To be laughed at

[globalgirl2]

I was promoting myself at a local fate on the weekend.

Of course I had my tunic on, with a FHT badge and a fob watch (as you do) when I was approached by a large stero-type builder gentleman".

"Ha you're a nurse right?" He shouted at me while taking a bite of a hot dog.

"No, a holistic therapist" I smiled

"A WHAT?" he bleeted

"A holistic person, you know she does massage and that.." a female who hung on his arm added.

"Right... sure, well you look like a nurse. Don't tell me, you went to college for THAT!?" he said screwing up his nose

"I did" I said - still trying to smile

"pffft no wonder the education system is f***ed when they waste money teaching you "massage" " He scoffed, and yes, he even used "quotation marks" with his fingers.

Aint it lovely to mingle with the public!

Two thoughts came to mind here,


Sometimes ignorance isn't bliss
and
and you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Missed their opportunity didn't they.

Please dont judge all builders by that particular jack-ass. As a Brickie, I can assure you......I would have asked for a demo....hehehe

lol don't worry oakapple, I'd never do that... I only stero-typed him because of his attitude.

Fleur, I don't give up without a fight!

Hmmm, what a git!

My other job when i'm not working as a holistic tehrapist is in an architects and all the builders there think what I do is fantastic, and I have even given a few IHM and they thought it was great, got a few of there wives now as regular customers.

There will always be people who will take the p*** and that is mainly because they don't know understand, I have had a few people at fairs and fetes say similar and I normally offer them a 5minute freebie taster (i normally do 15mins paid), they always say yes and nearly all have realised the error of there ways and I have gotten a few regular clients!

Good luck with the business, keep your chin up!!!

Hi ya Urban H

People laughed at me when I trained in complementary health. They don't anymore as I built a successful business out of it. The world is full of numpty's and people who still live in the past, based on a paradigm of fear.

Carry on with your good work.

Cheers

When I was doing an evening class in the swedish massage I would catch the bus home in my uniform. The bus driver asked me what I was doing and leered disgustingly at me and suggested that I was working in a seedy massage parlour.

I love that word. It's such a great word. And very, very apt in this case!
