to report and she was like "well this is the number they gave me to call" and I finally told her to call her state representative and/or congressmen before hanging up on her

I mean technically I agree with the sad state of our prison system but having a random woman yelling at me about it is something else

That happened to me once. A little girl looked up at me, then at her father, and asked if I was a boy or a girl.

I have a few short stories:

Two customers nearly got into a fistfight because one pushed the other's cart out of his way. They didn't understand why security was kicking them out of the store.

The day before that, another customer parked in the middle of the road and didn't understand why the police were giving her a warning to not park illegally.

A few weeks ago, a customer asked me how to clean a steam iron. I had no idea, but another coworker answered for me. The customer patted me on the arm, said "Now you know for when you get married!", and then left as I stared at him. Thanks for making so many assumptions about me.
