Do You Ever Feel Like Your Invisible ??  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life 2 years ago

My hubby and I recently got home from our running around because we got a late start with my hubby giving his friend a ride somewhere late this afternoon. Anyways, Walmart was one of our last stops because they are open later then the other stores we needed to go to! So anyways I didn't really clue in or even notice that this had been happening just about all night but I think I was invisible for a few hours tonight! I say this because people were constantly cutting in front of me, almost hitting me with their carts, and just being rude. This lady at Walmart was ahead of me going down the body wash isle but I know she saw us because she smiled at Chloe (my 5 month old) ... anyways she all of a sudden stops almost making me crash into her! And if that wasn't bad enough she just about hit me 2 times after that going through the isles and not watching where she was going. She never apologized or anything either, and when she looked in my direction she wouldn't look at me, just in my direction! Do you ever feel like your invisible at the supermarket or Walmart? Have you ever had someone completely in another world almost run into you a few times? Were they rude about it or did they apologize?

Hi oddly I had the s ame experience in Walmart at christmas time, and this was a grumpy old man about my age. He bashed into my leg, then growled something and just moved on. I was looking for my favorite brand of Peanut butter and here cameGrumps , he banged into my cart, then backed up and glared at me, and went down another aisle. then I went to the clothing area and was looking at tops. wham a young mom backed her cart into my right knee and i thought I was going to pass out.it must have hit a nerve or something. she just went right on down the aisle as though nothing had happened. the clerk putting clothes back asked me if I wanted to sit down, she had a chair in a sort of cubby hole. she helped me sit down and brought me a glass of cold water and several aspirin I was so glad to sit down and wait for the pain to subside. she told me she had seen that young mom before and she was always bumpingdevil into people then just walking away. grrrrrrrrr.dunce capevil grin

Oh wow! That is horrible, especially when they glare at you as if it's your fault that THEY ran into you! angry Some people can just be so freakin' rude and I don't know how people can be that oblivious and not know what is going on around them! Another one I hate is when your behind someone and they run into someone they know and they start talking while blocking the whole isle so you can't get around! thumbdown Not kewl!

I don't know why, but people seem to notice me.

Both the roomie and I try to get the riding carts, her because of her back and me because of my feet.

People are always cutting her off or stopping in front of her - or letting their small demon-spawn loose around here.

She's almost hit numerous people, and missed them because she's spotted them just in the nick - and this is good because she's really blind!

She told me about this one lady wandering around the aisles at Walmart, talking on the phone not letting ANYONE past her! While she yapped away on the phone

Finally she got around her, and told her to pay attention while she was at it.

all the woman did was give her the fish eye.

The next aisle over, the dumb woman walked in front of a guy in a cart and he hit her!


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

Yep I have seen that all before too! A person yacking on their cell phone and NOT paying attention to everyone else around them! They are very hard to get around! I know that one from personal experience too! Or 2 people that happen to know eachother strike up a conversation while blocking the whole darn aisle so none can get by!angry Some people just make me so angry! Could have a bit to do with my stress level lately too though!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24693)   ranked 106 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

oh yeah, well, the cell phone-ers don't notice me, but most people talking seem to.

Like I said, I seem to get noticed for some reason - probably why I gave my character, Elic, that "gift."


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

That's awesome that you get noticed because I sure don't! People are constantly crashing into me!angry


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24693)   ranked 106 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

oh, there are many times I wish they wouldn't have noticed me - like in class and stuff


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

I don't feel invisable, but I really believe people are getting more rude and think/know they are the only person that matters and the world revolves around them! I will be looking at something in an aisle, reading what it says, and have people cut in front of me just to walk down the aisle! Why can't they go down a different aisle or walk in back of me? Why is it I have to move out of their way to go through! Thanks for the discussion.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

Good point! I have had people cut right in front of me to as I was about to reach for something on the shelf, I guess because going around me would just make too much sense!lol

The only thing I could say that I could relate is last Christmas when I was at a Best Buy. What happened was the opposite that happened to you. I wanted to buy this little game for my kid, yet I couldn't seem to get any attention of the sales associates. One would be in front of me, and I would be waving my hand. Yet, they would continue to talk to their headset, and completely ignore me.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

Yep, some places have really horrible "customer service" that's for sure!thumbdownI have noticed that Christmas seems to be the worst time for everything (rude people, unhelpful sales associates, LONG lines at the till, etc).


myLot reputation of 98/100. Christmas2006 (830)   ranked 399 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

And that is why I have gone to doing ALL my Christmas shopping...on line. Now think about this: comfort of your own home, take your time to look at what you want, noone shoving past you, interrupting you, hitting into you. No rude sales people, no long lines at the till,,and those, nope we don't have that, and its right there in front of them! Don't know where you live but for me, no snow and ice and cold to drive in, don't have to carry the stuff in the house, the ups does that for me! Just gets better and better!


