what have you been nervous about wearing in public during your lifetime?

[Spinneret]

For some reasons suits

I know I “should” have been nervous about the tube top I wore when I was 19 and on our honeymoon at the Magic Kingdom in 1981. It was pouring down rain and we were running to our car and I had no idea my top had slipped down. I remember a man and his 2 young sons running towards me and him smiling nicely. My husband was running ahead of me and turned around and started pointing and I was so embarrassed. Those little boys are in their mid to late 40’s now and I’m sure they don’t remember but I bet their father does. You’re welcome sir.

Only once was I nervous about what I was wearing. It was my wedding gown.

Back in the day I used to be nervous about what I was wearing because I knew once I made it to town, the cameras would come out and it makes you feel like a zoo animal. I don't think people understand how weird and humiliating that felt. Those of you who visit Amish/Mennonite types of communities, try to be a bit more discrete with the camera use. It's overwhelming to those who would much rather not be photographed.

I may incidentally get someone in the background of my photo if I'm taking a pic with me and DH or my niece or nephew in a public place, but I can not imagine just taking a photo of some random person out and about their day. That's so weird and invasive to me. Unless maybe they are doing some type of public performance or something like that.

I think it would be normal to get individuals in the background when taking photos of the landscape, buildings and the area in general. That truly makes sense. I'm talking about the people who make other people the direct object of their photo. It happens so often and it's such an invasive thing to experience. I know not everyone does it, but the ones that seem to think they're at the zoo is very off putting.

I honestly think people are oblivious most of the time. Probably 90% of those people have no negative thoughts or intentions. They just aren't thinking. Not that it makes you feel any better. I'm sorry that happened to you. It's rude and inconsiderate.

Different topic, same idea...I think it's rude when people photograph or annoy "celebrities" when they are out and about just living life. Like let them take their kids to the park or go to the grocery store or whatever. I understand there is a difference since they signed up for a public life, but I don't understand why we can't just treat people with a little grace and kindness and just let them live.

*I'd apologize to the OP for taking this thread a bit off topic but the robot doesn't care.

I agree with all that you said. Also chuckled a bit about the robot.

I would look at this from a different perspective. For me personally I admire the dedication of the Amish/ Mennonite to their beliefs and ways of life. However while I believe that people should be discrete I don’t see how it is insulting to take a picture.

I'm probably not describing it well and I really can't explain in too much detail because it would include religious things that would break the rules. I promise you that a huge portion of the people that take pictures in these situations are very discrete and it doesn't feel invasive. It's the ones that are over the top in getting in your space and making it feel so invasive that I always struggled with. It's probably a fraction of a percent of people that do it, but boy are they memorable.

Depending on where I am going, anything Gay Pride related. I dye my beard with some wild colors. I was taking atrip to Texas to go to both 6 Flags parks there and I was told to bleach the color out of my beard because it might not be accepted. I did just to be safe.

It's sad that you even have to consider such things.

It really depends on where I am going... When I lived in California, nope, not an issue. Here in Mass and NH, it's not much of an issue. When I lived in Georgia... yeah.. that was an concern and so was my trip to Texas.

TippyThomas, am I to understand that you're Amish?

TippyThomas, am I to understand that you're Amish?

No, I'm not. I was adopted into a Mennonite family and I have since left that community after my parents passed.

 

[TippyThomas]

TippyThomas, am I to understand that you're Amish?

But it would be absolutely hilarious if someone did claim that, especially doing it online.

I get it.

Are you giving a presentation in front of the whole company at the time?
