My coworker just grabbed me by my cashmere sweater and was trying to pull me upstairs, I almost gave her a good 1-2. There used to be a little 3rd grader who would always run up to me and hug me and I couldn't pry him off, the last time he grabbed my rolled lapel with his fist as hard as he could and was wrinkling it, I shook him like a salt shaker. Anybody else get riled up when people get needlessly rough with the threads, or am I a sociopath?

i'm pretty sure you're not alone, i got really pissed off at a friend who grabbed me by the hood of a b. son hoodie, and stretched it a little.

yeah it's a pet peeve but what are you going to do. it's life, and there are coworkers, and kids, and family, and friends that will do this. call it love patina, or love tug/pull, or love whatevers. give them a break. your clothes arent that important you have to shake the kid like a saltshaker. whatever that means, i hope it wasnt violent.

I don't like when people do it, especially to sweaters or t-shirts. I generally shove them or punch them if they do, especially if they are friends.

I too abuse small children for touching clothing

meanwhile, back in the real world, when my little brother spilled red paint all over my rag & bone shorts, I laughed, sent them to the cleaners, and went on with my life.

So is this the real reason behind buying those somets? There isn't enough fabric for a child to get their hands around.

I don't really mind it. Although, this old lady tried to cut off the four white stitches on one of my Margiela sweaters, and I had to lay the smack down on her arthritic ass.

I like to keep a two foot bubble around me in all directions, an area I like to call the "me zone". woe befall those who violate said zone, for as a 4th degree black belt, my fists travel so fast they break the sound barrier, sending out a shock wave that causes pregnant women in a 10 mile radius to feel premature contractions

let me just say riding on planes is an interesting experience (especially for the hospitals in the area in which I'm traveling to)

the other night I was riding in the metro and some ************* had the moxy to try to set next to me, violating said 'me zone'. I wasted no time in punching her so hard that the anscestors of the sheep that produced the fabric of the merino sweater I was wearing (prada sport, $599) felt a gale force wind rip through the space time continuum, a wind so strong that it smashed through forests, unleashing a riptide of loose debris and water, giving birth to the legend of the great flood.
