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.
