Who's been looking at MY tits?
I'm a massive fan of slogan t-shirts and many of you will already know about my favourite - "Social Networking Ruined My Life" - which is, more often than not, my Facebook profile picture. I have got plenty of t-shirts with unusual images or slogans on them - the weirder the better. My favourites include:
NEWSFLASH: I am special and will never be one of you
Life is not a popularity contents... Oh, wait, yes it is
Boomerangs are making a comeback
Video games ruined my life. Good job I have another two [followed by two red hearts and one faded out heart]
I love them. I think they are fun. I believe they add a bit of color and humour to the day.
Until this weekend, that is.
We were in a flooring shop and I was wearing my "NEWSFLASH" t-shirt. The shop was empty and we were stood at the till. One of the (male) shop assistants said, "Can I ask you a question? Why is it that you can wear a t-shirt with writing on it but when we try and read it we get accused of looking at your ti... [he searches for a better word] chest?"
I'd never thought about it in this way and now I'm over-thinking the whole situation. It was a genuine question but asked in a lighthearted manner. And if I'm being totally honest, I'd never noticed anyone, male or female, looking at my tits whilst wearing one of these t-shirts. But then I don't ever feel that I am the sort of person who experiences that type of attention anyway.
Slogans are meant to be read but am I subconsciously attention seeking?
