[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So - one last comment and then I am out.  I could have been self conscious.  I was there with my kids on father's day.  I forgot to put on any jewelry so I did not have on my engagement ring/wedding band, so as a pp mentioned maybe the woman thought I was a single/ divorced mother out with my kids on father's day.

Was I feeling guilty?  NO.  I had a super busy weekend with my kids doing a million outdoor fun things.  I have no issues with TV/ ipad balanced with lots of other physical activities.

For those of you who have speculated that I was projecting on this woman, it is not the case.  I know what I know.  She did not have resting bitch face (although I can laugh at that!), she was looking at me with an air of superiority whispering to her husband about me using the iphone.  That is a fact.

Whatever she felt, she behaved rudely.  I did not deserve that treatment and just because it hurt my feelings it does not make me mentally ill or whatever other things these posters have called me.

Maybe I am not in the majority, but I still believe in civility.  What bugs me about this whole thing is that she did not think that there was reason enough to avoid treating a stranger rudely.[/quote]

Sorry, but just because you feel certain of something doesn't make it a fact.  You're probably right, but you don't know for sure.  For all you know, she was giving you the stinkeye and whispering "Isn't that the woman that Joel left Barbara for?"  I mean, really, you don't know.  This is nowhere near a fact.  It's your interpretation of events which you can choose to get upset and angry and, yes, judgmental, for, or not.   I wouldn't have given it a second of thought.[/quote]
