I've been suffering from S.H.I.I. Does anybody have a remedy other that jumping up and down and screaming?

Once again, I seem to be suffering from S.H.I.I.*

I used to suffer from this years ago. I guess I never realized what was happening, but lately it’s recurred with a vengeance.

I was golfing a couple of weeks ago by myself. I’d teed off on the 7th how, pulled my shot into the rough about 200 yards on the left side under a tree.

A couple of guys pulled up to the tee box. One got out, grabbed his driver, teed up his ball, looked down range, and hit his shot.

I stood watching, not believing that he didn’t see me, and watched his shot sail past me down the fairway.

Before the 2nd guy could shoot, I shouted and waved my arms. They looked my way in confusion, and I gestured at them like “Hey, I’m right here!!!” He finally realized there was another human being on the course, and stopped before attempting to kill me.

I hit my shot towards the green and continued on. The other guys drove down the fairway, picked up their ball, drove by me and said “sorry, we didn’t see you.”

I mumbled something about “no harm, no foul” while glaring at them, and they continued on.

Today, I finally realized. They didn’t see me because I was Fricking Invisible! (However this thing works, it obviously included my golf cart.) I’ve been affected by this disease many times over the years. I always thought I was being ignored by the bartender, waitress, other drivers, teachers, mothers.

It can also affect your online presence. Emails that you thought got lost in delivery, texts that got ignored. In reality, they’re simply invisible!

I can see this would be a very powerful tool if I could figure out how to make it SHVI.

I suppose that would take the spontaneity out of the event.

Does anybody else suffer from this terrible disease?

Spontaneous Human Involuntary Invisibilty *

It’s a real thing, there are plenty of websites describing it. It was even on the Coast to Coast AM radio show!
