I was in a grocery store today talking to myself as I was reading the labels on some products, when an elderly woman asked me if I was talking to myself, I giggled and said well Einstein talked to himself she replied yeah but Einstein was crazy I was speechless but impressed this elderly woman was such a smart mouth. God love her. Got a story of being offended by a stranger?

One time I was suppose to get MFP married to a stranger on the internet. However, that person disappeared when I started talking about what kind of cake I wanted. I was offended by that stranger.7 -

If you can't even talk about cake then it wasn't meant to be6 -
I'm only offended by strangers when I give a damn what they think.
But then I've never been offended by strangers.2 -

I don't care what they think either but it is kinda funny what people are willing to say when they don't even know you0 -
I love older folks who've lost their filters. It's part of what's fun about getting older. You realize that you don't give a damn what anyone else thinks anymore, and say whatever you want to anyone. When it's done with humor and chutzpah, it's great. When it's mean and nasty, uh...not so much; then you can tell them to go fuk themselves.0

A few weeks ago when hubby and I were walking through town this elderly guy stopped us and told us it was sweet to see a couple holding hands...he then went on to say how cute I was!! yeah that conversation turned a bit creepy! I'm glad my big tall husband was on hand to protect me had the need arisen.0

I've worked with the elderly. They are just like little children - very honest!1 -

I agree with you still regret I should have retaliated by throwing something akward in here cart to mess with her head when she got home0 -
My mom is that crazy old lady that will say random things to strangers. I thought I was safe taking her to a bookstore, but then she made a comment about the POTUS to a couple who was looking a book about him and obviously supported him. I had to drag her away before punches started being thrown. I now know I can't take her anywhere.0

My Drill Sergeants told me being offended was a waste of time, so I stopped caring what others thought of me. All most 20 years later, all that matters is what my wife and kids think. Life is so much more enjoyable this way.6

I often have little older ladies look me up and down at the grocery store, say oh you're tall tho which I respond what would you like me to reach for you. no offence but always makes me laugh cause in not abnormally tall1

At 59, strangers don't really talk to me - I am invisible. Sometimes I enjoy the anonymity. When strangers do talk to me it is usually women who are older than me who deem that I am a safe person and they can trust me to help them reach shelf items that they can no longer reach, or, they want someone to walk with them to their car.0

You could have thrown some condoms, lube, and vodka!
Well, I'm not offended by strangers usually, but sometimes I've stuck my tongue out, or given the birdee. Sometimes double birdees.
But my Dad. Yikes. He had no filter. One of my friends said he was like Archie Bunker. Please Dad, please think about what your saying first. Sometimes its funny, but sometimes you freak some people out. Yes your older, but come on don't say that. I don't want to make excuses for you. And after he woke up on the operating table at Kaiser, I can't even say. Well he said, "What are all these ducking ******* doing in here!" Dad their going to kill you if you keep that up. How rude is that. He spoke his mind to strangers, with noooo filter at all.0 -

Waaait. One more thing.......
I'm betting some $ that this lady, just wanted to talk to you. And that was just her way to make up something to talk to you. Some people, thats just their way. It may not be everyones way. But that was her way. She might have just been lonely, and needed some human interaction with someone nice. Next time throw that box of condoms in her cart for fun!0
