Am I Invisible?

JAB - I'm in the same boat at 5 foot 2 inches and I sometimes too feel I am invisible. Recently in a shop, a tall man with a huge rucksack on his back (why do people go into crowded shops with big rucksacks dangling off their backs!) twice nearly swept me off my feet as he turned round and his rucksack caught me on the head - he just didn't see me!

Well done Gally and, no, I don't think you overdid it. I just wish that I was as outspoken as you. I would probably have muttered something and gone away feeling hurt and invisible

Oh Gally well done, I wish I was as brave as you, luckily I'm not in your position of being alone.The problem I have is being short just 5'1'' (very important that 1'') and people just don't seem to see me when we are walking in the town or in a crowd (DH is 6'2'') the original odd couple.Everyone walks in to me, I'm convinced I'm invisible,and sometimes it really hurts, every so often I'm afraid I'll be rather rude and shout at people to open their eyes. Think I'll have to get a bobble hat where the bobble lights up, perhaps people would see me then.

Oh dear - how frustrating for you. Is this chap losing his memory?

I am quite sure that you are not invisible - and very well done you for getting out and about when it must feel a big challenge.

Just returned from a social occasion, which is hard enough these days now I am on my own, where I was, yet again approached by the male half of a couple who said for about the 5th time in as many months, 'I am Ian, Have we met before?' I'm afraid I gave it to him real and proper. 'Yes we have met on numerous occasions and you knew my late husband very well at Rotary and you know full we'll my name is Gally'. Oh dear, do you think I over did it? He did come over and say 'goodbye Gally' when they left wink
