I was in a packed elevator on my way up to jury duty and wearing my beloved Frye boots that I still get asked about by strangers. I'm standing there, minding my own business when a group of 3 girls look me up and down and start snickering and asking "oh, is it raining outside?" When I looked at them, they rolled their eyes and laughed. I don't care if someone doesn't like my awesome shoes, but to pick on someone who is keeping to themselves and not causing any trouble is, I think, total bully mentality. I will never understand that kind of behavior - asserting your power by picking on someone you perceive as weaker than you. Seriously, get over yourselves.<BR/><BR/>And might I add that those girls were wearing velour tracksuits - to court.AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039516231351178085noreply@blogger.com
