Eddie - your comment, and that of Henry remind me of John Flynn's stories. Have you ever heard him speak? He tells similar nightmare trips in which he could not get waited on, and everyone kind of "gave him space". He said it was really hard for a man to walk into a quilt shop when he first got started, and sometimes even now.
And I still have nightmares about going to a car mechanic :D Used to get so frustrated and down right MAD when they treated me like I was just a stupid female (well, I was dumb about cars but I was smart enough to know when something was wrong with it. :twisted:
