Excuse me ma’am, your facial hair is showing.

Anyway, I was at the Fedex drop off last night in total boy mode. Both of the people at the front desk were busy doing packages since it was near their ship time. I was standing alone in line to ship my package when a woman glances up at me then says “Ma’am, where are you shipping to?” OMG, did she just “ma’am” me? I froze. Facial hair, boy shirt, boy clothes, boy ponytail...and she ma’ams me. Now I will admit that she barely glanced at me, but in that instance, she read me as a woman. That was so cool. Well, until she looked back up and said “Oh....sorry.” Still, that was the first time I was ever “ma’amed” out in public, even if my cover was blown almost immediately.
