I guess Daffy Duck isn't the only one who had "pronoun trouble". Of course, it was hilarious when Bugs did it to him, but it's not so funny when it happens to me . . . trust me. What bothers me most is that when I correct people, they look at me like "yeah, right". Yesterday in our cafeteria someone called me "she" and when I corrected him ("it's 'he' "), he just stared at me. And at the local drug store chain, the conversation went something like this:
Clerk: "Here you go, miss."
Me: "I'm not a miss."
Clerk: (staring) "No? What are you, then?"
Me: "I'm a 'he' ."
Clerk: (more staring) "Okay, here you go."
No apology, no correction.
So my question for everybody and anybody who can relate (or even if you're fortunate enough not to have this happen to you) . . . how do you deal with people who get your pronouns wrong? I hope I'm not the only one going through this. This question is open to all.
