Conversation following Monday's water aerobics between me and an older woman.
her: well this is good exercise, i will be really good for you
me: yes it is good exercise
her: you will lose a lot of weight
me: yeah, i've already lost a little over 20 lbs
her: oh
* * awkward silence as I'm trying to relax in hot tub * *
her: well have you tried such and such diet?
me: no
her: what about such and such? my granddaughter lost x amount of weight on it - how about such and such? or such and such? those are really good diets - have you tried those?
etc etc etc
this went on for about 5 minutes at which point i went from embarassed to annoyed to just plain irritated. finally i couldn't stand it anymore and that's when i made the comment that will probably seal my fate in hell..
me: you know, this class would be good for you because well once you get to be your age, once you quit moving then you're just, well done.
she got in the pool and left me alone. at today's water aerobics she said something to me and i pretended i didn't hear her and went to the other end of the pool, yeah i know, not the most mature thing in the world but i'm sick as hell of people thinking just because they are older they have earned the right to say whatever they think to people.
