Me too...seriously, it's like I'm made of glass or something. (Until something happens wherein I don't want to be noticed...then, for some reason, I'm impossible to miss.)

HopeInPain says,

One day, when someone runs into me, I want to stop and actually make them have a conversation with me. They threw off my pace, I should be able to do the same to them for a moment. It's the least they can do. And you never know what you could learn. Maybe it was fate.

L2L3 says,

Increased incidence of this in grocery stores in Florida where everyone is invisible to old ladies with killer grocery carts.

canadafreeze says,

You should remove your cloaking device:-). Congrats of the MOTD.

Finally happened! Thank you all well wishers. Could not believe it when I booted up a while ago. My lucky day!

SnowGirl says,

I believe we make our own luck, you deserve it!

favepeep says,

Ah, invisibility. Great visual. Congrats on MOTD!

flikchik says,

It's not just you....happens to me too. Seems some days God has choreographed everyone to purposefully walk in my path. And maybe other days we're choreographed to walk in theirs!

Mourningdove says,

Congrats!

MO_Thoughts2 says,

I feel invisible when I can't turn on the bathroom sinks with the motion sensors on them. It happens quite frequently, I'm afraid.

bohemdeb says,

Happens to me too sometimes. Makes me wonder if I'm dead. :)

maryjane31 says,

This is a funny but very true story. Today my husband and I went to Walmart. He took a basket and I took my own. We separated to meet back at the register at an appointed time. We would count how many times we were banged into as he knows people always run into me. OK, my count for myself was 6 TIMES. Only one very nice elder man apologized and said " I'm soooo sorry, I didn't see you. I was nice and asked him if I seemed invisible to him? He said no but you are very small. I'm 5'3. I met my husband back at the cashier and took a toll. He got bumped 0 times and I got it 6 times. Please go figure that out!

LucidDreamer says,

maryjane31, you may be onto something with the height thing....I'm only 5'2"...get slammed into all the time......hhhmmmmm....

Believe says,

I am 5'2". I don't have this problem. Can't be a height thing. I do have the motion detector not registering my need to wash my hands thing. And the automatic doors not aware of my presence thing.

jl333 says,

Well I'm 5'2" and 1/8, and I get bumped into all the time!
Personal sixer for MaryJane..."therefore, short people must be invisible"

JAD says,

I'm 5'5 I guess I don't count.:(

maryjane31 says,

JAD 5'5 is still pretty short. I consider somebody who is 5'10 not so short. No JAD you are IN!
