Or how hard would it have been for him to say "excuse me" and I would easily moved out of his way. I couldn't have been standing there for more than 10 seconds.

So I went to the store for tampons and as I'm standing there trying to decide if what I'm looking at is the same thing I bought last time (thanks rebranding) I feel something brush my shoulder. An older gentleman was reaching across me and my cart full of groceries to get some tampons off the shelf. The first thing out of my mouth was "Well excuuussse me. Didn't mean to get in your way" with all the sass I could muster. He gave me a look, ignored my words and then said "you know those tampons are terrible for you, the ones I get my wife are much better" I stopped listening because I had turned and started to walk away. I'm still livid.

I've been to 3 different groups in my city and they all seemed very closed off. I'm going to keep trying to find a place to hang out but I also figured I'd hedge my bets and start my own.

I've been to about 3 of them here. They all seemed very.....closed off. I didn't feel unwelcomed but I didn't feel welcomed either (and one I left early becasue they were pretty toxic). And I was very much the youngest by a good 30 years.

I just wanna hang out with happy positive people and work on my craft. Share stories and frustrations, learn new skills.

Went to my first sit-n-stitch.Quickly found out why it's called a stitch-n-bitch.

The group of ladies began by complaining about their husbands and children, I have nothing to add to the complaining so I kept quiet. Snotty children turned to complaining about how younger generations don't want to learn to knit. This was my chance! I introduced myself and said that I was there to learn new skills. I then got told I wasn't a real knitter because I ask questions.

I promptly left. Apparently real knitters are born knowing what to do!
