Angering Ugg lovers the world over!

I can’t help that this post is chock full of smug-ness. I very rarely wear shirts that say anything, let alone, something “controversial”. And in this case I am using the word controversial very loosely. A few weeks ago I bought a shirt that says NOT COOL with a picture of an Ugg boot next to it. It should be in my blog archive somewhere around mid-June if you want to see it. I hate those boots, I hate how they are worn with dumb little flippy skirts on girls or shorty short shorts on guys. Blech! It creeps me out, so much that I think there must be something hidden in my subconscious. Hmmm, maybe Tom Cruise & his scientologist friends could “Clear” me of that but I prefer to just hate Uggs & leave it at that. Where was I? Oh yeah, I am wearing my Ugg hater shirt yesterday but I hadn’t thought about it since I put it on. I am in a fabric store at the cutting table when the lady behind the counter begins her rant. She tells me how she loves her Uggs & wears them all the time…blah blah blah. Then she asks me what I have against them (she looks really angry…so I’m trying not to laugh) I told her that I think they are silly especially when paired with a flippy mini skirt. I was a little shocked that the customer service at this store includes getting called out about my shirt but at the same time it was really funny. She has now stopped cutting my fabric but has begun giving me the history of Uggs. How they were invented in Australia for surfers and have the amazing power to keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer, blah blah blah… She finally finishes and gets back to cutting my fabric. I tell her, that’s great but I still think they are lame. At this point I was a little afraid to continue the conversation because she was obviously really protective of her silly boots. So I just stood there. She then says very curtly “So what are you making with this fabric?” The lady standing next to her who has been totally silent through all of this snickers and says “Uggs”. I couldn’t keep my mouth shut any longer and burst out laughing. This happened right before lunchtime, I’m only guessing but I bet she spent her lunch break coming up with snarky remarks & new ways to tell me off should that event ever happen again. Hee hee, me and my Ugg hater shirt may need to go back.
