It’s Official, I’m a Full Grown Man
The last few times I’ve gone shopping I’ve been addressed as sir. I’m sure that’s how they’re instructed to address customers, but I was totally aware that there wasn’t the slightest bit of thought within the salesperson that I was young and sexy enough to be buying the clothes I was purchasing. Their use of sir was filled with a combination of pity and “good for you old dude, for trying to keep yourself looking attractive as you fight off death….”.
