Shopping for computers is so fun and relaxing than shopping for makeup.

So here's the scenario...
I walked into a makeup store and I was looking for lipstick. I was wearing my devRant shirt, jeans, and a laptop backpack. A sales lady approached me and just stared. She didn't even ask what I was looking for. The way she looked at me made me feel that I don't belong there. She should've just left me alone than giving a judgemental look. I got intimidated so I looked at her and gave the biggest smile, then fleed. I panicked. I salute those female developers who doesn't have problems shopping for girly stuff!

For the record, my sister encouraged me to wear a little makeup so that I don't look stressed. That made me decide to go to that makeup store. I'd rather order online now.

It's so hard to not be girly by nature.

    It's because of the stereotypical definition of "girly".

    @ViRaS I just wished the sales clerk was thinking "oh poor thing I should be friendly and help her" rather than giving me a judgemental look 😂😂

    Every time i enter a Bioladen (german for a store that sells overpriced biologically created food), people give me that "you don't belong here" look.

    I earn well enough to buy there every day, i just don't want to, but people can smell that I'm not one of them.

    Going away was probably the best thing you could do.
    They wont make any profit if they act that way, so it hurts them the most.

    Fuck make-up honestly!! Just a waste of money if you are ok with how you look. Don't worry about other people.

    You should have asked her: "can I help you?" or "is there a problem?" when she was staring at you. Smh at such sales people.

    Go back and buy your lipstick, you shouldn't feel intimidated by other girls. And if they're rude to you... well you can always slap them (just kidding)

    @switchstep I personally think makeup is strange and too unnatural. but I do like a lipstick look for some woman sometimes. does it makes me sexist? xD

    She was probably also concerned that you had a backpack on and thought you might steal something, so she came over to make it obvious that you were being watched. And of course she was jealous that you have good taste and a good brain. ;-)

    @pacohojaverde I was the only costumer and I made sure that she can view my hands(that's what I always do when I go to shops so that they will not think I am stealing). She might thought about that 😂😂

    @switchstep Haha but hey! The slap part is the funniest.

    Never let that happen again. Be confident of who you're, you shouldn't feel less.
