I can sooo relate to strange people and them trapping you into weird, one-way conversations.<BR/><BR/>I do find it strange that our medical clinic is no longer allowed to say your last name out loud when they call your name to have you come back and see the doctor, but the pharmacist can yell it across the room!<BR/><BR/>When I went for my first O.B. appointment last year (and was pretty sure I was NOT pregnant, but I was)...I discreetly went up to the front desk and told her my name. The lady REPEATS MY NAME LOUDLY....TWICE!! And I'm thinking "Yeah, lady, I don't think the 4 people on the very far end of this room heard you say my FULL NAME and then 'Is this your first O.B. appointment?'" Yeah, lady....give away all my secrets, will ya?<BR/><BR/>But when the nurse came to call me back it was just "Jeanie". Hey, why bother, Nurse? Your front desk lady just outed me as a pregnant lady to this whole waiting room....<BR/><BR/>I don't get it.<BR/><BR/>But your story made me laugh.<BR/><BR/>JeanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-29785054664039265332008-04-07T06:59:00.000-05:002008-04-07T06:59:00.000-05:00Wow - how CREEPY.

I always struggle because I'm reminded that "as you do to the least of these....." and I think, "Surely not....right?" It's harder to be a good example of Christ in the world as women sometimes. People are scary!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765673372975518220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-5705756279877422902008-04-07T02:51:00.000-05:002008-04-07T02:51:00.000-05:00It's always the weird ones that want to chat you u...It's always the weird ones that want to chat you up in the stores. I've never understood why people seem to want to give you their entire autobiography in the middle of a supermaket checkout lane, but good grief, I always get stuck with those people too.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046306355404937213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-40000666216459989642008-04-06T12:23:00.000-05:002008-04-06T12:23:00.000-05:00My husband and I get approached by weird people al...My husband and I get approached by weird people all the time with even weirder stories of their lives. Often it's TMI. The only thing we can attribute it to is, they can see Christ in you. Lots of weird people with checkered pasts came to Christ because He exuded love and that's what they want the most. I'm not saying you are wrong to feel weireded out. God gives us, especially women, 6th senses, I believe to keep us safe. I'm just giving you a reason why they might be approaching you. It's hard in those situations, especially from a man to a woman to know what to do. Just know that I too have been there.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878130941654072441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-64734928944889946072008-04-05T17:08:00.000-05:002008-04-05T17:08:00.000-05:00Oh.My.
