Called Ma'am in drab again!

[NatalieGirl]

Was at Panera. As I went up to the counter to pick up my order, the woman behind the counter called me Ma'am. (Actually I had on leggings and women's sandals, but she could not have seen them from where she was).

I wasn't wearing any makeup nor earrings. But I did have my hair in a girly do like this.

I love it when this happens!

lots of women go out with their hair up and no make up, so I guess she made an assumption - and from the look of it, a reasonable one.

I have to put a lot more effort into my apperance to eleicit a ma'am.

[Miss Maxine]

Isn't it awesome, when that happens? People call me ma'am all the time over the phone and in the drive thru. Apparently, I sound convincingly female. Once, my girlfriend had lost her voice, so she had me call a few companies for her and masquerade as her. ^_^

[Natasha's Gal]

Yay! Congratulations! How fun was that?!

[Cynthia Anne]

It's always nice to be called ma-am! But I don't think it will ever happen to me in male mode! Hugs!

[Sherry Lynn]

I've had it happen but it's been a while. I wear my hair long and I used to fool a lot of people but it doesn't happen much anymore.

Hi Natalie, So tell me what's your problem ma'am??

Something similar happened on the golf course, of all places. My wife and I were playing a round using a cart, and I was wearing this really pretty polo shirt that's a pale orange with a big floral motif down one side (thank you, Greg Norman, for blurring some lines). I like to play in a big, broad-brimmed hat, and my hair was below collar-length. We drove up to the next tee, and one of the older gentlemen waiting there asked how "you ladies" were doing today. Now, your ordinary, self-consciously macho male golfer would freak out, right? Not me. I said "fine" in my everyday male voice, they laughed, we laughed, no problem. It did make me ponder the possibilities of wearing a sleeveless polo, skort, makeup, jewelry, and girly golf cap and going to a course out of town as two golfing girlfriends, though. I guess I'd have to pull in the driver a bit, but then, Michelle Wie stands six feet tall and hits it a ton, so maybe...

I guess I'd have to pull in the driver a bit, ...

Is this a code phrase for tucking? :)

[BLUE ORCHID]

That's what I thought Natalie.

This will only be acceptable if you are using the red tees.:heehee::heehee:
Don't forget the pantyhose to make the guys take a second look.

When that happens to me I am beaming and try to use my best female voice in hopes that they don't realize they made a mistake

[Inna]

Isn't it just heavenly Natalie!!!!

It feels so right and so wholesome, when in fact I get called the Proper Miss or Honey I gleam with that "In Heaven" Glow. I think that when they call me Sir is when the mistake is made!!!! :)
