OMGosh I almost spit my coffee out! Priceless, that has MADE my day!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the line "f*ck off back to your bored wife".
ReplyDeleteI think suit is entitled to share his opinion without being told to F-off. He appeared to do so in relatively respectful way.
ReplyDeletePeople can be SO-O-O-O-O officious!
ReplyDeleteAlso note in England, "fanny" means vagina.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Respectfully disagree - I don't think anyone is "entitled" to tell someone else how to dress if it doesn't fit their idea of what is proper.
ReplyDelete@Fangirl Files: And that's why British people will snigger if you talk about a "fanny pack".
ReplyDeleteThe British term is "bum bag"
Another word for fanny is hinny. Because it's the opposite of ass. (Wikipedia will explain the difference between an ass and a hinny)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan C. Of course we can all wear what we desire. But we are specifically entitled to share our thoughts. Free speech is a critical right. You don't have to like what is said. But you can't deny the speaker the right to voice their opinions.
ReplyDeleteWhat if it became incorrect to speak disparagingly of a political party or a religion.
We can say what we want, when we want. I personally think it should be in a respectful manner, but I suppose that's actually not required.
Smiles!

I guess you are "entitled" to share your thoughts about other people's clothing choices, but why would you? Unless asked, judging a fashion show, or in a position of authority over the person (that is, responsible in some way for them)? If it were my own kid, I would still express my views only in private. And anyway, your entitlement to express yourself goes with everyone else's entitlement to think you're an arrogant moron.
ReplyDeleteAnon- yes, of course free speech matters, I agree. However I think "Live and Let Live" also has its place.
ReplyDeleteSo what was his motivation? Did the man say that to put the woman in her place? Embarrass her? Her dress made HIM uncomfortable? Isn't that his problem, not hers?
Have men so little self-control that women must dress in order to not "bother" them?
