Vent: A stranger corrected my posture on the bus and it still bugs me

An older lady tapped my shoulder on the 72 bus last Tuesday and told me I was 'ruining my spine' by slouching. She then demonstrated proper sitting position for about 2 minutes while other passengers watched. Has anyone else had a complete stranger give them unsolicited health advice in public?

Oh man, that's so invasive! Something similar happened to me at the grocery store last year - this guy told me I was holding my reusable bags wrong and showed me his "ergonomic" method for like five minutes. It's wild how some people think they're your personal health coach in public. Did you end up saying anything to her?

Did you just kind of freeze up in the moment, or did you actually manage to say something back to her?
