I'm not usually so selfish...

I just don't want to tell anyone about this incredibly amazing site.

Okay, so maybe I might be a little selfish.

But I know that two weeks from the moment I tell anyone about Threadless, half of Miami will be wearing the same shirt as me. Granted, I might earn a couple of Street Team points, I'd rather just keep my mouth shut and own all these awesomely unique shirts.

Alright, maybe I'm a lot selfish. But I don't care anymore, keeping this secret is definitely worth it.

Whenever anyone asks me where I bought my tshirt, I'll just keep making stuff up. I'm good at that anyway.

I don't even remember how I came across Threadless. I've already bought ten of their shirts and now I'm not sure how I ever lived without them. And I sure don't planto stop buying tshirts anytime soon.

Does anyone else keep Threadless from their friends? Or am I the only one? Somehow, I doubt I'm alone on this. But I could be very wrong.

I accidentally told my friend. It made me feel like crap for days. Actually I still feel like crap cuz it was just yesterday.

abeadles on Oct 14 '05 at 5:42pm

REEALLLY!!?! i have told people and they bought t's....when you and your friend wear a threadless tee at the same time, it is a special bond that can never be replaced :)

snoonies585 on Oct 14 '05 at 5:47pm

I know what you mean. I love my best friend to death and I wish I could tell her about it. But her boyfriend is a loud mouth who would tell all his friends and they will tell all their friends. And it will be this vicious cycle that will never end!

I told my boyfriend though, and hes ordered a couple of shirts from Threadless too. But he can keep a secret. So at least I can share that with him. :o)

My younger brother found out about it though. He walked into my room while the site was opened on my computer. And he helped himself to look around. So now he wants me to buy him some shirts. I told him I would, bBut I'd kill him if he told any of his friends where he got them. So we'll see how that goes.

EclipseII on Oct 14 '05 at 5:48pm

I don't tell people, I'd rather not be copied off of, or have people with the same shirt as me. ( although I've seen another girl at my school wear stuff from threadless)

abeadles on Oct 14 '05 at 5:49pm

get all your friends to buy from your street team link, you would get free shirts!!!

silverfirebolt on Oct 14 '05 at 5:54pm

I've told a few people but I really don't want to tell many more.

MoniqueH on Oct 14 '05 at 5:54pm

It's not worth it and not everyone will use it. Also the more people who know the more people will find out about it and they won�t use it.

Leslee on Oct 14 '05 at 5:57pm

I've told a few people - namely, people who forget something right after they've been told. Which usually means they're the type of people to use a streetteam link wrong, too. Meh. They usually only buy one shirt and then never come back, so it's not really worth it for either of us, I guess.

I've only ever seen a stranger wearing Threadless ONCE, though, so maybe I ought to tell more people.

dorkeh on Oct 14 '05 at 5:58pm

I don't tell anyone. EVen if they don't even come on and buy, I'd hate it to become a trend.

I only told my good friend gina about the McGyver shirt, because she is obsessed with him. That is all.

jublin on Oct 14 '05 at 6:29pm

i know how you feel. i just hope they keep printing new shirts and stuff so then at least some of the shirts i already have will be a bit "rarer" to find.

d3d on Oct 14 '05 at 6:41pm

i'm with jubbles, retire old designs so the rarity factor remains. then at least there's no harm in actually promoting the site, rather than everyone keeping tight lipped about it.

flourpower on Oct 14 '05 at 6:43pm

I tell my friends when they ask, knowing that they are too cheap/boring to buy cool shirts. I've gotten 2 shirts for people as birthday presents, though.

MoniqueH on Oct 14 '05 at 6:50pm

Agreed. Hurry up and retire flowers in the attic.

funkie fresh on Oct 14 '05 at 7:51pm

my friend told me about threadless :) sharing is caring!!??!?!

xiv on Oct 14 '05 at 7:51pm

..it can be fun.

SosaJL1 on Oct 14 '05 at 7:55pm

You arent the only person in Miami who knows about Threadless...I wouldn't stress it.

snoonies585 on Oct 14 '05 at 8:12pm

Ok good, at least I'm not the only one who feels that way. And for sure if I were to tell people, they wouldn't use my link to give me points and would end up whoring the site around because thats how they are about things.

And I never said I was the only person in Miami who knew about Threadless. I didn't mean to imply it either. That would just be a stupid thing to think.

Luis Daniel on Oct 14 '05 at 8:16pm

nopes...don't tell anyone...

ep2007 on Oct 14 '05 at 9:27pm

agreed people shouldnt know about threadless. my friend told me about threadless and made me swear never to tell anyone. so i didnt. we would both end up wearing threadless shirts on the same day and just say something like "hey nice shirt".. but also we had things planned out about who buys which shirt and stuff like that. also you arent supposed to "overdo" the shirt. it ruins the originality of al l of the shirts. thirdly.. freshman somehow figured out about threadless at my school so i only wear shirts i know they dont have.. like mp(3) which is my favorite... and i told them if they ever buy it i'll kill them.

sailonsilvergirl on Oct 14 '05 at 9:39pm

i only tell really drunk people who won't remember.

vibrant on Oct 14 '05 at 9:47pm

I do the same thing and only tell my closest friends, so we can share the awesomeness of threadless. Other then that I just tell people I got it at a store or online.

sailonsilvergirl on Oct 14 '05 at 9:48pm

lucky for me, my very best friends don't quite love my threadless shirts as much i do. in fact, they think i'm a quack.

staplefish on Oct 14 '05 at 10:30pm

I told my friend. He went, "WTF, this stuff sucks."

