I did something rather spectacular today. I wore my long black trenchcoat to school today. It was a rather interesting day. People avoided me at every turn. They gave me looks of fear. Even the teachers were rather wary of me. Liz didn't seem to notice though. But I liked the fear I commanded from everyone. They must've thought I was hiding a shotgun underneath it or something. Of course I wasn't hiding a shotgun underneath it. I was hiding an M4. ;) Discuss what you think of my little "endevour".

were you doing it so people might think you were hiding a gun under it? cuz that's pretty sick. or were you genuinely considering a trenchcoat as a fashion statement?

It certainly wasn’t fear that drove them away from you…

Seriously, stop trying to act weird and people won’t hate you!

I wore it because it was comfortable. The fear it commanded was secondary. The trenchcoat is pretty fucking comfortable though.

But... But... I like being wierd! Why do you think I like Allison from the Breakfast Club so much?

People act afraid, because a trenchcoat indoors usually says "Hey! Look at me! I've got a gun! Who wants to call the cops?!"

Or, the less severe "I'm a freak with no sense of fashion!"

Honestly, that was stupid, and I'm surprised a teacher didn't ask you to take it off. Don't push it with people.

*shrug* Trenchcoats are awesome. In fact, they're awesome for me to now call them "awesomecoats". Yep, slang term number 4 on my list. And quit making threads!

Also, I say down with conformity! I will be who I want to be, not what other people say I should be!

in california? in may? isn't it a bit hot for a trenchcoat? my flatmate's out there at the moment and she got well sunburnt the other day.

That's pretty sick as well.

There is no reason to go out of your way just to be weird. If you do, you're being just as fake as any prep.

Seeing as how I've never seen that movie, I don't know.

The latter. Dude, if you wore it, you'd know how comfortable it is. It's orgasmically comfortable. Just remeber, everyone called Bill Gates a freak in school, look where he is now. Most or all of the preppy girls who went to school with him are probably crack whores now.

Not really. I don't know why people always say it's so hot. I actually find it rather cold.

I've worn them...they're not comfortable this time of year. Bill Gates was also a computer nerd...he didn't wear trench coats to school.

I don't go out of my way. But I've been wierd so long, I just kind of do it. And I like being wierd. Because it expresses me. The trenchcoat is only because it's rather comfortable.

You've never seen the Breakfast Club?!?!?! Dear god, someone call John Hughes, NOW!

To you they may not be comfortable. To me, they most definetly are.

oh, well i live in edinburgh (scotland). anywhere where the sun shines is hot to me. just been home to jersey (isle of) for a couple of days and it went over 20 celcius a couple of times - that was fucking boiling.

Oh, and there's nothing in the dress code against something being too long, so the teachers can't ask me to take it off.

20 celcius is boiling? You, my friend, obviously have very low heat resistance.

It certainly wasn’t fear that drove them away from you…


Undelia is right, i beleive it was the fact that it has been a week since you remembered to shower.

i know because i am in your head right now;)

He probably has more tolerance of cold, though.

well after living below 10 celcius for over 6 months 20 is a bit of a shock. i can however tolerate farely extreme heat. i was in cyprus last summer on an archaeological dig and the temp was 36 in the shade. digging trenches in that heat was pretty exhausting coming straight from edinburgh!

Actually I took one this morning. I take one every day before I go to school.

Anybody stupid enough to associate trenchcoats with guns deserves to be shot. By a tec 9.

Too far?

My step-dads maybe?

Kids at my school wear trenchcoats quite a bit during winter. Theyre actually somewhat practical here because the wind chill is sheer murder, and theres lots of dust blowing around. Hence, 'Dusters'. Hell, Arizona practically INVENTED stlyish trenchcoats.
'Course we kept guns in them to. For to kill cattle rustlers, bank robbers and theivin' Mexicans, of course. Oh, and Irish people as well. And Irish-Mexicans. Oh, and Canadians. And Injuns. And Vietnamese. And...well...basically everybody except protestant white males of Anglo-Saxon descent.
Yeehaw for stereotypin' y'all!

I feel dirty now.
*puts on a trenchcoat*

Mabey they though you were a flasher. :p Honestly I think they look cool.

so that's what that tickling sensation was. well i'm getting my ears syringed on friday so you won't be their long :p

Wait, they vomitted inside their head?

Don't really see an appeal in trenchcoats. I guess it got worn out by the trenchcoat fad during my freshman year. Also, I live in Texas, you don't EVER need to buy a jacket. 12 months of pure summer my friends!

I don't see the problem, I wore mine all the time when I was back home in cool weather.

