Stereotyping?

A total stranger looked me up head to toe, then remarked, "So, you're a secretary or something like that, eh?" and waited for my answer. I was non-responsive and the stranger walked away with an air of hey-I-was-spot-on! about him.

His remark offended me in a way. It's not that I have anything against secretaries, but it's the typified association of a person's clothing with a certain profession. How simplistic! Hmph..
