Invisible

Some time in the not so distant past, I became invisible. I'm not sure when it happened exactly, I only know that when I talk to people they tend to respond as if I'm not there. No, it's not just students either. It seems to apply to a lot of folks.

Today in Starbucks I ordered a Sumatra coffee in a ceramic mug, a chocolate doughnut, and a glazed doughnut (I'm on a diet). The cashier handed me a glazed doughnut and a cup of coffee in a paper cup. I said "I wanted a glazed AND a chocolate doughnut and a cup of coffee in a CERAMIC cup."

The cashier said "We don't currently have any chocolate doughnuts."

I said "Yes you do. Right... there!"

So she took back the glazed doughnut and handed me a chocolate doughnut and a cup of coffee in a paper cup.

"No, I want a glazed doughnut and a chocolate doughnut and a cup of Sumatra coffee in a ceramic cup."

It's not like I mumble.

It's not like they were exceedingly busy.

I simply have become invisible.
