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?

I love it OP. Wear with pride 🦕

Foolish woman - she clearly didn't realise you were part of the Sisterhood Wink. If I meet any women wearing dinosaur anything I immediately assume they are awesome, in the dame way as I make the assumption about anyone with an IheartJKR mug Grin.

OP

I am not sure, but I think you have a thing for dinosaurs, you are being a wee bit subtle for me ;)

If I am right, DS has an awesome dinosaur cap, that I think would look fab with your jumper and leggings

I think those of you who are saying you like my jumper are possibly looking at @Hugasauras 's post as I didn't put a picture of mine up, but, as a beautiful coincidence, it's the same jumper, just in a different colour!!

Here's mine

@DelightfulDinosaurs Wonderful taste (I also have that colour) Grin

I used to have a cat hat - I say used to because it blew away on a very windy day and I was gutted. Wore it every day where I live in the winter (London) and nobody batted an eyelid. Then we went away for a week to another part of the country - more rural - and had people openly pointing and laughing at it in a supermarket.

WheelieBinPrincess · 09/01/2022 17:16

Are you sure though OP because that’s a perfectly acceptable, quite subtle dinosaur jumper?

I would wager she might be someone who doesn’t believe they ever existed. They are out there, my dad dated one.

DelightfulDinosaurs · 09/01/2022 17:17

@Hugasauras you have marvellous taste. I also want those leggings

It would be acceptable to lower your head and charge like a triceratops in this situation.

pastypirate · 09/01/2022 17:18

As threads go this one is wonderfully surreal.

dgirluk · 09/01/2022 17:18

I saw a lady in the supermarket in a dinosaur jumper - I absolutely loved it! Wanted to ask her where she got it but didn’t :(

DelightfulDinosaurs · 09/01/2022 17:19

@StopStartStop Ooh I'd like a dinosaur mug. The closest I have is a hedgehog one. I don't think he counts.

Just signing in as another owner of those rainbows and sprinkles dinosaur leggings.
This is inspiring me to buy a dinosaur jumper while the sale is on.

Someone laughed at my rainbow leggings in my hometown when I was walking to the supermarket and she was coming out of it.
She was a kind person though so she explained she was just delighted by the nice bright colours.
She might have been lying but I bought it.

Just laughing with no follow-up is a bit rude, but clothes can definitely make people laugh.

I have a dinosaur patterned dress that has had more comments than literally anything else I have ever bought.
My son is crazy for dinos still and I bought it to wear with him but I've worn it to parties and to work and it's just always being commented on.
Wear what you bloody like any enjoy making people react!!!

DelightfulDinosaurs · 09/01/2022 17:22

@MsFogi Well, same! I think she's missing out.

@Treecreature I might try that next time. I'm quite short so could get her square in the midriff.

I like your outfit , and the dress you posted in the second picture.
Snooty lady isn't worth thinking about!

@needmoreshinys

Sounds perfect. @Hugasauras and I can fight over it.

How rude!
Forget her she is obviously one of those that was a mean girl when she was younger. Makes fun of Thera to feel better about herself.
I love it that you have a dinosaur jumper and would like to know where you got it from? cxx

ChelBelle · 09/01/2022 17:26

Sorry I mean others

WonderfulYou · 09/01/2022 17:27

If I saw it I would laugh too but not in a snooty way just because I’d love it and it would make me happy.
Any animal or cartoon clothing makes me happy!

CSJobseeker · 09/01/2022 17:29

This thread reminds of this meme that I love.

I think you're going a bit overboard regarding her response......but I did like the matching sounds effects suggestion XD

viques · 09/01/2022 17:31

Next time do T. rex arms and ask her to reach things down from the high shelf for you......

Wiredforsound · 09/01/2022 17:32

Team Dinosaur here. If you’ve given some snotarse a laugh well, that just 5 seconds she’s not laughing at someone else.
