I recently attended a pain management clinic which was run by a spotty young woman who obviously wasn't enjoying a healthy diet :? Five minutes into the clinic, she leaned over my chair, patted my cheek and said to the rest of the motley crew "Isn't she sweet" :evil: Two things she has learned, don't patronise fat little old ladies, and I'm NOT sweet! :twisted:
Shan't be going back :D

Really hate it when people get so patronising. I was at the db clinic and the young nurse got a form for me to fill in. She immediately crouched down next to my chair and started to read it to me, pointing to the places where I had to put in the answers! I asked her if she did that for everybody,to which she looked quite shocked and said she was only trying to help. I reminded her that I might be 75 but I'm not senile - yet! However, to some extent it's all part and parcel of being in the oldies group and as long as it's not too demeaning I find it's best to let it ride. :(
 
Hi Foxy, some people never learn, and assume once you hit sixty everything stops. When I remarked to a young friend that her boyfriend was really "fit" she reeled in horror! As I explained all my faculties still work, more slowly perhaps, but she was so shocked bless her!

Oh dear!
last week, I was mistaken for my granddaughter's"Mummy" as I tried to get the buggy into the John Lewis Ladies toilet. I'm 62, she's 18 months. Some people just can't guess age or think sensibly.
Still; trying to help, although patronising, is at least, KIND
