@oldladyplays@wargamers.social It is likely a failing in me, but being secretly triumphant when someone walks into furniture because they can't figure out where you fit in their worldview is a joy. Old, NB, and Bi normally means I am so invisible I can't get the bill even when waving money in the air.

@Amgine@mamot.fr A failing? It's a SUPER POWER! I love it. "Distraction Person! Help me! That man stole my purse!" "Which man?" "That one near the tree!" "I see him. Wait here." :runs off to get ahead of the man, stopping ahead of him: He walks into a tree, drops the purse, and wanders away confused. "There you are ma'am, all safe and sound." "Oh, thank you Distraction Person! But my pronouns are he/him, I just haven't really gotten around to transitioning much yet. So maybe 'sir' next time?" You laugh quietly at yourself, apologise, and tip a salute to him, before leaping into the air and disappearing into the sky...

@Amgine@mamot.fr @oldladyplays@wargamers.social Now old, NB, and bi, but I've been this invisible since I was a teenager. I literally started wearing an anklet with bells on to announce my presence like a cat. Didn't work. But it was occasionally hilarious, as it made sneaking up on people comically easy. (Ironically, it wasn't clothes or piercings or tattoos that finally made me visible - wearing a mask has been the one thing that makes people notice me)
