The answer for me is yes, it’s glaringly obvious and have had a life of point and stares.
I’m used to it but sometimes it still cuts really deep. And by that I mean tearfully so at times. It’s more my family and friends that it bothers more at the time. And again, being honest, that’s usually worse for me as it;
A) Brings to my attention something I’d either not seen or chosen to ignore, or
B) Usually causes a scene. Something that, at 53 years of age, I do my utmost to ignore and admit it’s a large part of why I go out less and less now.
At 53, I’m pleased to say I do look a lot younger and I too have had the “You’re not old enough” discussion but as soon as I’m out of the car I’m faced with a clamped mush and quietness.
I too have had the apology from badge warriors and to be honest, it doesn’t bother me at all.
Disabled and parent parking bay abuse really annoys me, it always has.
My brother-in-law’s spoilt brat of a cousin and his wife are right at the top of the list for this. It’s caused a number of arguments over the years. Most at the front of supermarkets.
? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
