Perhaps I should be willing to accept this when putting on a t-shirt with writing and/or pictures on it, but nonetheless the following bothers me; I do not like it when people make dorky/stupid remarks about the t-shirts I wear or really acknowledge the shirt in general. This also applies to sweatshirts. For example, I have a sweatshirt that says "Mary Jane" down the sleeve because that is the name of one of the ski resorts in Winter Park, CO (where my family currently resides) and was also the location of my wedding. However, whenever I wear this sweatshirt to work, someone (usually the same person) makes some dorky remark about wanting to "hang out with Mary Jane." Other comments (all by the same person on different occasions) include: "You should give Mary Jane her sweatshirt back," or similarly, "Your name isn't Mary Jane. Why do you have someone else's name on your sleeve?" Seriously, where do these people come up with these things?
T-shirts can be the catalyst to conversation; that is fine with me. It's specific references to the shirt itself that I find irritating and weird. Like if someone saw me wearing the sweatshirt and said "I love skiing/boarding in Winter Park," I would be okay with that. If however, they said "who's Mary Jane and why are you wearing her sweatshirt?" I would secretly loathe them for the rest of my life for saying such stupid things.
So if I'm ever wearing a t-shirt or other article of clothing and you feel inclined to make some comment about it, think twice. I may secretly hate you forever because of it.
