Babies: 9 - 12 Months

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.

    Yeah, I have a pretty large one. Yay tramp stamp... lol.

    I know, all 5 foot 2 inches of me is really intimidating :) 

  • Some people have nothing better to.  Ignore 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. 

  • that would of hurt my feelings too... old ppl suck sometimes.  You're a better person than me though I would of yanked up my underwear and had them stick out of my pants as well..

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