What is wrong with people! Long...

I wear a "purse" and challenge anyone to question my masculinity. I have a brand new hip right side and the left side is just about gone. My wallet is in my "purse" because there's no worse place for it than in your back pocket.

Usually a person on his/her own is going to be that evil. But when you get a group together the spin could be either positive or negative.

I'm sorry your friend had to go through that mess, it's probably a scar that keeps getting re opened. You are a thoughtful friend and probably made their taunting easier to take.
 
I think people are afraid of what they do not understand. I am so sorry that your girlfriend had to endure this, but at least you were there for her this time. Sadly, I am sure this will not be the last.

Remind your friend that there are people that admire her bravery and conviction to be true to herself.

I know many men that carry a "man bag" as they call it. It IS practical! I see it often in Europe, especialy in northern Europe. A pink one may turn some heads though! Haaa. But i also love a man that can wear pink! Hubby has a few shirts and ties in pink.
 
>>>>Sounds like some people never get past the playground mentality of having to do whatever their group does, no matter how cruel it is.


Yep. Those type of "women" start young and rarely change. My 7-year old DD is already experiencing mean girls.


And, good for you for saying something!
 
Hi Dave!

I have often heard about wallets being bad in bad pockets. My DH had to change his money and cards to his front pocket as his wallet actually cause a cyst to errupt. BTW, how is your hip replacement coming along?

I don't know about people sometimes. Life is so hard just living it, but when you add rudeness and just plain being mean, to enjoy others discomforts, that is truly unkind. I don't have an answer for you. Please give your friend a hug, she may need it.

Sorry to hear of you and your friend's unpleasant lunch. It reminded me of instances when 2 friends of mine have been mistreated for their looks. One friend has PCOS and has decided that if God decided she should have this incurable condition for which one of the symptoms is facial hair, then she was going to quit trying to hide/disguise/eliminate it, worked to accept her body and its imperfections and allowed the facial hair to grow into a very well-kept goatee and mustache -- she has endured many attempted public humilations because of her decision, but I'm proud of her for standing up for her beliefs and her courage and self-esteem/confidence in going against the norm. The other friend is obese and has weighed well over 300 pounds at her highest weight (her doctor's scales didn't go high enough to accurately weigh her). I've been amazed at the negative, nasty looks, comments, poor service we've rec'd when out to dinner together. It's as tho people think she shouldn't even be allowed to have a pleasant meal out since she's so large. People can be very cruel and this friend doesn't have the same self-confidence/esteem as my friend with PCOS and the treatment she recieves doesn't help motivate her to change, instead it makes her retreat more into herself and avoid public places and maintain this unhealthy weight as a way to cope withe rejection. It's sad ... we should all evaluate our beliefs from time to time and consider how our prejudices can negatively impact others. Thanks for your post! Makes me appreciate what I have and the diversity God has given us! Deb
 
I'm so sorry for you and your friend. Seems like it's the history of mankind (and womankind) to belittle and castigate anyone that's not the same as they are.... just look at the state of our world.

But try to remember the people you know and love who AREN'T that way... and who are always trying to make things better. That's what I do when stuff like this gets me down.
 
RE: Hi Dave!

My right hip has never been better, titanium rocks! I see the Ortho surgeon Thursday to talk about the left one. Thanks for the concern.
 
Yeah for you! I'm not one to go and tell people off in public, but it seems like they were being rather public, so why the hell not!!!! "IT" what a hideous comment. Even dogs and cats are refered to with gender. An "it" is an object, sad to say that is exactly how those ladies treated your friend. She is lucky to have you!
 
Good for you for standing up for your friend! I like to believe in the innate good within people...but some people are just plain a**holes!!!! You go girl!!!!

Dear Brigitte,

I am so sorry your friend had to go through something like that. I hope your comments to those women made them take a long hard look at their reprehensible behavior. Good for you for giving them a piece of your mind!
 
Hello Brigitte
I wanted to comment on this,but just never got the chance!I hope your friend didn't give those pitiful excusses for women a second thought! I also experience something similiar whenever I go off with my brother,hes mentally challenge,and a one in a million person! We also get the looks and the wispers!I get tired of it,and sometimes wisper to my brother and look at them back,(I know its imature)and they usually stop!It just seems that manners are no longer taught!(or remembered)

Please tell your friend that she is always welcomed on this site,were a confident,supportive,happy bunch of gals:D :7 !
 
I am so sorry those women were so rude and they are hags for behaving so badly, I am so sorry they hurt your friend so badly, she is a great lady from what you say, I am so proud that you stood up for you and her. I had almost the same thing only it was me some were laughing at, I went to Sizzler with my hubby and we were sitting two tables across from two couples seated at a booth, they were looking at me and laughing, and they kept staring, I asked my hubby what is wrong with me he said I looked fine and that I looked great, so what were they laughing at? I have no idea but I wanted to snap at them, but I controlled my self. Some people today have NO manners at all.
