OMG, I had that kind of stuff happen when I was pregnant with my oldest son too. Sometimes I would get someone who would actually ask to touch my belly, but other times people would just go for it, without even asking. I hated that. It was like, "step off!" I learned my lesson though. When I was pregnant with my twins, I had my arms cradled around my belly almost constantly and would look at someone who had that "I'm going to grab your belly look in their eyes" with a stare that said "don't you even DARE!" *lol*
haha...yeah. people do do that when you are pregnant. my favorite trick, when someone asked when i was due, was to stare at them blankly and say, 'what do you mean?' hahaha... or after the baby was born, 'when did he get that blonde hair?' when seeing me and x together with him...i mean really...i guess it is a relatively harmless question, but what if we'd adopted him and didn't want to talk about it, or something like that? i would say, 'the postman'...and the person would laugh awkwardly lol
. that is one thing that's going to drive me insane. Even though i look at pregnant girls with an "aww" look on my face, it's gonna piss me off when im sweating, and achy and sick to my stomach cuz i have a fetus in me the size of a watermelon kicking my ribs, and some asshole is like OoOoOGagA gOOGOOo let me pet your belly!!!!!!
Oh man, this thread reminds me of my freshman year. I was at my locker when this girl who was a senior and her junior boyfriend whose lockers were near mine comes up to me and she grabs my hair! It was SO weird, she was like, "Oh, sorry, I just have had the urge to do that since I first saw your hair. It's soooo beautiful! I'm not a lesbian, I swear to god." Her boyfriend just sort of shuffled back and forth on his feet and looked uncomfortable. I was just weirded out by the whole experience, but ironically, I ended up dating the guy earlier this year, hehe. I wonder if he remembers that? Also, I was talking to one of the secretaries at my high school about my GPA when the counselor (who was standing beside me) just reaches out and starts stroking my hair...I know it's really long and stuff, but it doesn't exactly look touchable (to me anyway) and I have this real issue with people touching me. Especially her! Ick...People are soooo annoying.
This thread is funny to me because people are always touching my hair or my face. They're always like "Oh your hair is so long" or "Oh your cheeks are so rosy." I don't know exactly why they touch my face since it's rosy, I guess they expect it to feel warm or something. Who the hell knows?!?! Anyway, it's very annoying!!!
My mother was a cheek pincher...that sucked... Y'all have cracked me up!! ty~* grab their face and count their teeth,lol, rub their tummies, heehee. I been accused of dressing in the dark as well, and if people ask if I'm a hippie, I tell 'em I reckon if you need to label people ( and sometimes go as far as pointing and saying "and thats a black person, thats a redneck, and you are a yuppie, prep..."), or that depends what a hippie is to you, or lastly, no...I'm a human be-ing
does anyone else find this with tattoos aswell? Strangers seem to see it as an invite to look at your tattoo. My friend has a huge one on her lower back and we were standing in line at a concert when someone lifted up her shirt to look at it, she was like what the fuck are you doing? 'oooh just looking at your tattoo, did it hurt? It's so pretty, what does it all mean!'.
oh man i've seen people do this before, and i get pissed for the person they're doing it to. I don't mind when people ask about mine....because i LOVE looking at other people's tattoos, but i usually try to get to know them first...or like, start a conversation then be like...."hey do u mind if i check out ur tats?" i love them, the stories behind them, and it just teaches you so much about a person. But to just strip some strangers clothes off is just FOOLISH!
When I was little it was the late 70's and my mom dressed me in cute little bell bottoms. Then I went through a real tom boy stage where I only wore striped tees and boys jeans. Then in the 80's I was into the punk thing. After that I found some embroidered bell bottoms at the store and loved them. I had always dresses differently and made some of my own clothes. I did try the prep thing in junior high to see if people would like me, nope so I went back to what I liked. In high school I was kind of grunge/hippie, always had on a flannel shirt and my combat boots, still do sometimes. These girls always stopped me in the hall in the morning to see what I was wearing they called it the "fag fashion report" and everyone called me the "hippie fagget of Rockland High". Strange thing is no one in high school seems to remember who I am now. If I see any of them in the store they will talk to me and be really friendly not having a clue that I went to school with them and I still dress the same!
