I am officially invisible now.

[KathyB1968]

I have read about this strange phenomenon where older woman become invisible.

I didn't actually become invisible, but it was like people forgot I existed. I think that is what they mean when they talk about becoming invisible.

Today at work, I let two people in to a room next to mine for a meeting. They went in and started talking with the door still open.

"Now, this is between the two of us." "Don't worry I won't tell a soul."

I could hear everything. They weren't even whispering.

"Now, this is between the two of us." "Don't worry I won't tell a soul."

I would have been tempted to stick my head in the door *after* the beans were spilled and say "No worries, girls, I won't tell a single soul!"

Truly! What an opportunity.

Or leave them anonymous notes: "I know what you did last Summer!"

Do you think they were hoping you’d repeat the story to management?

Do you think they were hoping you’d repeat the story to management?

That is an often used passive/aggressive office tactic

Sounds about right. I'm not in the clique at work, that's for sure.

However, I've spent much of my life wishing I was invisible instead of being abused and harassed. So I'm OK with it at this point. My cats know I exist. If only to fill the feed dish and scoop the box.
