How ’bout you guys?
Your first blunder reminded me of a time when I worked at a grocery store. A very nice bald woman, who also had a beard, rolled up in her wheel chair. I called her sir six times before she corrected me. I felt really bad, but she said it happens all the time.
I could see why.
That one is pretty understandable, yeah 😀 Doesn’t stop you feeling awfully discomposed, though.
