My best guy buddy and I were doing some work today. Had to drop some stuff at a storage site. I was totaly drab, wearing a dark maroon polo shirt and beige Dockers, hair pulled back in a low pony tail.

Approaching the gate on the way out there was a woman and her husband heading toward the gate in their pickup truck. I walked over to the box and entered my code but my buddy couldn't get his truck around their pickup. I walked through, they drove their truck in and my buddy pulled ours out.

I had to stop in the offfice and the woman happed to be behind me. With a nod toward our truck she said, "Is he your husband?"

Surprised, I said, "No, my friend."

"He's kind of impatient," she said.

Rather than point out that they were the ones who had been in the wrong, I kinda laughed and said, "Yeah, he's kinda ADHD."

"Good luck with that," she said and gave me a woman-to-woman smile.

"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and headed into the office.

Hugs,
Persephone.

Had similar things happen, but usually from the back; when I turn around and face them, they pretty much realize they got it at least half wrong.

Had something similar happen to me while on vacation, riding an ATV. I was 16 at that time, and I had always been wearing skinny jeans and a knit cap covering my eyebrows due to the cold, windy Korean autumn. My down jacket did me no favors whatsoever.

Round 1. Roughly translated from Mandarin.
Receptionist (to my father): "Your daughter's probably too small to ride this model."
Me: "I'll have to agree with you on that. I'm not even 166cm."
Receptionist: "Go ahead, uh, young man."

Round 2.
Photographer: "Step back a bit and remove your scarf, beautiful girl."
Tour guide riding slightly ahead translates the above into Mandarin.
Me: *removes scarf and tries not to die of laughter*

Barbara,
From your remarks, I see gradual change every day.

Yes you do have to use what I call the "Judas Escariot" principle now and then.

Just laugh off the others disability to integrate now and then.
