This is just ridiculous...I has the same situation at the mall some years back....I was trying on a tank (couldn't wear a bra with it), and this lady accosted me outside the dressing room and told me that I was the kind of person who got women like her raped! I was stunned, but mostly because it would have been a desperate man indeed that would have accosted her!!! Fact of the matter is....do you NEED a paddy? No...have you worked hard enough to earn the $$$$ to get one....yes! For the most part, none of us NEED the majority of the things we own, but it seems to me from hearing everyone on this forum, that we all appreciate our things. That to me is the key....
