I don't know why this hurt my feelings so much

I went to a pot luck lunch at the YMCA. Everyone was nice and complimenting how good G is and what a cutie he is. I was trying to hold him and eat at the same time, and I guess my shirt rode up in the back.

Some old lady comes over and said "Excuse me Mr. _____ would like you to pull your shirt down" and points to this old man. I was taken off guard so I just pulled my shirt down and said "Oh sorry".

Now I am really hurt/pissed. Who the hell says stuff like that to strangers. It's a YMCA where 80 year old women wander around in bathing suits. Is my lower back really that offensive?

    if this makes you feel any better, when I first read your post, I thought you were saying that the woman called you "Mr."  at least *that* didn't happen!

    He's just a crotchety old man- don't take it personally & ignore him!  Although I know I would be pissed too.

    Do you have a tattoo in that area? I don't see the big deal either but perhaps he was intimidated by the sight of your back? I dunno. Don't let it get to you.

    You said yourself that it was an older man, I wouldnt worry to much.  You werent showing tons of skin on purpose and they werent being rude about it.

    Ah ok. That tattoo says it all...meaning that's probably why he asked you to cover up. I meant intimidating as in....the sight of skin of a youthful woman may have been to exciting for him. I was trying to find a better way of saying he may have been excited.

    I know, I know. He was just a conservative old man. But it still hurt a little.

    Nah, your lower back was probably turning him on. You probably have a really sexy back. Wink
