      Frustrated,

      UR comment is probably the no.1 we all face daily. It's funny how I really just buried it under the rug been living with that attitude so long just simply have turned off literally to most people. Which is sad. I see now as I age how differently I am treated by the fast paced world we live in.

      I'm very slow. One incident just the other day at the super market... I was trying to get 37 cents change together in my hands. My fingers r curled and they take longer to hold small coins and get the amt together.

      The clerk said OMG give me the change and I'll take it out for you and give u what is left. She grabbed my sore hand at the same time she spoke rudly because the people in line were waiting a little longer for me to hold on to the coins and count the change. I have three fingers that don't work and it's not real obvious but my hands are deformed from RA. Just because I am not a gray haired little old lady I see this happen over and over. 

      Yeah .. so frustrated.. yeah that said it mildly. confused

    Here's my top 5:

    1:  Oh!  Everybody gets that.  It's just an age thing.

    2:   If the doctors can't figure it out,  maybe you'e just imagining it !

    3:   I've got a bad back too,  but I make the effort to not keep reminding everybody.

    4:   I really feel like taking a long walk and then finishing off in a noisy pub.  Coming ?

    And , perhaqps, worst of all

    5:   The way you're lying on that sofa would give anyone a bad neck !  

    All these overly helful people can go 'admire' (insert as appropriate) themselves.
