Awkwardly helpful!!!

Soooooooooo as you all know, I loooove Trader Joe’s!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeellllll one day I was at Trader Joe's stocking up on my favorite sweet and spicy jarred jalapeños, when I noticed a very tall broad-shouldered man that was trying to be a woman. I'm thinking in my head liiiiiiike really bro, it's NOT happening!!! 
.
Buuuuuut whateverrrr, ain't none of my business, the aisle was soooooo crowded and I just needed to get my stuff and be on my way to prayer at church. As I'm getting my stuff, I heard something behind me fall to the ground. I looked and it was THE MAN TRYING to be a lady, and a thing of oatmeal had fallen out of HIS basket. I waited to see if they would realize it had fallen, buuuuuut after about 20 seconds of this person NOT realizing, I figured I would just BE HELPFUL!!! 
(BIGGGGGEST MISTAKE EVERRRRR;))))
.
I'm liiiiiiiiiiike, excuse me sir...No one turned around...I tried again, Excuse me sir! No one turned, i'm like right behind them...I'm like, maybe this man isn't turning cuz he identifies as a woman???? Does he expect me to say Ma'am???? This is soooooo weird....maybe i should just forget about the oatmeal on the floor...he doesn't really need it...SHOULD I SAY MAAAM?? NOOOOOO!!! I will NOT GIVE INTO THIS WORLD’s CONFUSION!!! I will NOT be politically correct, buuuuuut I WILL be a CHRISTIAN and help this poor CONFUSED MAN with HIS FOOD HE DROPPED!!!
.
One more time, very sweetly, “SIR, you dropped your oatmeal!!!”
.
All of the sudden, HE TURNS AROUND, GLARES AT ME AND SAYS...
EXCUSE ME???? ARE YOU TALKING TO ME??? ANNNNNND OMW...He was NOT trying to be a SHE, he SHE, REALLY WAS, A SHE!!! 
.
She was just REALLY, REALLY TALL, like taller than me and broader shouldered than me buuuuuut honestly she wasn’t even fat just biiiiiiiiiig!!!!
.
Ooooooooooops...guess I shoulda just gone with the whole, being politically correct thing and everything woulda been ok!!! It just got DEAD SILENT ON THE AISLE!!! Idk how many people were laughing buuuuuuut I was SCARED out of my wits!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! 
.
I was liiiiiiike, Ummmmmmmmmm... I mean, this lady was MAAAAAAD at me...I genuinely felt really bad....buuuuuuuuuut would it really help the situation if I apoligized to her for thinking she was a man, TRYING to be a lady???? (I didn't think so!) Soooooo i'm just like, ummmmm...UMMMM...UH, you dropped something... She snatched up that oatmeal and stomped out of the aisle!!! 
.

I was liiiiiiikkkkke MAAAAAAAAANNNN...it's NOT like I said it to be mean!!! We all have that akward mistaken identity moment right??? I mean someone mistook me for being pregnant once, (At Trader joe's) you didn't see me getting all hot like that!!! (I mean, he was like 4, and I was wearing a maternity looking top, buuuuuuut....bahahahahaaaa… he looked at me with absolute joy and was like mommy look there’s a BABY IN HER TUMM… that kids mom flung her hand over his mouth so fast I actually felt bad for him!! I mean he was sooooooo HAPPY for me…. I wasliiiiiike I WISH THERE WAS a baby in my tummy… I mean like I was married with a baby in my tummy!!! Lol anyways i said all that to say I’ve been mistaken for something I’m not too and I didn’t FREAK OUT…
.
I'm like, weeeeeeeeeeeellllll THAT WAS AWKWARD!!!! Next time I'm unsure of someone's gender, THAT OATMEAL IS STAYING ON THE FLOOR!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
