One that always annoyed me is when it is around the holidays, when stores advertise gifts for men. They always assume a guy is into toilet humor, beer humor, assuming they’re a lumberjack who needs to survive out in the wilderness, are into bbq-ing all of the time so gotta have those available all year around for some reason.

Even when I used to have identified myself as a guy, I never once fit into any of those traits. Just because guys grow beards, doesn’t always mean they’re chopping wood somewhere and always wearing plaid.

    So I had a similar experience. I was a vegetarian, I don’t like coffee, I don’t drink alcohol.

    First the waiter put the wine in front of me and the soda in front of my wife.

    Then I got the meat and she the veggie dish.

    Then finally she got the white tea and I the coffee.
