Soooooo embarrassed

[heathr1]

:o :o

In a charity shop today I purchased a black leather miniskirt and as I always do, only bought from a GG assistant when there were no other customers in the shop.

I handed my money over and while the elderly assistant was putting the skirt in the bag she said 'I want to see you in that skirt, Sir '. loud enough for her colleague/co-worker to hear.

Couldn't get out of the shop fast enough!

[Angela Burke]

What a fantastic story!
Lucky you!

[JoAnnDallas]

You could have just look at her and said "Where is the changing room". I bet that would have taken her back a step.

[GG Vanya]

Why embarassed? You should have replied: Alllrighty then, as soon as it's dry cleaned I'll wear it back here and model it...JUST FOR YOU MA'AM!:p

[SherriePall]

Sounds like she was doing a little busting, not knowing the real story. I think I might have come back with an answer like JoAnn's or Vanya's.

[Kelsy]

Could have replied "Yes Mamm But I really think it would look fabulous on you":D


Jennifer:p

[Karren H]

I would have taken her up on it!! Right then and there. Hehehe

Love Karren

I'll never understand what the attitude is of a few people who don't understand us and feel they need to 'punish' us for our CDing somehow!

It can range from something like the comment you got, to just a stern glare from a GG as she 'reads'. Somehow, some people feel like it is up to them to make you feel bad about yourself.

These people probably think of themselves as generally tollerant, but given the chance if you are not like them then you need to be ostracized.

We need to somehow turn the tables on them and find a way to let THEM know just how far out of the mainstream they are when 99% of people can accept us without difficulty and it is THEY that have the problem.

Was that woman wearing pants??? -smile-:happy:

Jennifer:heehee:

Jennifer:heehee:

Exactly... I think this calls for a T-shirt

"I'll stop wearing skirts when you stop wearing pants"

:D

And you said, " Should I wear my fishnet stockings with stiletto heels and my see through blouse with it?"

[hotbobbie]

Next time Just tell her it will look better on you than her.

[heathr1]

Mabe I should go in tomorrow and if she is there ask her if there is a matching bustier!

[MadisonLee]

Is she probably was joking when she said that. I dont have a problem buying femme things at all. I usually get thats a nice gift or they do make a joke like the statement that was said to you. I always ask if it doesnt fit can I bring it back if Im not sure because some things even though you know your size might be too big or too small , it depends on the make of the clothing.

[AprilMae]

I would have said, "As soon as I find shoes to go with it, I'll be back". I'm sure it was just a harmless joke.

I would have said why cause I'll look better in it than you?

[trannie T]

Go back wearing the skirt.

[Sasha Anne Meadows]

I think some ggs just want see a tg enfemme.

[noname]

You could have just said something about not being so shy to ask me out. LOL

[AprilMae]

Maybe she really wasn't a "She".:rolleyes:

[Brianna Lovely]

:D

Ha, ha, ha, I love that one!
Thank you Cristi.

[MJ]

I think this is the way all human beings behave anyway.

[Jasmine Ellis]

good for you going into the shop and buying that skirt the next time ask her where you could get changed into it if that would make you happy. then see what she would say to that.
keep smiling and have fun:hugs:

[hotbobbie]

Good girl do it

[Raychel]

I think if it were my I would have just smiled politely and said "Maybe some other time"

[Nike]

Sometimes you feel like a ****..... sometimes you don't

[Amy Hepker]

I think You should have asked her if she wanted to help with your makeup!

[Blonde]

Mabe I should go in tomorrow and if she is there ask her if there is a matching bustier!

Go for it!

[Barb Valentine]

I would have said
"Not in your life time and if you keep that up that won't be long"
Sorry I tend to get a little defensive

[DawnRodgers]

Well, is it possible that she really wanted to see you in it? You never know unless you ask.
Dawn

[Melinda G]

She probably wished she could fit into it. :D

[Jodi]

You can only be embarrassed if you allow yourself to be. Get a sense of humor. Years ago, an experienced tranny told me--If you are going to do this, do it right and have a set of balls, because it takes balls to be a tranny". She was so right. I have had remarks like this made to me over the years. The difference is that I don't even remember them. My response is always a big smile and some smart remark in return. Always handle sarcasm with a smile and humor. The sarcastic one will not know how to handle it.

Jodi

[kerrianna]

coulda said, in a loud voice, "Really? That's kind of kinky of you!"

I think she was serious and REALLY did want to see you in it. For all you know 'hubby' is at home doing the dusting in a maid's outfit.

[Alpaula]

I would ask were I could get changed then walk thro the shop wearing it:rolleyes:

[Billijo49504]

I would have went ahead and asked where I could put it on. Then told her for a quarter, she could help get it on. But I definately would have called her bluff....BJ

[Angie G]

Never had thisproblem but I would have to say something smartass to her :hugs:
Angie

[krissysSecret]

Just take the high road on this and don't reply with an insult.It will make us all look better in the long run.You're probably not going to change her views anyway, so I would just let it bounce off.
Krissy

[EricaCD]

Oh, if I had to guess I would suspect she meant it as a joke and did not think you were a CD. And I love the fact that most of the snappy replies above would have put it right back in her lap! If you think YOU were embarrassed....

[serinalynn]

I hav been crossdressing off and on since I was 11. I can remember a couple of times that when asked if what i was buying was for me. I was at a Sears store in the late 1980's when a young sales clerk asked if the bra i was buying was for me and I told yes it was, and she disappeared into the back room and another sales clerk had to finish my sale.I don't know why they have to ask its not their business but just in case i'll ask to use the fitting room to make sure what I am buying will fit.

[Ellie C]

sorry , would have done same :S

[Janailene]

Soory that happened to you. It has also happened to me but after almost fainting, I asked if she could help me find a blouse. Feeling guilty or embarresed is no fun. This happened years ago. Now I just let them know that I am a Cd and I would leave if they wanted. 95% of the time they help me.

[MsJanessa]

sould have said--"ok--what's your phone number, I'll call before I come over to your place tonight."
