If you're going to wear your collar to the store....

[Aabidano]

I'll preface this by saying I don't have anything against gays. I don't understand the attraction, but different strokes for different folks and all that. Like so many things, someone's sexual preference falls into the "none of my business" category. Indifference would sum it up best.

That said, if you're going to wear your collar to <insert building supply company store name> you ought to be a bit thick skinned I'd imagine.

There was a very femme looking guy with a kind of poofy faux mohawk wearing a stainless steel collar, tight black shorty shorts and what I can only call a ladies tank top in <insert building supply company store name> Sat morning. I have no clue what happened afterwards, I saw him in the paint section and let out an involuntary "snork" (which I hope wasn't audible, he was quite a ways from me), not because he was gay but he looked like an absolute idiot.

After I'd checked out I saw him leaving, sobbing, on the verge of tears with his companion patting him on the back. I'd assume someone said something to him, or laughed at him. I really felt bad for the guy, but given the area I live in I'm not sure what sort of reaction he expected either.

I live in a moderately rural area, until recently the population was mostly farmers, bikers, carneys (carnival workers), hippies, drunks and misc rednecks. They still make up a good chunk of the population.

Yes it's impolite and no I don't agree with it, I felt bad about my reaction. I'd think it ought to be expected, at least to some extent as well.

Collars are becoming more common.

I don't mind what people wear or their sexual preferences. I universally dislike annoying people though. If he was minding his own business I don't see the problem but at the same time, I agree that you've got to have a thick skin about things if you're going to buck the usual hick attitude in rural areas.

That type of collar wouldn't have been as bad. I've seen a number of people wearing them over the years, though no one who was on a leash. My little sister used to, along with green hair back in her punk days in the early 80s.

This was a couple inch tall B&D looking contraption.

I think this is the mature equivalent of your kids wanting to go to school in their PJs or in a costume. There comes a point where you draw the line between public and private lives. You're free to be a bondage gimp as much as you want... but you may just want to keep that to yourself if you can't take being laughed at. You're free to be a hole on a leash, we're free to snork at you.

Couldn't agree more, the idea that anyone would go out like that in public and expect everyone to be excepting and not so much as look at them sideways is a joke.

Just for the record, I would go to work in PJs if I could.

I work from home and "get dressed" for work. Usually just shorts and a t-shirt, I'd feel funny working in my PJs.

[Aardor]

I'm working in my pajamas right now.

[*~*stragi*~*]

pajamas are for people with no self esteem

[Xyun]

There's being gay, then there's being a flaming uberfeminine oversensitive fag. This guy was both.


For the record, I sleep in my boxers and if I want to feel comfy I grab my terry cloth robe. Never really liked PJs. For work I wear my very sexy uniform.

[Winnow]

I don't sleep in PJs either but I would wear them to work if I could. I wouldn't work in my underwear (unless at home!)

Sweats would also work.

[Asheran Mojomaster]

Pajama pants and a nice robe. Thats what I wear most of the time actually. I get dressed if I go to school or go out in public, but once I know I'll probably be in for the night, or in the morning before I have to go out in public, I put on my robe and pajamas. I like to be comfortable.

hehe most of the time I work in my PJs yay for telecommuting!

Who wouldn;t laugh at some idiot dressed like that? It has nothing to do with gayness and has everything to do with no dressing like a buffoon in public.

Funniest shit I ever saw was some hilljack woman in Lowes that came in during early spring....she was as round as she was tall and was wearing a pair of pink sweatpants, a pair of those boot with the fake fur on top (sweats tucked in of course) and a "who farted?" sweatshirt. Now you just know this woman would also be the one to cart her kid around in stores dressed in nothing but a t-shirt and a diaper. Walk into any Walmart in the country and just go around snapping pictures of these rednecks for much fun that will last a lifetime.

When everyone's a redneck in a state, you need need to create sub categories to define the level of neckness.

I think it is Ohio slang for hillbilly. I use it quite often
