- I got called Mrs. Lastname twice by strangers.
- I ran into an ex-boyfriend. [Most of the men I know -- including ex-boyfriends -- are really wonderful guys and I am very fond of them. But there are exceptions every once in a while, and this one is an exception. Ugh.]
- I stopped at a local sandwich place for lunch and was asked, "are you two paying together?" I said no -- I had no idea who the guy in line behind me was -- and the cashier said, very loudly, "You're here ALL ALONE?!?" Because no woman could ever walk into a chain sandwich restaurant and say yes, she's dining in.
- I was in a 45-minute meeting with one other woman and a man. The man -- who was not originally supposed to be attending the meeting -- interrupted me and the other woman again and again and again. I got three uninterrupted comments in. She got two. The meeting was supposed to be between the two of us, and we got a total of five sentences.
