AIBU to not want to see offensiveT-shirts in public places?

[magentastardust]

We are not long back from our summer holiday, whist at the airport waiting to depart I took DD2 to the toilet ..and had to pass a young guy with a T-shirt on that said FUCK ME in huge letters on it. He was in the bar area...but we had to pass it to go to the toilet and DD has just learnt to read so is going through the stage of sounding out and reading everything she sees.

Last year at an Airport in Paris , we were queuing right behind a young man with a T shirt with a full T shirt sized print of a topless woman playing a card game in provocative pose whilst going through security .....I don't think I am a prude but surely it shouldn't be okay for clothing like that to be worn in such public places ? Or do I sound about 80 ! I just think If I was check in staff/Airport staff etc I would comment and ask them to cover their top up.

I had a Slipknot "people=shit" t-shirt as a teenager. I grew up.

I agree OP. My local nursery asked a parent to tone down what she wore as she had a couple of tops with offensive words on them and was wearing them to pick up her child. Obviously the children cannot ( usually) read at that age but they still felt it was inappropriate and sometimes older children came with parents to collect siblings. Not sure how the mother responded though.

There already is 'a line for what's socially acceptable', but some idiots will always cross that line, just as some people cross the line of social acceptability in many other regards.

This.

I saw a guy wearing a bullfighting t-shirt at a hotel in India. Nothing really says 'I'm a stupid arsehole' like a t-shirt which is that socially inept does it?

I was at a children's attraction last week and a woman was wearing a swearshirt that read "I love my husband with all my boobs. I would say heart but my boobs are bigger."

I wasn't particularly offended, I just thought what a stupid thing to want to display on your front. I did judge her - as being stupid.

Anyway I don't know like slogan tshirtd because you can't read them on yourself so you're just wearing it for others to read. Which seems odd to me.
