new thread
I had a new experience today that I thought I'd post.
While at a restaurant with my 3-year-old daughter she needed to go to the restroom. I had no choice, since it was just the two of us, but to take her into the men's room with me. After finishing her business, I helped her wash her hands. While we stood there with our backs to the door a guy pops in quickly and with a shocked tone starts apologizing, then looking at the sign on the outside of the door. Obviously he thought he accidentally popped into the women's restroom because all he saw was a little girl and a 'person' with long hair whom he thought was a woman. When he figured out that he had indeed entered the correct room he turned back with a "hmpf!" only to finally notice my goatee beard and large frame. My guess is that he had intended to 'have a few words' with the woman intruding on men's privacy, but caught himself in time.
...made me laugh!

Good one, Dave! That's one step [or more] beyond the simple, 'Yes, Ma'am' that happens quite a bit.
One time about 6 months ago, I rode by motorcycle to work because the weather was nice and I wanted to save a little on gas. So here I am, pulling up to a parking space, getting off my bike with my helmet on and my 13" [approximate] ponytail hanging down. I noticed this lady walking by, smiling at me. When I took off my helmet and she saw my mustache, her jawed dropped. She smiled and said, "Oh... I thought you were a girl!" I just smiled back and said, "Nope... I wasn't the last time I checked!"

Once, way back when, I had my hair straightened.
I went to school that day, and went through school as normal,got some compliments, so disapproval, blah blah blah.
So I go into Chemistry, and I start talking to my friends. One starts talking about how my hair was brought up in his Art course (to which I went O_O, because I didn't think I was a topic worthy of discussion).
He said that one guy (Who he refused to tell me the name of) saw me from behind and went 'Oh, who's the new girl? I think I'll get her number'.
Then he turned around and noticed my face and goatee. I burst out laughing my ass off.
Great story there David!

I love it when that happens. Some guys get a laugh out of it and some seem a bit pissed. Either way, I think it's funny.
