Don't Point that thing at me!

People suck. As I was standing in line for coffee this morning, there were two demanding women in front of me. The employee, trying to say courteous was "Mam" this, and "Mam" that. When it was my time to order, the employee said, "Can I help you Mam?" I responded with "Sir." Confused, he said "What?" And one of the ladies answered for me and said "Don't pay attention to him, he's just a jerk on a power trip." Yes, I'm the kind of jerk on a power trip that does not like my gender confused. Maybe because of my shaved head she thought I was in the military, forcing people to call me sir. If she only had a camera.
