is they make you look like an idiot when you try to talk to the person about Threadless. Story as follows:

My friend Jill recently went to an interview for a position as Residential Advisor at a college. She told me that the student interviewer (on the panel of three) was wearing "What Would Macgyver Do?".
She's fairly new to the Threadless craze, but recognised it because I own the Threadless shirt and wear it quite a bit.

She asked him excitedly "Is that from Threadless?"
him: "umm what?"
Jill: "Your shirt. You got that from Threadless didn't you?"
him: "ummm... I got this from Byron..."
Jill: "oh... nevermind then." :(

So, thanks to threadless rip-off merchants, my friend now looked like an idiot before the interview had even begun.

The End.

btw, Byron = Byron Bay, Australia.

I saw a Dark Side of the Garden on a purple tee the other week. Printing looked good quality.

When I was speaking to her afterwards, she told me it was on a green shirt. A true threadless fanatic would have known right away it was a fake.

if you don't want to look like an idiot, don't ask. even if they said, "yes, I did get it from threadless." what are you going to say? "Cool, I have some of their t-shirts." and that's pretty much the conversation.

i've had talks before with a person who spotted my shirt. We talked about other shirts we had, shirts we wanted, how we found out about threadless and if we used the forum much.

And whilst it wasn't the deepest conversation i've had, it was cool to have that connection with someone i previously hadn't met before.



Or you could do what goodinyoudies suggests, and don't take that step outside your comfort zone to make a connection with someone.

Well, yeah that's just implied. Not even part of the conversation. Usually I just point to their t-shirt and then to mine and take her to the point, usually.
