No, "it" isn't an open invitation for you to ....
Go ahead and respond with your version of what "it" is ...
For me - it's my ink. Okay, I've got tattoos. So does a crapload of people. BUT, the fact my arms are visibily covered to my wrists does NOT give you an open invitation to ...
~ show me your ink. We're not all in a club. Having a tattoo isn't special. I don't put on a bra in the morning and then run up to everyone else wearing a bra and tell them HEY! LOOK AT MY BRA! I HAVE ONE TOOOOOO!!!!!
~ ask me any personal question under the damned sun. "Where do you get your work done?" Sure. But "How much did it cost?" and then following that up with "What do you do to have so much money to spend on that?" If/When I give you an answer. "what does it MMMEEEAAAANNNN?" Oh good lord. Shut the hell up. I LIKE it, okay? I'm not an episode of LA Ink where everything has to have a freaking deep meaning to it.
~ tell me the tattoo YOU want to get or your sister wants to get and ask my opinion. I'm just trying to buy a coffee, I don't care. And I'm pretty sure the tweety bird design you want is going to be awesome.
~ tell me why YOU would never get a tattooo. I don't come up to you and tell you why i would NEVER wear the hairstyle you are wearing.
~ explain to me how you don't like tattoos. Hey, I don't like those jeans you're wearing either but you don't see me giving you my reasons why.
~ touch me. Seriously. Stop touching me. I can't tell you how many people have just grabbed my sleeve or back of my shirt to look under my clothes to see what else I've got going on.
Do you have one??

I don't think I have an "it" but I want to bump just to read the responses. :laugh:0

No. I am pretty boring. I don't have 'it'. LOL
However, I think it is quite funny that people just grab you to look at your tats. That is like when people are pregnant and strangers just randomly go and rub their belly....lol0 -
You stole mine .... jerk! LOL0

That is what I was thinking...
I have one... when my oldest was still a newborn, I was at a rest stop and changing her on one of those changing stations when this little girl ran up, rubbed her head, and ran out before I could say anything. I wanted to snatch that kid up so bad... but she knew to get lost real quick. LOL!0 -
Mine is computers.
I tell someone I work in computers ....
I walk past someone who knows I work with them ....
I don't get "Gary, you're doing a great job...", no it's "Oh, I know you're really busy but ...."
Yes, that's what I do for a living. But we cross paths and introduce ourselves .... next comment "what do you do ?", so yeah, I tell them I work in computers. Next thing they turn on "OH FREE SUPPORT ... GOTTA MILK THIS GUY".
I am a nerd, I am a geek, but I have feelings too !
People at work think computers means they ask me to type a letter or plug in a computer or check their freekin toaster !
Got me started lol.... End rant now !0 -
Yes I have boobs and don't live in turtle necks because they make me look fat so....
Yes 'it' is cleavage but no it doesn't give you an excuse to stare, point, touch, or talk to it!0 -
I wear vibram five fingers shoes to run in.
No "it's" not permission to give me every opinion you have of them as far as safety, looks, or function, or why you'd never wear them.0 -
Not a problem any more, but: My waist-length hair is not an invitation for you to stick your nasty hands in it and play with it! Complete strangers would do this without even saying hi.0

Okay... I've got one.

People giving me parenting advice. I have 4 kids, been there done that, got the t-shirt. I don't need your opinion on poop, breastfeeding, formula feeding, puke, food, baby-wearing, co-sleeping, making my own food, spanking, discipline or anything else kid related. I will raise my kids the best way I know how and do what I feel is best for them. If you don't like it, TOUGH!!!0

HAHAH SO TRUE. Though you can't see in my pics, I have a decent amount of hours of tattooing (guess it is mostly on sides/back!) and people were always creepily tracing the lines of a tattoo I have between my shoulder blades..... Until I got a boyfriend who has sleeves, leg pieces, etc. -- now they either stay away completely or just bother him instead :bigsmile:0 -
I'm the animal person in my family and friend group. Every person comes to me when they find a cat or a dog that has been abandoned, or when they need to have an animal spayed.
I don't mind it, but at one point, I had way too many cats in my house to handle lol.0 -

Ok, but what if I wanted to get Sylvester the cat instead of tweety bird...would that still be awesome???0 -

"it" - when your pregnant
My belly bump is not an open invitation for you to touch me or rub me- or tell me your voodoo tricks to find out what I'm having... Lol
No touchy!0 -
not sure if this counts.... but
"it's" not okay to assume just because I am tall for a chick that I play basketball or volleyball.
my sport is soccer, thanks!0 -
Hahaha that's Awesome!!!! I have had people touch me like yanking my shirt up or down trying to see my Ink! my mom promised to leave me out of her will if i got anymore...Guys trying to hit on me with weird *kitten* lines involving my ink....Funny to see someone else's point of view! my favorite question of all was when i was in the chair last month getting my arm done and a lady said "Does it hurt?" ya think?0

My accent,
It's a long story... but I've lived in England for a while and have just moved BACK to the USA...
1. Are you english? No
2. Then why do you sound English? I don't/ it's a long story/ I guess I just picked it up/ blah blah blah
3. Repeating words I say because you think they sound "cute" and "britishy"
4. So what's England like, have you met the queen, how is different from here???
and just the general attitude people give me, I feel sometimes like a foreigner back in my own country.
Even if I do sound slightly different, do you have to hyper focus on the way I sound or could you perhaps listen to the content of what I'm saying? It's exhausting. And it's lead to me just keeping my mouth shut in front of new people. Double edged sword, now everyone think I'm just cold and b****y0 -

I used to get this ALL the time in high school!!0 -
I have 5 kids, and often drag others around with me as well. I ALWAYS get
~Are they all yours?
~Do you own a tv?
~Don't you know what causes that?
~ Do you want/will you have more?
~Well, *I* could never have that many kids! (Nobody asked you to.)
~I could *never* stay home with my kids. They drive me crazy. (They'd probably drive me crazy too. Luckily I stay home with mine, not yours.)
When i'm pregnant people seem to think they can just walk up and touch my belly. It doesn't matter if they know me or not, apparently pregnant bellies are public domain.
When my babies were little I had more than one strange person come up to me and smell my baby. Yes, SMELL my baby. I always used to wash them in Johnson's Baby Wash. Random stranger would take a deep sniff of their teeny heads and say "oooohhhh I love the way babies smell!"
It was kind of nice to see people loving on my babies, but a little weird when they were people I didn't know.0 -
for my it's my hair... but i very much enjoy attention and questions so itsnormally a good thing.. i do find it really weird when in im the grocery store or somewhere and people start petting me and exclaim something like oh its so soft! thank you yes it is, and i would have let you touch it if you would have asked, but you should have asked, becuase you scared me..0

The biggest one I can think of is when I was applying to colleges 3 years ago. If I was asked where I was applying, I wouldn't mind answering at all. But no, the fact that I applied to some schools that are difficult to get into is not an open invitation for you to ask what my grades and SAT/ACT scores are!! If someone says he or she is applying to Harvard (not one of my actual schools), it doesn't matter if it's a longshot or a safety school; it's as rude to ask someone's grades and testing scores as it is to ask someone's income or weight. And what's the point of asking if they think they'll get in? They'll either feel embarrassed if they say no, or feel like a cocky jerk if they say yes. And people say it's kids with no manners...

_There are so many more but I have to stop or this thread will be never ending....0
