No-one ever seems to see it as they pull out in front, cut me off and almost run me off the road.<BR/><BR/>I think many a mid life crisis has probably been triggered by the invisibility factor.

I may be invisible but I must give off some sort of rotten egg scent to draw attention to myself. The 20 somethings always look at me with their noses all crinkled up, peering down at me from their deeply tanned, toned, and far superior high horse.Naughti Biscottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954505278010003963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1308329591965120992007-07-18T12:56:00.000-07:002007-07-18T12:56:00.000-07:00Oh...

I have not become invisible yet, but do find that I am preparing myself for that fateful day by speaking up more often than I did when I was young and trendy. I find that I now direct people to do my bidding in an assertive manner (with a smile) and always seem to get what I want because although I am not a hot, 20-something-year-old, I do know what I want, I am a good polite customer and it is hard for the guy behind the Starbuck's counter to argue with, "Excuse me, I'm next in line and would like a grande latte with whole milk. Thank you."<BR/><BR/>For now, it's working.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
