Oops, identity wrong, how was I to know?

In the Service Station buying a paper. The guy was stacking shelves down at floor level.
"I will just get a Paper, Mate" (Mate is what we call guys we do not know")
The Guy stood up and was a Gal. Looked like a guy to me

When I lived in Oz, female friends often said "G'day Mate" to one another.

Yea a group of women, or girls, here in the colonies don't mind being called "guys." I've asked a number of times just to be sure, like with some of my female friends here at my retirement community, and with my daughters and granddaughters.

I've noticed that also. Maybe it's a Maryland thing?

I think many of us have made that mistake.
Don’t worry about it . It’s an honest understandable mistake.

I've been having trouble lately telling some old men from old women, and vice-versa.
