> I can draw people to me when I shop. Whatever I am looking at, someone else wants to look at that same thing. It happens everytime I go shopping. It's amazing!

I tried to ignore her, and then she literally started reaching in front of me to pull things off the shelf just inches from my face. No "excuse me" or "pardon me"--nothing. So irritating! I walked away and stopped to look at something else, and a minute later...here she comes again. I gave up and left the store. I know it sounds petty, but it happens to me all the time.

> Ok, I'm done venting now!Am I okay with stating the inference that you are probably very attractive, or tastefully presenting yourself? It may be that other women (or men....you don't say if it's a gender thing)like the way you look, and want to see what you're focussing on. Imitation is a form of flattery, as they say.
