People who wear band shirts, does this actually happen?
I had a person in the grocery store run up to me and recite the first half of a verse to me hoping I'd respond. I said something like "what?" as they pointed to my shirt and repeated themself. I then appropriately finished the verse and smiled.
You and I are very different people. I don't care if I had the bands entire discography memorized, there is no way I'm rewarding that behavior.
Aww, that's a little sad. If somebody is so jazzed about a band that they get up the courage to sing in public, I can certainly return a few bars.
I had a person come up to me at pride yesterday and blurt out something about my wardrobe. It was kind of awkward and my first response was to be defensive because I've received a lot of abuse in my life, but I remembered where I was and it enabled me to see that probably, this person did not mean me harm and just wanted to interact. We did and I made a new neurodivergent friend. Maybe we can both lighten the fuck up.
Certainly couldn't hurt... This did remind me of the time some random dude in the shampoo isle at target started a conversation with me about my watch. It's not a particularly nice watch or anything but he had just bought one himself and was excited to talk to someone about it. It kind of weirded me out at first but it wasn't a bad experience overall.