That sicko!

prkswllflwr on Oct 14 '05 at 10:42pm

i live in miami too.

watch out, you've got competition. and i'm gonna tell everyone.

;) j/k.

FionaB on Oct 17 '05 at 4:52pm

I told my friend...and now she buys all the cool ones...and i cant get themm...

gamejunkie on Oct 17 '05 at 5:10pm

I would be very safe telling all my friends, if they would ask - they're all 39+ like me, and they don't wear t-shirts unless they're doing stuff like painting or mowing the grass. That is so very boring and sad to me. :(

Dacia on Oct 17 '05 at 5:26pm

Yeah me and one of my best friends, used to be the only ones at our school that we knew of who bought shirts. We made sure we didn't buy the same shirts and everything. Somehow lots of people in my grade know about it now..and one girl just bought a fathom farewell. I got sad cause i've wanted it for so long, and it was reprinted when I was broke.

flourpower on Oct 17 '05 at 5:29pm

I'm buying fathom farewell for a friend, which makes me very sad because I want it soooo much but she can't afford them and I promised it as a birthday present :(

BlahBlahBlahShutUp on Oct 17 '05 at 6:41pm

I keep it to myself and a few friends, that don't tell anyone. The great thing about Threadless, to me, is that it's original. No one has my shirt. No one knows where my shirt came from. That just look at in awe and whenever they ask where I got it, I normally just say, "I got it off the web"

KatieTheMofo on Oct 17 '05 at 6:52pm

Threadless already prints the shirts in limited quantities, so not EVERYONE would have it.

I like to tell people about Threadless. =)

The more people, the better!

MoniqueH on Oct 17 '05 at 6:56pm

People aren't dumb. You say web and they can find it in 2 seconds.

snoonies585 on Oct 17 '05 at 7:41pm

I ordered Fathom Farewell a couple days ago and I can't wait until it gets here! But its very nice of you, flourpower, to buy it for your friend even though you can't get it for yourself.

And I would be very sad too, Dacia, if I wasn't able to buy a shirt I've wanted but someone else I know buys it instead.

Anddd it makes me sadthat none of your friends, gamejunkie, wear tshirts. I can't imagine living without them!

Aye, I love keeping Threadless a secret!

jayseeca on Oct 18 '05 at 1:12am

I always tell people where I get my shirts... I like seeing random people wearing threadless around campus...

Scaper-X on Nov 12 '05 at 2:20pm

It's a mixture of "dude, they went as far as to ask about the shirt, why not reward them with the URL" and "NO! MY THREADLESS, NO ONE ELSE'S!". Still, it's nice to know the shirt was unique enough to elicit such an inquiry.

I often crack and offer a "threadless.com" answer. I really should give them my Street Team link instead.

velvetsamurai on Nov 12 '05 at 2:28pm

i am totally with ya! i mean as much as i want to spread the threadless word at the same time i dont want everyone else i know wearing the same thing. I have shared threadless with my roomates so then we combine shipping.

Stubby42 on Nov 12 '05 at 2:33pm

I tell people when they ask, I mean I like that not many people know about the company but most people forget the name of the company after the conversation moves on and never buy anything.

mandylion77 on Nov 12 '05 at 2:40pm

same here.... don't feel bad.

helloletshug on Nov 12 '05 at 2:48pm

oops.

hehe.

if people ask i just say internet.

but that'd only to be people i like.

theenjoisk8r on Nov 12 '05 at 2:54pm

i know exactly what you mean. i just use my best judgment on who to tell. me and my friends who know about it usually answer, a little birdy gave it to me, if anyone asks

LoveMeElectric on Nov 12 '05 at 7:53pm

Whenever people ask where I got my shirt[s], I try to distract them by falling down stairs or tripping on nothing.

But I'm going to have to think of a new plan, because there are only so many body parts to break and bruise in the name of Threadless...

TFMdesign on Nov 12 '05 at 7:55pm

you have bought an owful lot of tee shirts so far.

dorkeh on Nov 12 '05 at 7:56pm

I told my friend Olivia, who is my penpal, so she lives far away.

And my friend Gina, because she is obsessed with MacGyver. That is it though.

I never ever tell people where I buy my shirts, usually.

snoonies585 on Nov 13 '05 at 11:54pm

Ok good! Thank goodness I'm not the only obsessive compulsive territorial Threadless person around here.

And thanks LoveMeElectric I actually LOLed at your comment!

P.S. Hello Scaper-X, my Dadeland Mall friend :o)

Scaper-X on Nov 14 '05 at 12:10am

Hihi! Yay for territorial Threadless people. Expect some Street Team pointage tomorrow around sale-time!

xsie on Nov 14 '05 at 12:34am

well,i understand (: almost thought i was weird.

but i do share that w best friends and my siblings.in fact,i bought 2 for a friend for his birthday.

kyoki on Nov 14 '05 at 5:26am

i came here because of a web comic i read, and a lot of other people did too,, and bought a lot of stuff cause the guy has a ton of street points now. i am sad that i did not find this earlier. i am also sad that right now i am completely broke.

tripmachine on Nov 14 '05 at 8:14am

i told my friend and she bought two of the shirts i had even though she knew... i was annoyed.

i wouldnt care if she bought them and didnt realize i had them but she would come to me and say " i bought (shirt), i hope you dont mind".... well i do.

Polly87 on Nov 14 '05 at 8:17am

i wont ever tell my friends, nope nope. threadless does not belong to them, only to me muah ha ha.

puma_blues on Nov 14 '05 at 8:17am

Crap, I'm telling everyone I think will like the site. Good for them, good for me, good for Threadless. I get excited like the dork I am when I see people out and about wearing a threadless tee.
