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?

It's a bit more nuanced than that - when I saw people confirming the correct spelling, I just thought that's great to see and no need to comment. It's when people confidently come on here telling others they should google it and then are wrong themselves that (like a few others) I get a bit more irritated!

Isn't that simply the application of a LART to someone giving an example of Muphry's Law? Or rather, more exactly, Skitt's Law?

Do you mean this friendly internet search provider?

He probably knew fav band before fav band had even met each other to become a band.
Men chatting shite are so tiresome

I think the more recent argument goes "other people have also got it wrong so the incorrect version is just as right as the correct one".

Reminds me of the random male amateur golfer who insisted on giving tips to the female pro next to him...

Ex-fucking- actly. Just piss off entirely and when you get there piss off again. Losers.

Me to student: ooh you like the Ramones
Student: What?
Me: Your t shirt. The Ramones. One of my favourite bands.
Student: oh, they're a real band?
🙄

No need to apologise. I was just being a smart arse because I hadn’t read your username 😬

Or the man who had recently read a book by a world-famous female auther and EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW SHE HAD WRITTEN THE BOOK explained the plot to her in excuciating detail...

Love the dinosaur noises!

You could also have mentioned Interstellar Overdrive. My husband to be played this to me repeatedly in the early days of our relationship and I married him anyway. Well over 40 years later, I have come to feel quite fond of it.

Fairy nuff, it's when I see a three year old in a Ramones or JD Unknown Pleasures t- shirt that I do roll my eyes. 😅

lol my 5 year old has a Blondie hoodie, I make her listen lol. She also has a Man Utd football kit because my brother is an arse and bought it for her knowing I’d only want to use it to clean up vomit :)

No. One is right and one is wrong.
You are the one who is wrong.

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?

Because you’re a woman.
And he thought he’d put you back in your place.

Did he mean to be showing off so much small dick energy?
We should warn them, this style of questioning is definitely a tell. If they don't know, they need to be told.

I didn’t know this was a thing. I thought it was probably a clumsy attempt at flirting with you.

Well, "another thing coming" has been in use since early 1900s, but you are right that "think" probably came first. I kept a note of a whole thread where this got argued about years ago - I'll see if I can find it...

makes me cringe very hard if i see a grown up wearing a football top.

I get why you’re proud of yourself op and you were able to put the patronising dick back in his box but I voted YABU because you still felt the need to validate yourself in his eyes. The day it won’t matter what some random fuckwit thinks and you just walk on by ignoring him, is the day to cheer.

But there's nothing wrong with being a fair weather fan.

I've personally never had this question, but did enjoy overhearing a girl reply to this with "name three women that like you".

Bless you for trying to style it out but no, you’re wrong.

I think that's a moo point now...
