The common denominator here seems to be numerous members have gone about their business with basically no issues. People look, or look twice, but they have eyeballs which can't be controlled. "Show me your eyes and I'll show you my heels" could be a good-natured way of looking at it. There are probably as many not so open minded people in cities as there may be in rural areas but the recurring theme in all these stories is nobody is having any issues of any meaningful importance. Let's see here we have one instance of mlroseplant getting yelled at by a passing truck. I'll hazard a guess at a profile: low esteem, low IQ, and probably low probability of amounting to anything meaningful in this lifetime. People like this don't have the vocabulary, or the stones, to insult you standing still within arm's length. Just a part of the background I suppose. You are an idea my friend and "ideas are bulletproof" to quote Mr. Dantes. HinH
