You gotta stop wearing the sneakers and get some tap shoes. ---

I’m _indivisible_ with justice for all. In case anybody wanted to know. Fnord. ---

[QUOTE=Khadaji] Here’s a post I wrote about that back in 02: [/QUOTE] Hey! I found my doppelganger! Department stores are the worst. I think those Sensormatic panels around the doors activate my invisibility. I don’t think anyone at Macy’s has ever seen me. ---

[QUOTE=phil417] Yep, I’m invisible. I’m a middle-aged woman, w/a middle-aged (size 12-14) body. [/QUOTE] I vaguely recall an episode of _Six Feet Under_ that dealt with this phenomenon. The women took advantage of it by shoplifting! :eek: ---

[QUOTE=The Shroud] At least once a day, I’ll be walking down the street on a predictably straight path, and a fellow pedestrian will make a beeline straight into me. I’m good at swerving, so contact is rarely made, but still, I always wonder to myself, am I invisible? Tonight I went to pay for my dinner at a bar, and the waitress was momentarily confused; she thought I was a new customer. I probably could have walked out without paying. Anybody else here feel invisible? Can you see this post? [/QUOTE] post? what post? did you guys hear anything? sorry, I couldn’t resist. 🙂 ---

One of my daughter’s “claims to fame” came at an improv comedy club. She suggested the theme for a skit: “Look at me, I’m invisible.” They carried on the theme the whole night. We were so proud. Invisible, but proud. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-invisible/452647.md?page=1)
