I do believe this was the rudest thing anyone has ever said to me!

[Jeafl]

My youngest daughter (8 yrs. old) recently joined a softball league. Last night was her 5th game. As most parents with kids involved in sports know, after awhile you get to know a lot of parents in your town. I usually just set up my lawn chair next to all the other parents I know, and we just chat during the game.

Well, since the first game I've noticed a younger woman (maybe late 20's) sitting by herself at every game. I hate to see anyone sitting alone, so I called over to her and asked if she would like to bring her chair over and join us. She looked at me scornfully and said "I'm ok where I'm at--I know all you MIDDLE AGED ladies like to stick together so I don't mind sitting alone". You should have seen all the jaws dropping!

First of all, I was blessed with great genes (and an even greater moisturizer!) so I've never really thought I look my age, which is 41.

Second of all, I think a "No thanks, I'm fine here" would have been the polite answer.

Third of all. WHEN DID 41 BECOME MIDDLE AGED??? I am so depressed.

Wow, sounds like she has been steaming about sitting alone for a while now.

Sounds like SHE has problems.

She probably just needed to have some chocolate and chill out some. I'm not from your area so I know that I didn't take hers. someone else did.

Or maybe, when she thought she was in line for kindness she got in the wrong line and got a double scoop of rudeness.

Sorry this happened.

Happy Thoughts to all,

Boy she must have pissy about something!

Im 39 (and trying to squeeze every last drop out of my last 30-something year) but I do not think I am going to be middle aged in another year or two.

Its amazing how youth skews ones perspective!!!

Yeah, the girl has issues. You were nice enough to try and be friendly once. Try not to let it bother you and just forget about it.

Who needs people like that around?

Or maybe she was crabby because she needed to be burped or missed snack time

As a 37 year old, I do believe 41 is middle aged...Especially if you live to be 82, which a lot of people don't. Being in your 40's isn't "old", but it is middle aged.

We all have our days...or decades...

Wow - that was rude! That said, I do consider someone in there 40's to be middle aged - I can say that because I'm 42. I always thought 40 was the official entry to middle aged.

 

[Pooh67_68]

How rude!

I'm 28 and I have friends that are in their 40's and 50's that I hang out with regularly. I also have my girlfriends in their mid 20's too. I have never chose a friend by age. I choose by interests. That was really rude what she said. She is probably jealous of your good friendships.
