That Was Bold

There was a lady waiting in the waiting room when I was getting my blood work done.  She smiled at me, and after a minute she asked if I was okay.  She said "You don't look so well.  Are you sick?"

In my head, I was laughing hysterically.  That is a bold question because she is basically saying I look like crap.  I mean, I am getting over a cold, so I know I don't look amazing.  But leaving the house today did I think I looked terrible? Absolutely not.

So I turned to the lady, and smiled. "Not really.  I guess I'm getting over a cold so maybe that's why I don't look so good."

Since working in retail with many older people as customers, I have realized that older people are extremely bold.  Sometimes to a point of being rude.  And I'm not sure if they realize that it is rude or if they just have no regard to how it makes the other person feel because they have got to an age that they feel like they are exempt.  And while most of the time I smile at the people and try to be polite, I really just want to ask them really?  Cause it's just really rude a lot of the time.