Though I admit that it was fun confusing the hell out of people who saw someone at 6'2" all in black, blach trenchcoat, black sunglasses, and giving people a nice friendly smile and a wave. People who didn't know me had this look on their face of "Ok, if I smile back and he WON'T attack me or he WILL attack me?"

*sighs* Ah the fun of those days before I got a personal fashion assitant who forbid the wearing of all black.

A trenchcoat can be amazingly practical with all the pocket room, and quite comfortable. I approve of wearing them everywhere, much like I approve wearing cargo pants everywhere.

Gates was a freak because of his nerdyness and his brains. Wearing a trenchcoat does not put you into either catagory

I am not condemning you for wearing it even though I would not do it myself (at least not indoors)

But trying the comparison is flawed

Most or all of the preppy girls who went to school with him are probably crack whores now.
Ahh, no. More than likely they’re either divorced single mothers or one part of a two working parents family.
And why singe out women? Got issues with the opposite gender or something?

Well, he was confused for being a chick when he mentioned that he gets called “bitch” at school.

You wore a trenchcoat today?! It must have been a lot cooler in Fairfield than it was in Sacramento today, because it was damn near 100 degrees where I live.

So of course you wear the trenchcoat to be just like OTHER people who wore trenchcoats to school...

Yeah.

You're the one who said you liked the feeling of fear and people wondering if you had a gun... we weren't supposed to connect the dots and remember the trenchcoat mafia, then?

No one else does.
Yeah right I see people around here all the time do it

Fuck I had some friends that did years ago when this was actualy new

Eh-oh Kat...I think he's gonna kill himself cuz of you. :eek:

:p

Thing is, it doesn't exist anymore. At least not at my school.

That'd be hard, as that was the name given to the group briefly (and apparently erroneously) associated with the Columbine Losers Klebold and Harris.

Tec-9's are peices of junk.... and yes I know what you are referencing.

Nall, wear whatever you like, because you like, whenever you like.

Just have yourself checked by a doctor if fairfield is anything like bakersfield for heat atm. You couldnt pay me enough to wear a coat of any kind.

Bwahaha! "No." Hahahaha! :D *Roffles teh Waffles"

Ahhh...Now, back to business, assuming that wasn't the thing that pushed ol' Rit over the edge.

Everyone should adopt the usage of the word "Awesomecoat" in place of "Trenchcoat".

Homeless bums have that "command of fear" too.

Pretty pathetic.

Which is one of the many reasons I say, "Sacramento sucks." (grew up around there)

I agree, especially about the cargo pants, very useful.

Yeah, so it's in the mid-80s (F) in Fairfield these days. I don't think people where so much afraid of you as wondering why you where wearing such a big coat after the warmer weather finally started.

I wore a long coat for years, not to be moody or frightening but because I liked Film Noir, really. I still wore black ones (I had a swede one, a thin canvas one, a nice twill (I think) one I still have) because I didn't like the color of the other ones (Inspector Gadget sorta ruined it). I would get comments now and then but I don't think people where really afraid of me.

To be honest, I don't think your coat was making people all that scared. First of all, these people all already know you. If they've already been teasing you, they know they can 'take' you. It doesn't take too long of watching someone in a long coat to rule out the 'hiding guns' thing. If you are a little bit of a spazz, then it might be reasonable to think you'd go Columbine on them, but that's about it. And really, that's a fear that you are even more of twirp than they already think you are.

Like I said, I wore one for quite a while (until I got a motorcycle-I've never been one to have more than one jacket since I live in California) and it's kinda nice, like wearing a blanket. I dug it. I got a little tired of being called Silent Bob, but meh. I think that the 'fear' thing was in your head. I'm a big dude and have scared people in the past (until they spend 15 seconds talking to me and realise I'm nothing to be afraid of) but I think that if the coat had any effect on that it was minimal at best.

You're trying too hard. That might be the source of people thinking you're a bit off. (I'm just going by what people have posted about you whatnot, I haven't been following your arc here...)

Also, I say down with conformity! I will be who I want to be, not what other people say I should be!
Hell yeah!!! I LOVE my trenchcoat! (these are slightly unrelated)

It certainly wasn’t fear that drove them away from you…
Oh, I'm sure they were afraid of him, as would I if I saw a potential flasher marching about in my school.

Which is one of the many reasons I say, "Sacramento sucks." (grew up around there)
Meh. It's not so bad. Of course, I actually enjoy the heat here - my friends refer to me as "a tropical people". :p

20 celcius is boiling? You, my friend, obviously have very low heat resistance.
That mean sI have very low heat resistance (I do) I think 17 degrees is hot.

I like cold though:)

Lol. Not quite a desert, but anyway. My friends just call me that because I love warm weather. The hotter the better.
