Rude woman or just me?

Hi all! Need your opinions.

So I just got back from tonight's yoga class and feel a little odd with the encounter that I just had. Well I got chatting to another woman who had just joined, as she was talking I glanced out the window for a moment and noticed the moon and I out of the blue mentioned how pretty it looked & how it affects my behaviour - no I'm not crazy haha, please mention if this happens to you too!

Anyway she proceeded to snicker at what I had just said and found a way to excuse herself as if I had just said the world's craziest thing or killed her cat or something?? Am I wrong for thinking she was really rude to laugh and excuse herself? I don't know if I want to go back to my class anymore which is a real shame because I really enjoyed going until this woman joined.

It is isn't Captain. Fucks sake.

It's all that yoga. Makes the OP all forgiving and nice.

I've also met loads of cunts at yoga. Often they're they teachers too Shock

Sparklingbrook · 10/03/2016 21:47

I keep getting asked to go to Pilates. is that just as bad?

Alisvolatpropiis · 10/03/2016 21:50

You sound like a friend of my husband.

I can assure you that all the faux hippy zen master bollocks does make people feel uncomfortable and does make them want to laugh with nervous hysteria titter uncomfortably.

For me, it's awkward when someone insists they've seen a ghost or knows someone who's definitely seen a ghost. I sit there like a rabbit in the headlights knowing it would uncommonly rude to respond honestly, while feeling a total fake nodding along. So yeesh!

I love this thread.

MistressMerryWeather · 10/03/2016 22:04

Baha, fabulous, Onepot.

cbigs · 10/03/2016 22:04

Nice captain, nice. It was ' the vibes' that clinched it for me . Hmm

SauvignonBlanche · 10/03/2016 22:05

perhaps she had never heard of it or hasn't taken time to learn about it before Hmm

Perhaps she thinks it's a pile of shite?

BigQueenBee · 10/03/2016 22:06

A throw away comment. I do that all the time. Move on girl.

pictish · 10/03/2016 22:09

I might snort a bit and excuse myself. I won't hold it against you as a person who may possess all sorts of good qualities worth knowing, but on that score I wouldn't know what to say. I'd feel bloody awkward.

I love a bit whimsy/spooky/otherwordly/unexplainable/magical/spiritual stuff in books, films and stories. I can see the appeal of wanting it to be so. I just don't believe that it is, so I don't have a good or honest response.

CaptainCrunch · 10/03/2016 22:09

I must admit the"vibes" made me feel quite stabby.

What's the betting the op has a dream catcher.

SilverBirchWithout · 10/03/2016 22:09

Another evening, another social encounter Smile

SilverBirchWithout · 10/03/2016 22:10

Is it best to bring socks with you to yoga?

zodiackelly · 10/03/2016 22:24

Only if you have a form of foot fungus Silver, I think your class mates will appreciate you covering it up Grin

Otherwise it's best without in my experience, a lot more natural & clean

Definitely proud owner of a dream catcher imo. one made from dried chick peas and knitted pubes plucked on the full moon.

And lots of recordings of cat fights and drunks on kazoos, cleverly over priced and packaged as 'music of the plains- the lament of sitting bull last of the Mohawks'. Original Native American folk music made in Taiwan.

Merclady · 10/03/2016 22:34

Drunks on kazoos....snorted out loud

zodiackelly · 10/03/2016 22:36

No, no dreamcatcher here, do have crystal ball though. It's more a decorative piece, but I like to fill my surroundings with little mystical things. Smile Keeps me in balance if you ask me haha!

My surroundings are full of mythical items too. Only this evening I was mystified as to how everytime I put a wash on it always has odd socks in that never match up with all the other household odd socks. And the mysterious appearance of my neighbours dogs toy in Dds bedroom. So I looked deep, deep inside myself, focusing all my energy on breathing through alternate orifices. And then it all became clear, one of the cats has been summoning their inner bastard again and theiving from the neighbours.

I know I'm late to this but i go weird at full moon, just more sensitive to stuff.
Only talk to dh and dc about it though and they think I'm weird anyway.

I get a bit weird before storms too, especially lightening if it's ever in the summer I get some sort of rush that keeps me awake all night.
Whilst I've always been an owl, all nighters have not been usual for quite some time now I'm a bit older Grin

I don't go around telling strangers face to face. It's usually personal.
