Funny story LU, but I have to agree with ZD (fancy that ZD!).
The lady who told you off probably did so because here she sees this aidel maidel with her hair down!!! Which to her is totally not tzanua. So she brings it to your attention. Of course many of us ladies, especially in chu”l, think it’s ok for a single girl to wear her hair down, so I’m not looking to suggest you change your hairstyle. Just mentioning it because a similar thing happened to me in the USA- A very Chassidish looking lady approached me on the street and pointed out the lack of tznius in something I was wearing. She was very polite and soft-spoken; there was no thought that a rock or paint were going to land on me or my clothing. I thanked her and was actually flattered that she considered my general appearance indicative of the fact that I belonged in the category of people who would want to be told such a thing. Happens to be I hadn’t noticed, and was glad she pointed it out.
Not the same to be yelled at in the tachana merkazit. But that’s pretty much par for the course in the tachana merkazit, whether someone thinks you’re getting on the bus too slowly or whether they don’t like how you’re dressed. See my comment on Sephard / Ashkenaz divide in
Israel thread….
