I’m tired of people not keeping their comments to themselves

Today as I was waiting to get blood drawn in the waiting room, an older man who was also waiting to get blood drawn asked me and my mom if we knew what time it was. It was 3:10 pm. After looking at me over a couple of times he asked me in a concerned voice are you not feeling well? You’re all bundled up. Excuse me? All I said was I’m fine. What I should said was keep your comments to yourself and why would you assume I’m sick? It is only 60 degrees outside. It’s cold out. I swear some people around here are really ignorant and narrow minded. They expect everyone to be like them in how they dress, act, think, and believe. The exposure level is not that great. The weird thing was he didn’t mean it unkindly but I was irritated. And my mother oy vey better learn to keep her comments to herself. Today it was you’re making me dying with heat just from looking at you and I was going upstairs to wait in the waiting room my mother said here comes the buffoon inside. I cannot believe being dressed warmly and bundled up is such an issue. I look at people dressed like it’s summer when it is little over 60 degrees outside and I wonder how they are not freezing. It was 60 today not 90. And as for that man would it have occurred to him that maybe I was just cold or perhaps from somewhere where sixty degrees is really cold? My sister met up with us because she went with my mom to see her endocrinologist in the same building. I don’t understand she was just in a sweatshirt and sweatpants only and yet at home she put on the electric fireplace heater in the kitchen. It was a few degrees warmer inside the house than it was outside. Make it make sense. There are many countries and parts of this country where 60 is considered wintery weather. Why couldn’t I be living in one of those places instead? My sister was like oh wow when she saw me too just. Because I was in all my cold weather winter garb. And of course my mom had to tell me to take off my hand warmers before I could eat at dinner at home tonight . And she told me to take off my hood when I was inside the buildings. Can my family get over the way I dress ? And my mother said I will not be rude when I’m with her to people who ask or comment about the way I’m dressed because I am in the wrong not them. Uh no they are in the wrong for making ignorant rude comments and I have every right to chastise them for being inappropriate. At least the phlebotomist rose kept her mouth shut and the supervisor of the lab specimens didn’t say anything. They both acted normal. The phlebotomist was actually good and found the vein the first time and used a butterfly needle. But seriously who asks a stranger if they are sick because of the way they are dressed? It’s completely obnoxious. And my sister said see it’s not just us who thinks it’s unusual. Oh my god are some of the new englanders for all their supposed intelligence on stupid pills or something. And oh yeah earlier this week my mom called my therapist on Tuesday to express concerns about how I was overbundled and too warmly dressed and had concerns about overheating. My case manager told her she could call my therapist to express concerns before my therapy sessions thanks a lot not realizing it was as about my clothing. My family and the some of the general public can just screw right off when it comes to how I dress. After the appointments my mom and I went to Walmart to pick up some craft and art supplies for me. And Lowe’s to get a small bathroom faucet which I waited in the car for. I despise rude obnoxious people who don’t keep their comments to themselves. Develop a filter on your mouths you ignorant, immature idiots.
