"and that's when I tried to hit him..."

[Qinhan]

The second picture of Depp above kinda puts the don't wear black boots with brown leather jacket argument to bed..

Do you mean it proves that it's ok to do so, or not? I'm genuinely interested in your answer as I wrestle with this one myself.

The core of the issue is he is belittling you and getting away with it. You can call him on it without getting violent, and he'll never do it again.

Simply walk right up to him, looking him in the eye the whole time. Get real close, inside his space, and simply say, " What do you mean by that?' Watch him start to blabber while you stare into his face from inches away.

I think the important point here is that you read "Hemmings", a staple in our house growing up. I could care less if you beat the sh-- out of him or not, man you read "Hemmings" you are a "GOOD" guy!

 

[Smithy]

Slightly unsubtle yes, but depending on the level of idiot, something ranging from "Bugger off" to "F@#k off" should do the trick nicely.

lol the cold and precise tone of this and the fact that it's so very clearly the voice of experience speaking made me chuckle.


But dya think he actually was trying to belittle you or is that perhaps giving him too much credit? From what was written in the OP it sounded like this guy is more likely just the type of doofus who has that in built knack of saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time. I pity the fool!!

He has to live with himself and the reactions he provokes EVERY single day

Sorry..I think he looks great.. I wish I could "own" a look like that!

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Just tell him 'No not Indy..but more like Joe Foreman'. Then knock him completely out..and go get a cup of coffee and relax. :boxing::coffee:

Joe Foreman - that's when Joe Frazier's fist hits the fist of George Foreman and the two meld into one bad dude JOE FOREMAN!... the relaxed, coffee drinking pugilist. (LOL)

Exactly!!

You know, it's when the tickets stop making stupid comments that you have to start worrying. People who own their look always sow envy and confusion in their wake!

 

[this one guy]

Funny, other (idiot) guys make cracks like this, but women tend to compliment...what does that tell ya?
Which do you care about? lol

Best point made here. :thumb:

 

[Jack Patch]

I work with 13 women and any hat even resembling a fedora gets me the "hello Indi" comment. I take it as a compliment since all of them think he is hot, at least that's what they tell me.

 

[Worf]

Thanks all I've had a wonderful time with this thread. Schizzy what right though... I was having a pt of a biss at this particular guys expense. He was/is "harmless" but he is CLUELESS. Unless it's Halloween or a costume party I'd never assume a person was going for the "Indy" look and certainly wouldn't say so unless he's wearing a pouch and a whip, then I'd know for sure. It's just frustrating trying to spend time to look like.... me, only to be called someone else. Still this was great fun and there's no other place I'd rather "vent" then my favorite lounge...

[Otter]

I have had the same comment when waring a kangaroo hide Barmah hat and a bright blue paclite goretex jacket ffs! Did I miss an episode of the films, Indiana Jones and the last Cagoule?

 

[Benny Holiday]

Oh I dunno, I've seen photos of Worf here and I reckon this bloke was prety darn brave (maybe suicidal!!) to make a smart**s remark to The Big Man! lol

 

[Spitfire]

When I am wearing my Irvin, the standard remark is always something like: "Hey, where did you park the Spitfire?" (At least they know)
And my standard answer is: "It's a Hurricane, but I don't recon you know the difference!"

 

[Otter]

Yes I get that as well, even when wearing the B-3, I usualy tell them its a B-17 and didn't they notice it parked out back.

 

[L'Onset]

Once I was wearing a blue blazer, slacks and a panama hat, I was told I looked like Pierce Brosnan. I took it as a compliment and answered the guy to say it to my wife.

 

[Stanley Doble]

Considering how many times this has happened I'm surprised no one has thought up a good comeback.
