A man?
I went in to exchange my license today - I'm in the US for a visa/business trip (which I'll have to tell you about at some point) and after the last fiasco where I lost my license, had to go in to replace it, etc. I figured it was easier to get myself a Florida license. - You walk in and pick it up then and there, no getting it sent to you in 4 to 6 weeks, no issues with the receiver's name on the box, etc. and yes, I can replace it online if I need it. YAY!
So yes, I went in to do just that and it was all going quite well. I answered all the questions quite well; no DUI or restrictions ever (12 years) - which I'm proud of, TTL - they even rated me a safe driver on my license - yay. No psychiatrist has ever termed me mental (though as the lady next to my examiner told me, "if you were, you wouldn't even know or admit to it". HA!), and I still use corrective lenses. :D I also measured myself twice to see if I'm still 5'10 (yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am still 5'10 - I'm sorry, that's just what the measuring tape tells me each and every time - even the official ones), and they then print it out real quick, I pick up my license and am trying to accept the way I look in the pic (on a rate of 1 to 10 I'm perhaps a 6), and we're pulling out of the drive-way, when I look at the license to double-check the address is right, etc. and notice that by the "Sex" they put "M". - An M!!!!! At first I thought perhaps that was the class of license, but no, its really the sex.
Hello! I am NOT a man!
So we swing around and I walk in to the place again, probably blushing from embarrassment, the receptionist sees me and asks me what's wrong now (in a joking manner), to which I tell him that they wrote me up as a man. - Ha! He tells me to go right up to that examiner and give him a piece of my mind. :D (The examiner was so sweet and friendly, why would he think me a man?)
At any rate, I got the examiner and asked him why he thought I was a man! - And of all days I was wearing a dress. - Yes, a dress! I reassured him that what he saw was all natural. - A-L-L! ALL! I mean, I've NEVER been mistaken for a man before. Ha-ha!
The good news is that I got it replaced in 2 minutes which confirmed that I'm an "F" again (whew), and good thing the dude made that mistake on a woman that didn't take offense and just laughed it off, not assuming he actually thought I was one (God forbid!), but boy, oh boy, if he got one of those uglier women...ooohhh...scary thought! I'm sure his colleagues are going to let him have it - they were already calling out comments. HA!
Oh well, at least I can rest well knowing that I'm a woman again. ;)

Oh God that's awful. He probably needed some thick glasses,even then... he just got lucky with someone like you
hahahaha that so funny!!!! lol. cant belive someone would think that.....:P
Oh poor thing. That is such a funny (but a bit sad) story =D!! I loved the way you reassured him that what he saw was 'ALL NATURAL' hehe.
By the way, I think 5 10" is a great height. I'm 5 10 1/2 and I sometimes wish I was that half an inch shorter :)
That's a very funny story. To be honest with you I never checked my license for that. I guess I never figured they would make that kind of mistake. Then again someone told me that on my driver's license photo I look like a "good looking man", so I couldn't blame the people for putting an "M" down.
Yes, TG for a sense of humor. :)
Libby, you're 5.10 1/2? Do you wear heels? I used to not care (and don't if I'm trying to look good), but yeah, in Mexico its just a bit hard to wear those without feeling like a giant on stilts. :D
And Sylvia, I can't think of how you could simply look like a good-looking man! You're a hot woman ALL THE WAY! ;)
Hilarious! made me laugh....the world is so crazy, you never know...
