Had 3 odd things happen this week, all involving older men, I would say 70+.
The first I was with DD2 and was approached by a man in a shop trying to tell me what I should buy for DDs doll she was carrying. I thought it was a bit strange but put it down to him just being lonely.
Second, with DD1, a man asks DD if we’re sisters as we’re nearly the same height and then proceeds to touch my shoulder, trying to show her how tall she is compared to me.
Third, walking down the street, the path is wide enough for several people to pass each other. A man ahead stops and stands in someone’s driveway, staring at me. I was wondering what he was doing and sort of gave him a half smile going past and then he shouts ’Thank you, you’re welcome’ as I keep walking. Honestly, I had no idea he was stopping to let me go past as it really wasn’t necessary.
Normally I wouldn’t give these things a second thought but they’ve all happened within a few days with similar aged men. Do these things happen to anyone else? Maybe I just need to look more unapproachable. Funnily enough it never happens when I’m with DH, just on my own or with the kids.
