Was waiting at the bus stop this lunchtime, having a lovely friendly chat with two women (one of them had a pug, we were making a fuss of it). I was quite happy, in a lovely mood, feeling all Christmassy.
The bus came round the corner and people started getting off. This bloke made a beeline straight for me and said (with a smile and in a joking voice) 'I don't think it's going to be a happy Christmas with that face on!'.
I did a double take at him and said 'what face?'. And he pulled a sad face at me. I just went 'oh' and he walked off.
I've had this shit loads during my life. I'm not a miserable person, far from it, but I don't walk around grinning like The Joker or with a coathanger in my mouth! My mouth naturally has a downwards tilt to the corners.
Why is it that some men people think it's ok to pull this crap with women? It's always women they target. Yeah, I'm sure he thinks he was being amusing, but it really isn't, not when you get it a lot anyway. How does he know I haven't just had a death in the family or something.
Would it be wrong of me to pull someone the next time they do this? It killed my good mood right off for a whole five minutes
