People who wear band shirts, does this actually happen?
My friend was wearing a Ramones shirt and I asked her to name a single member of the band.
Hey mostly men on Lemmy, does this even happen? No? Checkmate, women.
I had a person in the grocery store run up to me and recite the first half of a verse to me hoping I'd respond. I said something like "what?" as they pointed to my shirt and repeated themself. I then appropriately finished the verse and smiled.
You and I are very different people. I don't care if I had the bands entire discography memorized, there is no way I'm rewarding that behavior.
I had a person come up to me at pride yesterday and blurt out something about my wardrobe. It was kind of awkward and my first response was to be defensive because I've received a lot of abuse in my life, but I remembered where I was and it enabled me to see that probably, this person did not mean me harm and just wanted to interact. We did and I made a new neurodivergent friend. Maybe we can both lighten the fuck up.
Aww, that's a little sad. If somebody is so jazzed about a band that they get up the courage to sing in public, I can certainly return a few bars.
Nope. Every once in a long while someone will say "Nice shirt!".
… no. Although 2ce when I wore death metal band t shirt while walking my dog a car started blasting one of their songs. At least I thought it was one of their songs…. I went to the show that time and saw them live and they were great so I wanted to support them by buying merch. I have a ton of shirts like that.
