I was at a grocery store standing in line for my groceries and this indevidual was standing in front of me while reading a book. The line move a little so I wanted to tell the indevidual that the line was moving. so I said " Excuse me sir, the line just moved." The person looked back at me with a mean face. At that time I just realized she's a WOMAN!! How do I get out of that situation if I mistaken for sex on another person again? She got very short hair and I think she's a lesbian.

not sure how to get out of it, but to avoid it, don't use sir or ma'am, just say "excuse me but the line has moved"

What I do when in line at the store is say out loud "What is it about me that I always end up in the line for stupid people?"

I did this before--I smiled and said Oh, I am sorry... And she just smiled and laughed it off. I felt so bad. I saw this one person working at a gas station and I never figured out if their gender.

Just say sorry or just let it go. It's not your fault and you didn't really do anything wrong. If she looks like a guy, especially from behind...oh well...them's the breaks!

Misunderstandings happen, it's not you're fault, it just happens sometimes. If you feel it necessary then apologize and buy her some chiclets and smile.

Ha...well, you could yell...hey...there's Rosie O'Donnell..and point wildly. That ought to take care of it.

Don't say "ma'am" or "sir". Just say "excuse me" and then say what you want to say.
