Embarassing or awkward or may be nothing.

This is the first time I am writing about a topic like this. But I had to write because it happened twice.

This afternoon when I was going down in the elevator, there were already 5 other women (working a different company above) involved in a giggly conversation. I was greeted by an unusual blush and smile by a south Asian looking female. I couldn't help but over hear the conversation. That is when I understood the reason behind the greeting, they were talking about tan marks and some details of how they avoid it. Trust me the door couldn't have opened any slower.

Again this evening I was @ the gym. Again 5-6 ladies around me but mostly senior citizen and a TV in front playing inside edition. And then comes the moment, a closeup shot of oversized stretch marks filled middle section and a doctor drawing out the portions that could be removed to make her look pretty again. The two ladies next to me gasped for a second before starring @ each other and giggling. I guess that was the first instance when I actually was relieved @ an ad break.

May be I am just old school, it at least awkward and weird that it happened twice today.
