I think someone laughed at my dinosaur jumper

On my way out of M&S food hall earlier wearing the rather splendid dinosaur jumper Father Christmas brought, and I think I got laughed at by a lady passing me. I could be wrong, but she had previously been walking in silence with a man, looked directly at my chest (where aforementioned dinosaur is proudly displayed) and laughed. One of those slightly derisive, snorty kinds of laugh.

I’m now thinking of making this jumper a sort of M&S uniform, and wearing it every time I go there, in the hope of bumping into her again, and through regular exposure, showing her the joys of dino knitwear.

What do we think? Perhaps I need to up my dinosaur game to be really effective? Dinosaur leggings? Dress? Face paint and matching sound effects?

You’re going to have to show us the jumper itself OP.

This is one of my fave outfits GrinI am beloved by toddlers.

People should wear whatever makes them happy. I quite like it when people wear clothes like you describe - they make me smile even though I would never wear them myself.

girlmom21 · 09/01/2022 16:45

If your clothes make stuck up people snort they're perfect.

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 09/01/2022 16:45

How rude if she did! Dinosaurs are awesome. I have jumpers, tee-shirts and a pinafore dress I wear and ds loves it!

I vote wear it often and invest in more!

LawnFever · 09/01/2022 16:46

I love your dinosaur jumper! More fool her if she was laughing at it (but I don’t reckon she was!)

Simonjt · 09/01/2022 16:46

Wear it with pride, I have a pair of dinosaur dungarees, I look totally roarsome when I wear them.

MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry · 09/01/2022 16:46

Who cares if people laugh at you? You don’t wear it to please others, right?

Simonjt · 09/01/2022 16:47

Or maybe I look T-rexcellent 🤔

Bluebluemoon · 09/01/2022 16:48

I like it OP but I'm not sure I wouldn't laugh too. It would be in a nice "aren't you quirky?" way though 😂

ThreeB · 09/01/2022 16:48

@Hugasauras where did you get those leggings? They're amazing!

TheHound86 · 09/01/2022 16:49

Where are those leggings from @Hugasauras

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/01/2022 16:50

It’s very jolly, I like it.

Perhaps she was surprised or tickled rather than being snide?

WheelieBinPrincess · 09/01/2022 16:50

I have a t shirt with a stag beetle on it, because they’re magnificent and need some PR.

I don’t care what anyone thinks, if they don’t want to support stag beetles or at least be aware of them I wouldn’t want them as friends.

PatriotCanes · 09/01/2022 16:52

Perhaps she was laughing at the Double Dinosaur as some would at Double Denim? If it in the same ball park?

StopStartStop · 09/01/2022 16:54

I'm drinking tea from my dinosaur mug.

RomeosGone · 09/01/2022 16:54

What a tool! Fuck her and wear your Dino with pride, you beautiful weirdo! 🥰

CantBeAssed · 09/01/2022 16:55

My DS 4 has a dinosaur tracksuit, purchased in m n s! You could perhaps suggest an adult size next time you're in store😁

Hugasauras · 09/01/2022 16:55

They're from Rainbows and Sprinkles. Prepare to say farewell to all your money.

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 09/01/2022 17:00

Amazing jumper op, I'd wear that!!

AndItDoesntSeemToMatter · 09/01/2022 17:01

Hopefully next time you see her you will be with a friend and will be unsure if she saw you so you can say "Do you think she saurus?!"

Indecisivelurcher · 09/01/2022 17:03

Oh lush.
I mostly want the stag beetle jumper though...

ofwarren · 09/01/2022 17:04

You sound fabulous OP. Fuck her, the snotty cow.

WeeWeeWeeeee · 09/01/2022 17:05

I want a Dino dress.
