Something that always bothers me…

You know what I think is annoying?  People who try to tell other people what is best for them.  The example I’ll share happened a few minutes ago, and it really bothersome to me since this particular situation it happens ALL the time to me.

I was just outside getting some vitamin D by the beach. Something about me is that when I get hot, I get flushed.  Not sunburnt, but flushed.  So people tend to always think I am sunburned when I am in fact - not.

So I am laying, minding my own business, headphones in… doing my ‘don’t bother me’ vibe just like I do each morning on the bus.  When a man comes out of his way to come up to me, have me take out my headphones to say “I don’t know how much sun you’re trying to get, but you’re extremely sunburned and you should go inside.”  

NOTE: I had been outside for about 25 minutes, was wearing spf 30, and… it was 10 am.  

Seriously?!  Who are these people who think that they can tell other people (and a stranger at that) what is best for them and what to do - mind your own business!
