Need to Vent/try to be nice but get made fun of :(

I was Christmas shopping the other day and I passed by a meet Santa setup and a couple of boys were having a chat with Santa and asked to come in but they had to pay. They joked about that it always come back to money and I made a comment in passing just to be friendly. The two boys then not so much have a go but felt like they wanted to be smart and tried to wind me up. I was only trying to be friendly and it sucks when people like those two guys felt the need to make fun of or wind me up for kicks. 😞 There have been plenty of times when I'm just going about my day, trying to be nice and some people like to make fun of it or wind me up because I look like a easy target. And it bugs me when I can never think of a solid comeback.

Well , l'm still thinking - had to pay wt ?  Only in Aus would they start charging to see Santa, now there's good will for ya eh. lt's already ridiculous and beyond he's not even allowed to be a chubby Santa anymore but now they're charging too. 

Anyway , these kids what can you say , they should've thanked you buttt.

Hi KFPDW,

 

I'm sorry you've been feeling like a target, especially when you're just trying to be nice. I think on most occasions such as these, that the behaviour of others is a reflection of themselves, not you. Perhaps they are in some ways unhappy and unfortunately choose to take it out on a kind stranger. I can definitely understand the frustration, but I hope this doesn't take away from who you are, which is clearly a kind and caring person.

 

Best wishes,

Beeee

I think you had to pay for the photos that were being taken when the kids are with Santa, I think. I'm not quite sure as it was all in passing. Yeah it's weird about the changes with Santa but I think part of the reason why they cut down on the chubbiness is because during this time of year, it's summer. And the heat can get quite humid. So I think Santa not being so chubby is a way to cope with the heat better as he's already wearing a thick woolly suit. As far as I know. Anyway, thanks for reaching out and replying to my post. Much Appreciated. 🙂 Merry Christmas.
