First, what inspired this post. I was sitting out in front of a 7eleven when I noticed the person in the truck beside the car. At first, I thought he was a man. When he turned around he looked more like a she. I decided to ak the people in the car what they thought. We all decided that we didn't know but it was interesting trying to figure out just what we were seeing. Here is my question: This person comes into your store, restaurant, what-have-you and approaches you for a product or information, what do you say? How do you greet the person?
hey baby we need some labels. Like Men and Lady restrooms, ground chicken ground pork, this is a potential husband or this needs batteries.
Segregated restrooms are sexist, meat is bad for you, you're a predator and I thought the liberation movement meant you put your own batteries in your own vibrator...
I can almost agree with you on that segregated crack. Men make out like bandits in their rest rooms. I like chicken and if you're with P.E.T.A. then watch me while I eat this chicken sandwhich I got here and I'll offer you a piece. How did I become a sexual preditor? How am I to know what type and size battery to put in. I'm gonna get it for that.
Actually I have little but contempt for PETA, I just eat very little meat. And if you can't figue out what kind of batteries your little friend uses, that's a job for the the helpful hardware man at ACE.
uhhhh when i worked at the deli i used to greet people with sir or ma'am 'hi. (how are you doing?) how can i help you _____?' then i got one of the women that looked like a man and that made me sad. and then the next fuckin day i got a man that was very unconvincingly dressed as a woman and i only saw him walk up to the counter from the corner of my eye so i asked him how i could help him SIR and that was embarassing too. now i just say hi. and on the phone at school i greet them 'good afternoon (until 5 then its evening) north bennet street school.' um
"greetings gentle being" i mean what if people from other worlds were common visitors? i'm not saying that day WILL happen, or SOON; but it COULD... =^^= .../\...
I like that. I remember years ago when I was at our local powwow.(Indian festival for those unfamiliar, kind of like the Greek festival only it's usually late and you eat away from the inside of the sacred circle.) There was a person I would see a lot in town. The person asked the Chief a question and he answered it with, "sir" and the what ever the statement. Well, this lady was mean and easily riled (Angry in country talk) anyway but she corrected him and said a few words under her breath.
