I just called Fed Ex because I am expecting a package. And just like Travelocity and Qantas, every single one of them said "Yes Mam" at first until I told them I was male.
You gotta set aside the ABBA and channel your inner Barry White, bud. Speak from your diaphragm and no one will mistake it.

When I was travelling through Vietnam I had hair down to me arse.
From behind I was constantly being called Madam.
So when I travelled through Malaysia and Indonesia a few years later I grew a giant beard.
It worked. I went from being madam to the wild man of Borneo.
Even the descendants of head hunters were quick stepping out of my way. :-)

There is an itchy "phase" when growing a beard. After a few days, it stops itching.

We are te same, you and i. People on The phone always think i'm a woman too. Sometimes even after i correct them. It's become a running gag amongst my coworkers.
