I was kneeling at a display at a DIY store yesterday engrossed in various types of screws. A voice behind me said "don't get running around, you will knock into the lady". Looking round a Dad was speaking to his young son. The "lady" was me!
Seeing me full frontal and face on as it were "Dad" red faced spluttered "sorry mate". "No problem" I replied.
It's the first comment I've been aware of, of this nature.....was I cross or embaressed ?....no way....I now know my hair is getting longer !!!!!
Good luck to you all

How long is your hair?
I've been mistaken for a woman many times with hair that is just longer than average, but it's because I am very short.
I probably would've burst out laughing, and made the gentlemen even more embarrassed!
A voice behind me said "don't get running around, you will knock into the lady".
This happened to me while I was working at a Supermarket (yes, I was part of the mighty boot that crushes small businesses) - in my case it was an older lady... I was amazed that it didn't happen more than once in the six months I was there.
Good on you for perceiving it as a positive - keep growing!
These people must live very sheltered lives in very particular communities to be so unaware of things.
So, would he call the short-haired lady over there a man?
Its just one more thing that shows us how people have imbeded in their mind that anyone with long hair is a woman, its just how they teach their children to see the difference. Men have penis and short hair, women have vagina and long hair. Its something cultural of these days.
While driving the other day, I was insulted by another driver who called me f___ing lady.
In about 1980, a young man mistook my wife for a man, and commented on how long her hair was. He had ignored her back pocket of jeans length hair, and assumed that any jeans wearer must be male (I know that because I overheard the subsequent conversation with his mother). That must have been a sheltered life for 1980!
It is amusing.It's happened to me more than once.It gets to the point that men yell something of a sexual nature when they see me from the back only.If someone mistakes a man for a woman solely on the fact that he has long hair that person is a type of retard.A woman and a man have lots of differences besides the length of hair.It's rule of society that man should have short hair.And men think that all other men follow along with their own delusions and conformity.They are surprised when this is not the case.A man with long hair is more of a man because he follows his own rules and does not fear other man's opinions.Lots of women find long hair sexy so who cares about the opinions or confusions of retards?short hair is unnatural like society is.Other peoples reactions to my long hair amuse me but at the same time make me realize how many pathetic,conformist and narrow minded people are out there,and this is not amusing.
I have had this happen to me twice.
The first time I was in line to pay our cable bill. The lady taking bills asked who was next and the woman behind me said, "I think she is?". I turned around and the lady saw my mustache. The look on her face was priceless! I left her speechless because I didn't even get a sorry or pardon me from her.
The second time was this past August when my wife and I were at Walmart at the automotive department. My hair at that time was about shoulder length. My wife's hair is waist length.
We were going to go to our car but had to go through a door which had to be buzzed by one of the Walmart people. The guy saw the back of us and said, "You ladies and go through now." I didn't turn around but I thought it was strange and funny at the same time that he thought both of us were female.
I will admit that I have seen people with long hair and assumed it was a lady and saw the face with a full grown beard!
