I’m a 22-year-old woman and I did some on-site freelance design work for a 70-something man.
Client: (at my office door) What’s the little girl working on?
Me: I’m not a little girl.
Client: You’re not?
Me: No.
He didn’t seem to take that first no seriously though because he called me a little girl again the next day.
Me: I’m still not a little girl.
Client: You’re not?
Me: No.
Client: Is that an offensive thing to be called?
Me: Yes, I’m a college educated professional.
Client: Well, what can I call you?
Me: My name. Miss. Basically anything other than “little girl.”
Client: That’s cute.
