Some people are sooo rude and ignorant!

I have had alopecia for 13 years. This weekend I went out with some friends and this "lady" was like "Where is all of your hair?", from across the bar so everyone could hear her. I was really embarrassed because in 13 years I've never had anyone be so blatantly rude. Even the people sitting next to her looked at her like she should shut the !.&@ up.
The worst part is she went on to talk about how she was married to a guy who hand alopecia for ten years. I can only assume he left her because of the way she acts. Anyway, I thought that I would share this experience because even after 13 years of being at peace with my alopecia that was hurtful and now I am a little more conscious of how I look. Did not need that.

How embarrassing, it hurts to hear things like that. Then you stop and consider the source and quickly come to the realization of who is talking. Your right she is ignorant.

many times folks' mouths kick in before their brain, therefore, they end up on the rude side. I've had a similar experience.