Girls like that are simply un-avoidable....there pretty much everywhere. It sucks but Ive learned its easiest to just ignore them and be nice back. You dont have to be friends with them or anything just smile and say "oh" haha its always been easiest for me i dont know about you but thats just how i am i guess... Ever since like junior high i think i can pretty much say we have all had to deal with them...I just realized that sure there going to piss the shit out of me but i dont want to listen to them so walk away with a smile i guess....i think i worded this whole post way weird haha but it made sense to me....
so reminds me of this time I was at this SXE show ... Mind you,I'm not straight edge. Im not any core. XfuckingXstupidXifXyouXaskXmeX...but I was that being nice. I'm a genuinely nice person...anyhoo... This fellow named Jesse comes up to me and is going on and on about how cute I looked. I had on a green sweater, a black tank top, a patchwork orange wrap skirt, and some sandles...but he thought it was the most amazing thing to find someone of his own kind. I guess he decided that since I was dressed like I was I must like Phish, like he did. (Which is funny because I hated phish at the time..I've grown to love them though )...but yeah. He went on and on about how cute I was and how he wanted to do *explicit things* to me...b/c of my outfit. I grew to like the kid, too, but what a first impression. Eep. He's a bit of a yuppie, but desperately wanted me to befriend him because of how I was dressed. Eh, we value unique,I guess.
you know, i get excited sometimes when i see people dressed like me....it seems they're very few and far between around here. There's always like some underlying bond...and you kinda head knod and smile at each other. I like it :&
i definately agree with that, that's why i love shows so much cause you can wander around and you're not like getting gawked at due to your clothes mostly its just people going "ohh i like that did you make it?" and to respond yes just kinda gives you that little boost you need. i live and grew up in a very small town and i will go to our little wal-mart to buy stuff and people i used to go to school with are freaking out going "oh my god! that is so cute! i saw something like that at american eagle!!!" and i kinda look at them and say "well that's nice, but i made this so.. i kinda doubt it was the same.." but i say it real nice so until i've walked off they don't realize how much of an ass they are... but i do enjoy my style... nice to know you ladies (and gents) do to.
oh I soooo feel your pain lucy!!!! I live in a place where being getto is a fashion trend. LOL so when people see me they think I'm weird! lol, I'm just like "dude you like to wear your pants almost around your ankles, and I'm weird! okie dokie"
oh man, that's how it is here too green. People are like "straight up" gangster here, i mean....people think they're in compton here, they actually call this small town just outside of Windsor, called Tecumseh "Tecompton" people have fake bullet holes on their cars (mini vans especially). Every white guy thinks he's a rich italian mobster, and every italian thinks he's Enrique Iglesias. Every black guy thinks he's Xhibit, and every girl thinks shes Paris Hilton....and this is like every day, even at the mall. Walkin around in stilletos (sp? dont care lol) and glittery tops. People look at me like i crawled out of a garbage....like they just dont understand what my outfit is doing. I hate people so much. lol
some of us really like dreads and we will pass comments. I kinda see it though, as I have pants pockets length red hair and I get comments a lot... you'll probably relate to this one: "how do you wash it?" dm dread afficiando
same as over here! it's really sad! i was just thinking about this today when I was on the bus. all the girls that we stopped to pick up were wearing black eye-liner right dark and thick, tight jeans wiht their asses hanging out, their hair in their faces, and just looked down-right bitchy! they all get on and walk right to the back, looking at us people sitting in the more front area of the bus as though we're aliens! i don't get it! why is it so cool to be bitchy and scowl at everyone cuz they don't like like them? mystery to me. then there's the guys, lol. walkin around with their pants down to their ankels, grabbing their crotch, walkin like they'se just the shit. meanwhile we live in a farm kinda city. I just have to laugh my ass off. it's too funny! then they look at me like i'm from another planet. it's funny to watch sometimes. other times its just sad. lol
Like oh my gooosh don't people like know that like it's not like vintage if it was made like two weeks ago in a sweat shop?!
