Twice recently I have had to deal with clerks dressed and name tagged as women who most certainly were not. One of them exhibited seething hostile body language and was sniping at the gorgeous girl behind the counter beside him. I couldn’t wait to get away. I try to steer clear of people who have obvious mental problems.

About a year ago I had to deal with an appliance clerk who was dressed as a man. And from his day-old beard I deduced he was a man. But he insisted that he was a woman. And so he angrily corrected me when I said “sir” (I said “sir” because I’m polite to everyone).

I’m kind of a libertarian on this issue. But while I’m polite, I expect politeness in return. And those folks are simply incapable of being civil. So no sale that day.

I had a young man in a service related job repeatedly call me Ma’am, loudly and far too many times to be routine.

He was looking for a fight.

I just ignored him, finished whatever I was doing and left.

People like that are not worth the trouble. Best to get out of there.

me too, and it's getting harder and harder as the woke country tries to mainstream mental illness.

I had a group of pink hairs verbally accost me when the girl at the food truck asked “is this yours” and I said, no, it’s that guy’s over there.”

Oh their red hot rage was so enjoyable. With something so silly, like a word, I ruined all their days and enjoyed eating my Greek gyro while they cackled away like a bunch of angry hens.
