Taking advantage of a mistake

Buying some groceries today, a staff member waved me over to a checkout that was just opened and said 'here you go mama'. Unless I just misheard, I think I was mistaken for being pregnant and they did that to get me served faster... 🤔

Have you ever got better service from mistaken identity or a misunderstanding? Would you own up, or go with it?

If I have one hand on my belly and one hand on my back in the classic pregnant pose people open doors for me.

@Kerrieatwell which sort of door? Double door? ;)

I used to get waved into the 10 item or less line as a “senior citizen” favor if things were slow.

I've had that haopen, it was on public transport and I was offered a seat. I took it, because it was loud and too hard to explain/not worth the hassle. And I got to sit down.

I dunno in the bit of the UK I'm in it wouldn't be unheard of to call a chubby girl a "big ol' mama", so maybe it was that.

Got a coffee once and noticed it was cheaper than usual. When I got back to the car and checked the receipt, I saw “Senior Discount”.
I dunno, i think some people use the term as generic pet name for any female people

Yes, some of the 70s styles were big and loose.

I was given “front line hero” treatment at a fast food place and it just made me feel awkward.

Congratulations on your pregnancy btw. It’s not mine, is it? 😉

@StevetheSleeve I think you misunderstand 😅 The key word is 'mistaken' for being pregnant 🙂

I am always very careful about that. What a horror ble thing to say to a woman never without knowing.

This is embarrassing but when she was younger (5) my daughter locked herself in the bathroom and cut off her hair

A close cut was really the only way to go

Her nanna took her out and this lady in a shop gave her a free bit of jewelry

As they were leaving the woman said,"good luck with the treatment"