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

angryYou are SO lucky! That does sound like an idea though Christmas ... to buy all of my Christmas gifts online! A lot less headaches that way with other shoppers! BUT then again I don't know if I would like that either because I try and get out every day! Staying home drives me crazy after a few days of not going anywhere! BUT unfortunately I live in Canada so their is going to be snow and ice and crap!cry


myLot reputation of 98/100. Christmas2006 (830)   ranked 399 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

After driving to work everyday in this snow and ice and the drifting I am so happy to be staying home. I have gotten very spoiled this winter. I drive to and from church and anywhere else I have to go my husband goes with me or I go with one of my growed up children! I still have to go out and get the groceries and I don't buy clothes on line or fabric. I love to sew. My best friend has family in Canada and we went there one year for 2 weeks. I love Canada. My husband use to drive Semi Truck and we went from Michigan through Canada and into New York. We live in Southern Michigan...oh guess you all ready figured that out.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

I love Canada too and I feel very fortunate to be living here! I'm not too crazy about the winters are they are VERY cold and I hate the ice and snow ... BUT ... even worse then that I HATE the rude shoppers at Walmart!angry

I know of what you are saying Teddy, but no it does not happen to me, because I put up this invisible shield around me, but I think others can see it, because they do not get anywhere near my space, or I think they think they might be in some trouble if they tried to do that to me.angryangry


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

Before I had kids it used to be that way for me! None would even think of running into me! If they saw me walking down the aisle they would get out of my way, and if by chance (the VERY odd time) someone ever did get in my way they would apologize left, right, and centre! BUT I guess that now I have kids I have more patience for rude and inconsiderate arseholes or something!lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. OceanTiara (6977)  2 years ago

Oh yes, I forgot the children with you Teddy for sure you can't be kicking people's **sses with the kids there LOL
I can't either anywhere for if my son sees me do that, then that's his cue to do the same..not cool..we don't like do to damage..non violence right?lolhappythumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

Exactly, I am trying to set the best example I can for my kids! I don't want to be one of those "Do as I say not as I do" kind of parents! thumbdownI want to be a "lead by example" kind of parent!thumbup

LOL sorry hun but this is a regular occurence at our local supermarket, usually on a Saturday when the place is packed with people, and inevitably there are crashes, bumps, collisions and other incidents. I have been rammed so many times that I feel I should be wearing protective body armour just to get the weekly shop. It does get on my nerves, more than I would like to admit sometimes, but what winds me up is when there is no apology or acknowlegement, just another hit and run.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

I hear you hun ... hit and runs are the worst. I mean it's one thing to not notice you for whatever reason, but to know that they hit you and just take off with no apology or anything! People have seriously gotten ruder and more inconsiderate the last few years. Is getting to the point where around Christmas I don't even want to look at a store!

I haven't been in such situation. I really don't how to react if I were in your situation because it's a bit scary to feel like your invincible and I might feel irritated as well if they wont apologize.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

Yes, it is kind of frusterating having people acting like your not even there! Oh well life goes on as they say!lol

yes i also have the same feeling and experience of being ignored by my special someone. it just like you do not exist and you really just want to go out of that situation.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

Exactly! I wasn't ignored by a special someone though, it was just other shoppers at the store that seemed to "not see me".

Yes..many times supermarket, they are the worst..I got totally invisible for those 2 hours. Well rather i dont have to walk, the crowd takes me and leaves me at place where i dont need to go lol.. Sometimes I dont even realise where i am and which way is that..however they apologize no issues!


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

Wow! At least they apologized to you for it! Most people don't get an apology for it at all! Most people just become victims of a "hit and run" especially around Christmas times and/or when the store is packed!

lucky there is no Walmart at my country...hehehe... well kidding aside to be honest even if each country has provided education for most of their people there will still be people who are rude and this does not goes with the education one person takes but its the character of the person. and needless to say there are really still a lot of rude people anywhere in the world. Its a sad fact. and sometimes your temper will hit to its highest point that you will surely bust out and will lash out the nearest person that did it to you. To me i just try my best to stay calm as i can and be very very very alert with my reflexes to avoid them rude people.


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4614)   ranked 63 out of 32,962 in life  2 years ago

I always have my kids with me when I got to Walmart, and they keep me calm. Even if they weren't/aren't with me I still behave myself! BUT your right sadly their are rude people everywhere in this world!
