Out yesterday pushing the pram around at the shopping centre I was heading towards Medicare along a long ramp. I knew there was someone behind me because I thought they were walking very close, like you do when trying to get past. Finally the man was able to go around me and as he passed he said the strangest thing….’Hey short lady’ and kept walking. I was gob-smacked once again, what a strange thing to say. I think it was quite offensive, probably more that he felt the need to say something like that to a complete stranger. The weird thing was that he too was headed to Medicare and I ended up using the teller he’d just used. Very odd thing. Has anyone else ever had strange comments like that thrown at them out of the blue?
