So, today I was in Walmart and needed to use the restroom. So I walk in and see this person drying their hands who I think is a man. We make eye contact and I just stop in my tracks and say "oh, I must be in the wrong restroom" to this person. I walk out of the restroom and check the door. I was in the women's to start with. The person I just saw WAS a woman. And I just basically told her she looks like a man. LOL. So then I proceed to go BACK IN the restroom and have to walk right past her again. Luckily, I think she took it as a compliment. (I think it was the look she was going for...) So no harm done. And I happen to think its downright HILARIOUS!!!!!:rofl:

Oh wow, hahahaha! At least they weren't insulted! I swear there are a few customers at work that I am always trying to guess the gender of.

That is too funny! I work with a man that is obviously a man WHEN YOU CAN SEE HIM! Everytime he calls on the phone I always say yes ma'm b/c he sounds like a woman! I'm finally getting accustomed to his voice and if he calls and I'm not sure I just say okay, leaving off the sir or ma'm. (which is hard b/c that is hardwired into my phone etiquette lol)

LOL... that is too funny. I had that experience kinda before. I had a classmate who I wasn't sure was a man or woman until I had the second class with her- a Creative Writing one- and her stories were all about lesbian experiences. She had a beard!

Oh my :bblol:

One time many years ago, I was on a business trip with some people I worked with. We had been on the road for a while and stopped for a snack and potty break. I must have been sort of out of it and I followed one of the guys into the mens room; as soon as I walked in I saw one of the other guys at the urinal and was like :bbeek: :bbredface: They messed with me about it for a while after.

Oh man...I've been called "sir" so many times! I had super short hair and never wore makeup when I was at work because I was a house painter. And white paint clothes don't lend well to the female form (even though I have big ol' boobs!).

I always thought it was just funny.

I'd have been horrified if I did that to someone though. :rofl: You just can't pretend nothing happened! Heeeeeeeeheeh!

Hahaha! That's too funny. I probably would have ended up digging some horrible hole for myself... "I'm sorry, it's just that you look like, er, I mean, um, you see, I have this eye problem and...uh, yeah."

Oh the good ol' WalMart bathroom stories...


... When I was about 13 I went to the restroom at Walmart. I noticed the stall was TRASHY and there was pee all over the toilet. So while I was in there a person walks in and starts brushing their teeth - wierd I know!

So I walk out of the stall and the guy looks at me like "Oh ****"... and I said "Ok, now one of us is in the wrong bathroom". He pointed to the urinal and I turned TEN SHADES OF RED!! LOL.

OMG I hate when stuff like that happens! I've had it happen with children! I used to work at the Animal Kingdom Safari at Disney. One time while working the cue a man came walking towards me with what I thought was one of the prettiest little girls I had ever seen on his shoulders. Beautiful little face and the prettiest blonde ringlets that went past the shoulders and just a white t-shirt and shorts on. I smiled and said "Hi Princess" the dad laughed and said "prince" it took me a moment because I swear he was the prettiest little girl! The dad just laughed and said it happens all the time. Sorry if anyone here has done this, but really, that's cruel to let your son look like a little girl!


Then one day there was a couple with two children on my truck one was a little girl and the other looked like a little boy with hair cut all the way down an oversized grey shirt and two thick silver chains on (the kind that boys normally wear). When getting off the truck the last child turned to me and said thank you that was so much fun. I glanced back and smile and said "your welcome little man" and drove off. When I came back around the person that had unloaded guest from my truck said that the mother was pissed because I had called their little girl little man. I swear she looked just like a boy!!! I felt sooooo bad so from now on I am sticking to calling every kid sweetie lol

Sorry to hijack but your story just reminded me of my slip ups lol

LOL, so funny.. Actually, my friend has this problem.. But it doesn't help she wears boys clothes and keeps her hair super short. =/ I have had to keep my mouth shut on saying sir or ma'am with some people in my line at work, too.
Oh, fun bathroom stories.. I was upnorth with my parents visiting my grandma.. We went into Witbecks (or was it Ashcrafts..?), well, a grocery store. Anyway, i had to potty, so i go into the bathroom, into the stall.. The lady next to me was praying in the stall, while going.. out loud. O.o;; Then she said 'AMEN' and flushed. LOL.. i could not leave until she did cuz i was cracking up.. I was about 8. lol

Now I though the story was funny until the last line....

My son was mistaken for a girl ALL the time. I dressed him in blue, I put baseball hats on him, but that darn curly hair and elvish face just made him look like a girl.

Eventually his face took on a more boyish appearance, so people did stop thinking he was a girl, but when he was little, there just wasn't a whole lot more we could do except put him in shirts that said "Boy" or something...

But at least you made the effort and din't let his hair get down to his back! lol My nephew is the same way his hair is short, but with all the curls! He is still a baby but last time it happened he was in a onesy with footballs and baseballs on it. The woman said "oh she's so pretty...oops I mean he I didn't see the baseballs" lol

I totally missed the past the shoulders part in your first post. Yeah, we never let his hair get that long, it was always a boy length cut.

haha when I was born we were premature and so little that they couldn't put the IV's in our hands so they had to shave our heads and put the IV's in our heads. We have one photo that we look like an old bald man with no hair on top, but a little bit down below all the way around. We didn't get much hair until we were like 2.

I was in LA visiting a friend. We went to an Indian restaurant and I had to go to the bathroom. I went back there and they said the womens was out of order to use the mens. Inside the mens they had one stall, and the urinals on the outside. So I went in, nobody was in there and I went into the stall. While I was in there a guy came in. I finished but waited in the stall until he was finished. You should have seen his face when I walked out. I said I was sorry but was told to come in here. Later my friend had to go and I told her to take Ozzy her husband with her because she would need to use the mens LOL.

That's exactly why I didn't have hair either! Except I was 19 days late, my mom's body stopped feeding me...

I didn't have a lot of hair until I was 1, mom had to tape bows to my head haha. Also, I had a lot of male cousins so my hand me downs were blue and boy-ish. Add the fact that I look JUST like my dad, and there were a lot of "Oh what a cute little boy you have!" comments.

we were in the hospital for a month. I have a scar on my hand where they were finally able to put an iv in my hand. My sister has scars on her heals as they would poke our heals to draw blood. We were 3 pounds. I got down to 3 pounds even, my sister got down to 2 pounds something.
