It never ceases to amaze me how people just don't seem to want to believe the truth.
Two cases happened to me today.
1. I was ordering some weather stripping for a job I'm involved with, and I needed a particular color. Taupe, to be exact. I called my factory and spoke to the secretary, to place the order. Now, M---- is a nice person and even though I've never met her, we've had some fun conversations on the phone. When I told her the color I wanted I also said that I wanted it to match my stockings. A two second pause and she said that she preferred "suntan" as it gave her legs a nicer glow. I asked her what brand she bought and she replied, "Leggs, of course" and said the tag line of "Nothing beats a great pair of legs." I commented that most likely she picked them up in the grocery store, to which she replied, "Sure, why not?" I went on to say that I didn't care too much for pantyhose as I could never find the right size, and that I liked thigh high stockings better, or, if I was going to wear regular stockings I simply had to have an 8 strap garter belt with metal clasps. ( started to make it into a joke at this point so that she wouldn't be too shocked) I also said that I liked the metal clasp because a plastic one will give out at 1 a.m. while I'm on the street corner. She mentioned that I must look nice with the hair sticking out all over lie somebody with a crew cut putting their head on a screen.
Even though I kinda told her I wear stockings she wanted to believe it was a joke. Like I say I didn't want to push the issue and MAKE her believe me, but I though it was funny in that you can tell some people the truth and they refuse to believe you.
2. Second time today, I was getting a hair cut this afternoon and the gal who cuts my hair was saying how I looked much better now that I've lost weight and that I must be feeling quite proud of myself. I told her, "Yes I do feel better about myself and feel so good that now I can fit into a size 14 skirt." She laughed and said that I was quite funny.
Some people,"Just don't get it" I think it's a hoot to be able to look a person square in the eye and tell the truth and they still don't believe you.
