I have to say had I witnessed this I would of been sorely tempted to make some disparaging remark about `whispering woman` within earshot so she could spend the rest of the day pondering as to why something about herself had prompted such a openly snarky reaction. That said clearly you were far more dignified than that, all credit to you for returning the guy`s head bob and keeping your composure. You stood head and shoulders above him.

For a long time my daughter was only comfortable in boys/mens clothing. We were in a department store one time and I was helping her pick out things to try on. She asked did I think anyone was `looking` at her because she was browsing the Men`s section, No I said and if they were so what. She smiled and happily went about choosing things {she does so love to shop ! } I then became aware someone was indeed `looking`. A chap waiting by the dressing rooms, he was watching her intently with a curiously fascinated expression and a ridiculing, sneer of a smile spreading across his face. I made sure my daughter was not aware I was discreetly observing his reaction, so intently was he watching {judging} her he was not aware either. She trotted off to try things on and I waited off to the side. When I saw her coming out and handing some items to the assistant he again became engaged in `watching` her. I stepped forward and shot him a killer look of `protective mama Bear/enraged Femme/Butch avenger` I`m sure you get what I mean ! He had the good grace to look extremely uncomfortable, struggling to hold my acid stare and began to blush profusely. I left him with a scathing up and down appraisal and we went off on our way. My daughter never knew of this exchange. I think had she noticed his reaction she would of fled with no purchases and been pretty shut down by it. I will never understand some people.

Thank you, Chained Daisy. I am so glad that your daughter did not witness the ugly judgment of strangers.

my pet peeve is that, my spouse does not wash out his soda can before disposing of it in the recycling!..I'ts not required here, but I just have a problem with knowing it's in there! So I end up carefully fishing them out and washing them...when he catches me doing it he always looks very innocent and wonders (out loud) how they got in there, butches!

I recycle everything possible. In my home I ask family and friends to leave the cans and bottles next to the sink. I wash everything myself before it goes into the recycle bin that way I know it is clean. Unrinsed bottles and cans attract bugs and vermin.
