So after Friday beers I was sitting with the labbies on a busy street corner while we waited for our respective busses. A portly young man walked by with a beer in his hand and blearily blinked at me before asking, "I don't mean to disturb you" (to the labbies), "but are you female?" (to me).
I'm not sure whether to laugh or get upset at this.
I responded, "What does it matter to you?" and he stared at me and I stared at him and he repeated it again and I repeated it again and then he blinked and said "Sorry" and walked away.
I guess depending on how I want to look at it it's either hilarious or infuriating or just kind of sad.
Sad as in that was the first stranger I can remember since I've been in New York who actually thought I was possibly female. But also hilarious. I mean, he was so polite. Only in Canada I guess!
