Got on the tram home and there were no seats so was stood up with a load of other people when a girl got up and offered me her seat and wouldn't sit back down again!

Am guessing I'm either looking old or pregnant!!!

It's not like the arthritis is obvious...hmmmmm.......

Question Author
Probably not far off the same age as me.
A woman at work said she went to the cinema and didnt notice till she got home that her ticket said Reduced pensioner price, or words to that effect.
She isnt retired.
Hi Jenna,
anyone over the age of 30 is considered ancient to those younger, so dont let it get to you! lol! xxx

Nooooo!

I was at a networking breakfast thing and chatting to two older women who were talkng about kids, my colleague turned to me and said that it would be my turn shortly to which the other lady asked me when I was due (thought that was what my colleague meant and was wearing a big floaty top).

When I told her I wasn't pregnant she just looked mortified and kept over apologising in case I thought she was saying I looked big lol :)
****** it Jenna, lifes too short! xxx
(rugger) :0)

Jenna, were you affected by the power cut the other day?
Question Author
Nah, I hate the compensation culture stompe, despite my job (don't do that kinda stuff).

No Sachs, we were Ok, heard people got stuck in lifts in the Arndale and such though on the radio! Suprised it didn't as we're only by Albert Sq!

Was there one round Blackley way as well? My friend was at a funeral round there yesterday and mentioned something.

Jenna, that happened to me in a hotel in Rome. The concierge took one look at the bulge under my coat (it was actually a combination of my stomach and my handbag) and asked when I was due.

He was mortified when I responded "no love, I ain't pregnant, I'm just fat".

She probably thought you just looked knackered and more in need of a seat than she was!
I remembered you worked centrally & I thought it might have affected you. Yes, a council building ( Hexagon Tower ?) in Higher Blackley too!
I work on Oxford road Jenna, did'nt touch us though.
-- answer removed --
God it is amazing how we can be happily ticking along in life & then be stopped to think about ourselves just by someone saying or doing something to/for us? I understand how you feel. I was asked if i'd ever had a nose job by a complete stranger........shocked & I think "gutted" as I assumed they thought I needed one?? Probably not but we analyse everything dont we.......I now look & study my nose as this comment certainly has given me a complex. I never gave my nose a 2nd thought before this asrehole had to open his mouth! Cheers mate!! LOL

Wierd goings on in Manchester huh!

Aww Barmaid!

I initially thought she might be getting off at the next stop but stayed on for quite a few more stops after that.

I do wear a big over the shoulder bag though which is black like my coat which may have had something to do with it lol :)

That and all the layers I've been wearing because of the cold.

I have to say I probably did look knackered and was very glad for the seat :)
I know I look bloody knackered at the moment Jen. I am finding that the work is still coming through, but the money ain't! Living on fresh air right now.

In your world, it must be even worse. At least in my world, people don't stop dying, even if we can't then sell their houses!

helpmepls, how rude were they!

Years ago I was in Morrisons cafe and saving a seat while my mum grabbed some coffees.

An older gentleman came and sat near me and started chatting away so I politely chatted back.

He asked me when the diet was starting as no man would want to walk down the aisle with a fat bird on his arm!!!

I was all of a size 12!
Jenna.....I'v got to say I actually laughed out loud with what I just read! I'm sure you didnt feel that way when that horrible rude old git said that to you. How very very rude!!! Size 12.....good god! I think some old people say rude things on purpose.... I think their just jealous coz their old. Hee He. Like when you hold doors open for em & they simply walk on through without a thanks! Rude!! x
