I'm thinking there's alot of tankers with negative self images on this board. Who cares if someone looks at you funny or says something derogatory about your hobby.
It's your hobby and if it makes you happy, screw these people who a) don't know you and b) are unlikely to ever be seen in your life again... (except maybe the employees who should be thanking you for buying stuff and thus keeping them employed). |

I'm pretty sure all of us have to know we chose a pretty nerdy hobby. I mean we seriously can't be shocked if we get a rude comment or look from time to time.

I have no problem when people make a big deal about what I'm doing as long as they aren't judging me. That's not to say I'll drop them right there in the aisle. I just finish what I'm doing and walk off.
I mean, how empty is your life that you feel the need to say something about a person shopping in store? Positive conversation is fine by me. I remember right before Christmas last year a woman saw me looking in the aisle, and she obviously could tell I was a collector and she came up to me super polite and asked me if I could help her find the right toy for her nephew. She said she had an idea of what he had and what he didn't, but didn't know beyond that what was popular with kids. So I spent time out of my day to help her no problem. She was some lady that cared so much for her nephew that she'd ask a stranger she thought could help her. More recently, the last two times I bought ROC figures, both cashiers chatted with me about the movie, asking when it came out, etc. and it was fine.

American_Hero. That was actually my wife and me. The only reason I said that was because there were a couple of figures I wanted, and I was hoping you'd leave so I could grab them. Luckily, you didn't take the ones I wanted so I came back and picked them up. My wife actually said that you were cute. You must have missed that part.

I'm surprised you haven't used or added the word "off" on the thread title. LOL
OK, that sounded bad. :( |

I honestly feel it takes more to not respond to such people and of course its the wiser,more mature and classier thing to do but sometimes you need to put people in their place.
