Judgement

I learned my lesson when lost in Cardiff en route to a WI event. I pulled into a petrol station to ask where I was and a lad paying for fuel, shaven head and covered in tattoos, said “You follow me, love, I’ll get you there” and did. In my narrow minded view he was the sort of man I would cross the road to avoid, and I learned that day not to make snap judgements based on appearance.

Well done ginny hate people who look down their noses at anybody!!

I don’t think I would have said anything if they had been talking about me. It’s a case of say what you like about me but don’t criticise those I love.

Oh, well done Ginny! ..... and well done to your lovely GS, who sounds like a terrific young man!

I hope I have your courage, Ginny! If a similar situation occurred with my GCs I'd like to think that I'd do the same, but I'm not sure that I'd have the nerve. There again, I am braver when it comes to sticking up for others than I am when it comes to sticking up for myself!

Lucca , I politely told them what I told you above and then walked away. They we’re obviously embarrassed and left soon after. Hopefully they may think before making snap judgements again.

Love it ginny, bet they were mortified to be caught out!

Wish I could edit that, I meant to say that his skinhead appearance conceals a highly respectable and responsible professional and father to three.

I would have had a word like you did, but there are many people who judge others for having their own style, never judge a book by its cover

Well done, Ginny. Let's hope that will be the last time those women let appearances cloud their judgement. My DS1 had shoulder-length hair when he was 16 with burgundy low-lights, plus and earring. Now he has a shaved head and a rather attractive tattoo, but then, he is now 49!

Good for you ginny.

Well done ginny.

My DIL would I am Sure prompt similar judgemental comments as she wears rather odd clothes at times and has quite a few tattoos and a nose ring! She is however a very talented girl who runs her own business is very committed to all matters eco and is a very kind daughter in law and a fabulous mother to my DGC.

What a lovely young man. You are right to be very proud of him and good on him for being himself.

Oh wow ...details please! What did you say to them?

Oh well chatted! I would love to have been a fly on the wall!!!

Well done ginny?
