To think random man got his just deserts to his unsolicited comments today?

[Weartherose]

I'm wearing a sports top today to indicate support for a match later today.

Was at the supermarket today and this man, clocked my shirt rolled his eyes and riffed off the Name Three Songs comment and said "I bet you can't name 3 players". So I asked him if he was at the stadium (200 miles away) for momentous match a fortnight ago when X Y and Z scored?

He had the grace to look a bit abashed.

Why do some folk assume you are not fans when you wear band/location/ten shirts? Is it just to show off their superior knowledge?

Glad to be of asistance 😉

It’s mostly based in misogyny, in my experience. Always men of a certain age questioning women. I’d ignore it!

Is it ridiculous sexism? Poor little woman can’t possibly know anything, she’s just wearing her husband’s top? Like me, couldn’t name a single player, my DH bought me the top a million years ago, I don’t follow the team, he does, but the top is nice 🤣 Went to a game at Wembley so needed an appropriate top.

I wouldn't think that's effective at all? They will almost certainly congratulate themselves for spotting that she couldn't name the songs?

This happened to me once when I was wearing a band tee and some tiny dicked clown decided to sneer and ask me if I even knew any of their songs.

I was actually shagging the drummer at the time. Told Mr Clownface if he'd not been such a cunt he could have come for a pint with the band. It's been 15 years and I still feel a little bit smug about it.

It's not...Desert is the correct spelling for 'Just deserts'.

But who cares?

who cares whether they or don’t congratulate themselves?

this DD gets it bang on. She truly doesn’t give a fig what they think

@Othermentions that's different from saying it's effective, isn't it?

You know why. It’s because you’re a woman. And it’s not “some folk”. It’s “some men”. And it’s because they are narrow minded misogynists. HTH.

By the way, unless it’s the West Lothian tiddlywinks B team shirt, it wouldn’t be outing to name the team.

Should have suggested a cash amount for the bet before you answered! You could have left the supermarket richer than you came in.

I never knew that!

That is legendary! 👐🏻

Thought the user name was the clue!

I really want someone to do this when I'm wearing my Meat Loaf top so I can reply with "What? They're a band?"

Its not

Legend.

She doesn't care.

She is confident that she could name the entire back catalogue of every band who's merch she wears, she doesn't need to prove it to anyone, let alone middle age men trying to either embarrass her or engage her in conversation.

This would be funny if Op was incorrect but she is not…. You are.

It's just desserts! Can't believe how many people have got it wrong (and yes auto correct does do it) 😂
Desert- eg Sahara
Dessert- eg trifle

If you don't believe me just use your friendly Internet search provider 😊

It’s desserts. Desert is where the camels live

Exactly

by dignifying them with an appropriate response is giving them what they want

I get this when I wear a Wales shirt (I live in south east England - my mum is Welsh so when the rugby is on I'm Welsh through and through!). They soon regret it when I want to have a conversation about the politics of WRU, passages of play and how the new laws are changing the game
