    Default Yeehaw? Wtf?

    Why is it, that when I go to the shops wearing a simple straw cowboy hat to cover the fact that I'm having a seriously bad hair day, so many people feel the need to point and laugh and make snide little comments of "Yeehaw!" at me?

    I went to the shops before to get some rubber bands and some bread, and walking through the tiny little mall I had 3 people point at me and say "Yeehaw!" or "Giddy Up Cowgirl!". Two people were ones I walked past, the other was when I walked past a health food store and overheard one of the ladies at the counter laugh and say "Yeehaw", at which the other girl snickered. I was seriously there for like 5 minutes and had numerous people pointing and laughing at me and making cowboy comments.

    Is a cowboy hat really THAT much of a bizzare fashion statement?? I did not realise that it was such a huge deal. Considering how many popular stores are selling them now, I was not aware that a cowboy hat was something that so many people would laugh at and make a big deal out of.

    It made me feel very uncomfortable and I ended up just getting the rubber bands and going home, as I didn't want to go into the supermarket to get some bread.

    I wish we lived in a world where people were more tolerant of shit that doesn't affect them at all.

    People will do or say anything to talk to a pretty girl. My best friend (who is gorgeous) is constantly informed she is "thin" or "pale"....info that is OBVIOUS to anyone with eyes....

    Could it be nationalism- "cowboy" accessories seem silly to a nation founded as a literal outlaw colony? (no disrespect intended, I wouldn't dare...)

    And people wonder why I stopped wearing my oilskin a few years after living in Australia... way to much flack for that garment. Pity it was necessary back then, all that bloody rain. Last few years I'd only wear it if it was truly nasty out.

    Just a bunch of yokels who should otherwise keep their mouth shut. Maybe you just look really cute in the clothing?

    I dunno. Those two women in the health food store were being REALLY bitchy. The way they said it and laughed was really really bitchy and nasty, it made me very uncomfortable. And there was other people who were pointing and laughing.

    It wasn't like they found my hat offensive, just that they were mocking it.

    I just don't get it. I might wear my hat to the shops again tomorrow and if anyone gives me grief I'll tell them to go fuck themselves.

    Unless you are in a country town then wearing a cowboy/girl hat isn't that worn. Most people I have known keep their cowgirl hats for special events where it is an accessory to help dress up your outfit as such..... not as everyday wear.

    I guess everyone is so used to people wearing hats these days that see-ing someone wear a cowgirl hat is unusual?

    I really really dunno. I personally wouldn't care what you wore.

    In Nashville, you will get bitch slapped for pointing and laughing at somebody wearing a cowboy hat. Screw those rude people!

    Add a big, foofy feather. People just stare at my hats when I throw a feather on! XDD
    (Of course, people just stare at my hats anyway! XDD)

    You could play along. Use a southern accent or, even more fun, look at them like they're the ones who are different. XD

    Whatever, you rock it and you're hot. They're just jealous hags.
