You Know You Are Old When

So that's why. I liked it better when I was addressed in the waiting room as Mr. last name.

There is nothing wrong with calling out the first name only. When I hear my first name, I stand up and smile as I walk toward her, but it just seams a little forward, especially after a lifetime of Mr. name.

And sometimes it can get confusing. Sometimes more than 1 person named John is in the waiting room.

True… so we then would say John here for Mary

Many ways to get in trouble…

I'm not inclined to give my email or other personal information out at any point of sale.

I am the same way. They want it, but I have no need for them to have it.

If you are about to go into some building and a woman is near or approaching the same spot, you better open the door and let her go first. If she's with a husband or guy, you open the door and let them both go first...

I do that for anybody; it's a matter of common courtesy. Yet many women seem to prefer that you slam it in their face.

Tell them to take a chill pill and you meant no disrespect trying to figure out what they are when they had to change their own minds on who they were

It's no different if someone wishes me a happy Hanukah even if I'm not Jewish or me wishing someone else a Merry Christmas if their not Christian. As long as the intent isn't ill willed, get over yourself.

In retrospect after that last sentence, I have no reason to get ticked off if someone calls me "sweety" with no ill will intended.

That's my exception as well. If they ooze snotting nosed be-eitch with a holier that thou attitude and an arrogant expectation of being served because she's superior, it's not happening with me.

It’s a combination of State and Federal monies through Medicaid and Medicare and being politically correct in California.

Not unusual for vendors to request pronouns when contracting.

Corporate is also on board through required Training.

Sure she's not taking steroids?
Like I mean... look at that facial hair.

I have seen many people say the same thing. Myself I have never come across that.
