Random storytime

Once I was in line for security at an airport. I had just gotten through and was waiting for my stuff. When i reached for my bag I bumped someone in a striped shirt.

I automatically blurted out “oh! Excuse me ma’am I am so sorry.” I turned my head after saying that to see a guy at least 8 inches taller than me with a huge beard.

He looked absoluted delighted by my mistake. “Really? Ive never been called Ma’am before! Thanks!” And strolled off with his roller bag.

I was both relieved and mortified by my mistake.
