Got scolded for helping an uncle while in my gym clothes
ShockingI am shaken and super annoyed so i just need to rant here.
So i just finished my lower body day at the gym (was literally drenched in sweat lol) and was waiting for the bus home at the stop near novena.
i was wearing my usual gym fit, active cropped tank top and high rise lined shorts. Anyway, this frail uncle comes up to me looking damn lost. He holds up his appointment card and asks me in Chinese how to get to tan tock seng. i could tell he was quite anxious so i spent a few mins checking the bus routes on my phone and explaining to him which stop to alight at.
Then suddenly this middle-aged lady walks past, looks me up and down with the most disgusting face, and literally says out loud: "Young girls nowadays no shame, dress like this come out and then still want to disturb old man."
HUH??? i was literally just helping him? The uncle looked so confused and i was just stunned like vegetable. i didn't even have the energy to fight back cuz my legs were jelly from the workout, so i just ignored her, but she kept tsk-ing until she boarded her bus.
Like i’m literally just existing in my gym clothes and doing a good deed? Since when did wearing a tank top and shorts become disturbing people? i feel bad for the uncle cuz he wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t explain himself and he thought he did something wrong too.
Really upset. Tried to be a helpful person and still get slut-shamed by people. Apparently wearing gym clothes in public and taking to an uncle at same time is a crime now
