You're Overdressed!

radicaldog · Jul 2, 2009

"I'm dressed how I like to dress"

or

"No, I was just bored"

or

"Am I?".

The correct answer is:

"That's because your mum always makes me put my suit back on after I've fucked her."

I get accused of being "overdressed" a lot. Even when I wear jeans, boots, and a sports jacket. I have become adept at finessing the comment. In this case, I would have responded, loud enough for as many people to hear me as heard the boor, "I dressed this way out of respect for the event, the engaged couple [name them], and the hostess. How did you decide what to wear?"

But sometimes, I just comment that I need to wear a jacket to conceal the GUN.

You can take some comfort that the boor would probably have dressed no differently under any circumstances. His rude comment is indicative of a pathetic loser trying to neutralize what he saw as a threat. Probably a life long pattern -- easier to cop out and be rude than to step up.

I've always thought it is rude to BE overdressed. The fundamental concept of manners is to make everyone else you're around feel comfortable.

Calling someone out on their being rude is also very rude. So, yes, in that sense it is rude to call someone out on being overdressed.

Why would you assume "you're overdressed" was meant with malice or as an insult?

Neither of those are required for a lack of propriety.

Showing up wearing t-shirt, shorts and flip-flop at an engeagement party is ok, while trying to pay some respect and wearing a tie and coat is rude!!! WTF??

Taking the pants off and showing my shiny thong just makes them shut up.

This thread has totally delivered.

Next time Skinny, look the guy up and down slowly, then say, "Well, I can see why you would feel that way...but I've had rough times before too, it'll be all right."

One of my personal rules of life are, I'd rather be overdressed, than underdressed.

I'd love to say something like that to someone being rude, but I dont think it would work out very well.

they might believe me if i use that one.

Still no one has eplained how a suit a tie is rude exactly?? Door men wear suits and ties...insurance salesmen wear suits and ties....game show hosts wear them...but you shouldn't wear one to an engagement party? I would think that if the occassion was that informal, then the host or hostess should have clarified the dress before hand. The onus is on the inviter not the invitee...it is extremely rude of them to not have done this, and that makes them arseholes - with a capital arse.
