Something that happened at the ATM

[Kol]

I was walking up the sidewalk to get money out for cough medicine and while I was walking there, an old lady was walking back and as I passed her she switched her pocketbook to her other side so it wouldn't be near me.

Appearance matters.

 

[Kol]

I look like a little kid! I'm actually a very innocent-looking person!

Maybe it's a habit, whenever I'm in a crowd, even at Church things, I will constantly check my wallet. Also as for appearances, you never know who could be a thief.

You may never know. But if a person is dressed in a certain way, it does not matter who you are, it makes an impression on you and you form opinions about that person based on their appearance, subconsciously or consciously, whether you like it or not.

The question is not are you paranoid, but are you paranoid enough?

Personally, though, I like to stay away from ATM's because The Illuminati use them to track my movement by the magnetic strip in the my driver's license.

Well I think think old people are distrustful and bitter.

If that's really you in your profile pic.you don't look like a little kid, not even close. Older people do tend to be more distrustful, but I don't really blame them..I do the same thing with my purse if I get too close to anyone in a crowd.

You don't look like a little kid in your profile picture. Maybe she has been mugged before and is scared that it may happen again. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

it could have been done out of reflex. or she only holds things in that hand to free up the other one for keys or something.

but then you are being distrustful and bitter towards them by forming that opinion about the, lol. When I was a goth, I had people calling me names when I was out, my neighbours never said hello (but would say hello to my angelic looking sister Katie), its crazy but people do judge others on their appearance.

 

[aunt_kelly]

like most of the other girls said.. it's probably just a habit. Is your ATM on the sidewalk or something? the only ATMs I use are the drive-up ones.... lol

 

[Matt.9:22]

I get it all the time. I scare the bejeezus out of little old white ladies. Even though I'm a female, I'm still black and I'm almost 6 ft. tall. I've had little old ladies almost run into stuff trying to avoid me. lol.

All generalizations are false, huh?

 

[The Princess Bride]

I wouldnt take it personally,Kol.

I ALWAYS guard my purse/wallet closely, no matter how nice or not someone too close to me looks.

 

[Kol]

I'm just tired of people always seeing me as the bad guy because I speak out or say something wrong or have my own ATM card, lol.

Well, at least she didnt try to mug YOU....

Well there is some truth in generalisations....but they are generalisations and there are exceptions.

 

[Abyssal]

Well I mean it depends on what part of the town you live in, and the time of day. Especially depending on what you were wearing.

It is hard to fault her when we live in such a messed up world.
