| Horrible horrible hideous horrible event |

It makes me cringe to even think about it ... so quite obviously it makes sense to tell everyone about it. (By the way this story is told by Ms Paranoid, who is the loudest member of my head committee.)
So there I am walking along busy touristy street in busy touristy place flanking busy touristy Great Ocean Road when one young bloke says out loud "are you kidding, she's like 40" and he seems to be looking my way.
Now it's one thing that they looked about 12 but they were probably old enough to drive, but I'm not 40 (sniff) - I'm not even close to 40.
So I spent the rest of the day examining wrinkles (real and imaginary) in every reflective surface. Ouch, I mean OUCH.Labels: head committee |

some people make it really hard to grow old gracefully :(

And I actually hear 40 can be a very nice place to be as a woman ... now if only society thought that (damn it) I could walk the streets without being subjected that kind of rubbish from little dumb boys.
Sheesh listen to me.
-
Why do men feel like they can just speak their thoughts out loud at women anyway?
Well actually I think they all have an inherent inability to whisper ;)
-
Quelling Ms Paranoid now ... as have quite obviously gone a tad overboard in conversation being held purely with myself.
-
I can relate...well, eh... kinda. I just turned 30 on Friday. But it is not about age... but the stinkin' social stigma that people think 30 (or 40 or 10000) is ungodly old! Well, good luck and be thankful that that you were not mistakenly given the senior citizen discount!

Oh I'd take any discounts anyone is prepared to offer me! Particularly on shoes.
And, er, welcome to the club old man ;)
