Once upon a time there was a guy named Tom who was really freaked out by breastfeeding, I mean just the thought of it grossed him out and made him want to vomit. He couldn't even rationalize why he felt this way.
So one day he is at a restaurant having lunch with his work buddy, James, and about two tables away, directly in front of him, a mother begins breastfeeding her baby, about 6 months old. Tom can't stand the sight, but since it's directly in front of him, he's having a really hard time not looking, too.
Finally after about five minutes, he looks across the table at his buddy James and says, "Hey man, does breastfeeding, uh...gross you out or anything?"
His buddy says, "I don't know, who cares anyway?"
"Well I do. It just really grosses me out and makes me want to puke. Switch seats with me if you really don't care.
James starts laughing uncontrollably, and between fits of laughter he manages to get out "Don't...be...such a little girl! ...Weirdo...I'm telling...the whole office!" so Tom and James switch seats, then they pay for their meals and leave.
Tom doesn't try to harass others just because he has a strange reaction to breastfeeding. Tom minds his own business and uses coping strategies to manage his own neuroses. Tom is a good guy. Be like Tom.
