Ring Ring

Ha, my phone finally rang this afternoon. It was the call I've been waiting for - the prospect who wants to view my vacuum cleaner. "Hello, can I speak to Mr..." He thought the seller is a guy. Hmm.... how did he arrive at that? Because I used only my initials in the ad? Because only guys will put up ads for such stuff? I was also mistaken for a 'brother' when I advertised to sell men's jeans some time ago. It's interesting how we tend to stereotype people, and to know how others stereotype us. I bet I'll have more people thinking I'm a guy if I advertise for the tech gadgets.
