Man, that be a fun day. Go, see, watch buyers vie for highest price, keep hands in pockets, come home pleased....

 

Thanks!

 

How did the first day go?

 

Cascadia life

 

#### that was close !

 

I'd like to start a petition to build a bridge that spans the entire length of new mexico

 

Now I'm not one to judge people. But I went to pay for my snacks I picked up in the truckstop.

Guy asks if I want a bag

"yes please."

Card thing dings and he hands me my items and I say "thank you sir!".

" don't call me sir, I prefer they/them"

" ok, thank you them"

I hate to laugh at it , but it sounded so stupid when I said it outloud, I couldn't help myself but smile. And he looked even more offended than when he was a sir.

I walk back to my truck questioning the English language. If I see a guy I say sir if I see a woman I replace sir with ma'am... now I will have to add they/them to my vocabulary and come up with a grammaticaly correct phrase for saying thank you to them.

 

I usually just go with a "Thank you, Much appreciated" No disrespect for those of any gender or self perceived cultural elitism.

I started that way before all this crap went down cause I do not use Sir/Madam unless they are known military officers. Used to be around/ work with too many Military Chiefs......

 

I have decided on my personal pronoun......
"Your Excellency"

Going forward, this is how I shall be referred to. Anything less than that will be considered 'dead naming' and consequences will follow.

Carry on
