Miss Sassy Pants

This morning I stopped by Rite Aid to drop off a prescription. Rite Aid is a block away from where I work Downtown, so I went on my way to work. As I was parking my car, I saw a transvestite walking toward Rite Aid. He was very tall and very thin, about 65 years old, wearing white strappy high heels, cream colored slacks with a pink and white striped skirt over them, a pink shirt and a long cream colored sweater. He had on lots of jewelry. His thinning gray hair was tied back in a pony tail, bald spot on top be damned. I chuckled to myself as I parked, only because seeing something like that kind of throws you for a loop. Otherwise, I couldn’t care less that he was dressed as a woman.

As the timing had it, I ended up walking right behind him into the store. About 5 feet into the store, I threw my keys into my purse and they made the usual key jingle sound that keys do. The following conversation took place:

Tranny (with attitude): What did you say to me?
Me (surprised): I didn’t say anything to you.
He/She (with even more attitude): Well then Miss Sassy Pants, go ahead and walk in front of me. God forbid I slow you down.

I walked in front of him with some pep in my step only because he was behind me and I didn’t know if he was a Vietnam vet and knew some serious Kung-Fu moves or was digging a gun out of his purse or something. What I really wanted to do was turn back to him, point at myself and say, “Real woman,” then point at him and say, “Fake woman,” but reference the previous sentence.

So anyway, that’s how I started my day – by being verbally attacked by a transvestite and getting my favorite new nick name: Miss Sassy Pants.

haha! That is a pretty funny story...I would have to say the verbal attack might have been worth it just for the awesome nickname :-)

Not too many people can say they started their day almost getting into a rumble with a senior transvestite. Too funny. My morning seems dull now. ;)

Trannies crack me up. I used to live in a suburb of Cleveland that is well known for a large "alternative population". I lived in an apartment building that had a 7-11 next door. When going into the store at say, 3:00am, I would encounter some very interesting life forms. The trannies and the junkies were always my favorites....just so fun to gawk at.

A balding, older, male in a dress had the nerve to call you a name...

Miss Sassy Pants. Good one! lol

That's just too funny, and a good way to start the day, you have to admit that was funny and after an episode like that you should be ready to tackle your regular activities.
