Apparently, some people find it’s funny that women over a certain age become invisible. A friend in Arizona who is about to turn 60 told me it’s a running joke in her family that people are always overlooking or ignoring her. “I was at lunch with my family recently and the waitress went around the table taking everyone’s order. Then she walked off without taking mine,” she reports. “I had to get up and find her to give her my order. When I returned, everyone was laughing that here was the proof that I really was invisible.”
