Do You Sometimes Feel Like You're "God's Biggest Joke"??

Or am I the only one??  :laugh:

I won't even tell you what happened to me today at the grocery store, but let's just say it involved me, a large bottled water display, an old woman and two shopping carts.  >:(

Do these things happen to you too? Do the most embarrassing and humiliating things happen to you at the worst possible moment?

Yes, I voted yes. I usually feel embarrassed, at least once or twice, every single day...I'm serious! It's a painful subject, which I don't care to go into here and now, but I do feel frustrated and unhappy about it...a lot. But I forge ahead, thinking that my experiences are there for a reason--I'm getting something from them, on a soul level, as are the other people who are part of those experiences.

I was sitting on a big ol bench at the library....by myself. A woman came up and sat so close to me she sat ON my dress....I got up and moved.

She followed me screaming at the TOP of her lungs that she was gonna kill me.

Fran:
A couple of years ago I was walking to my younger daughter's grade school to bring her home from school.  There was this homeless guy with a bottle in a paper bag standing outside a McDonald's that I had to walk past.  Other people were walking past -- it was three o'clock in the afternoon -- so I figured I'd just walk past, too, and not make eye contact.  I walked past him and was stopped at the corner waiting for the light to change -- it's a three-way intersection -- when he came up behind me and started swearing at me, calling me an effing whore, etc.  I just ignored him, and then he spit at me, hitting me on the back of my head.  I could feel it.  It was so gross.  I had no kleenex with me, so I just wiped it off with my hand.

The other people at the corner did nothing and said nothing, not even a sympathetic look in my direction.  Which made it even worse.  :(

But I learned my lesson.  Now I cross the street to avoid situations like this.

David, at least no one spit on you today.  :)

          Don't even get me started.... :-\            :-\


       I often fall it seems for one reason or another..          crapp.....anyway i do get the rush of sympathy, but i feel worse afterward.

      i think i wish they would just look the other way and pretend nothing happened.....uug
