I work at an indie bookstore n every time I’m called ma’am or miss by a customer I put a coin in a jar called the Ma’am Jar and once it gets full my manager’s gonna buy me boba and I gotta say it feels pretty powerful

Hello I am also happy to meet you!, how are you doing? :'D

Joke aside, this made me burst out laughing AND it was painfully relatable at the same time, haha. It happens at times even after picking a name, though less of course - it's this awwwkwaaaard split second where you have to introduce yourself to new people, and you and your friends in the know hesitate between outing you or having to deadname you during the whole thing...

(Only slightly related, but I realized recently that "ND" sounded like the name Andy and it made me smile :'))

Bonus: f*ck gendered bathrooms. Long live gender neutral bathrooms.

Lol it’s so problematic that they’re right next to eachother I don’t think about it until I’m right there and then I’m like deer in the headlights

I work at a university tho so I’m never too far from an all-gender bathroom
