    I was just walking to work one day, when I got heckled in the street by some random guy singing at me:

    “Earthworm Jim, you’re so much fun to play. Earthworm Jim, you’re tall, you’re thin, you’re gay!”

    I’ve never been more seen.

    Stand in awe at a replica of Michaelangelo’s David.

    Admittedly staring at a statue of a naked guy, but come on

    I once got called the f-slur for having the audacity to read a book in public, outdoors in front of the library.

      It wasn’t your skates that did it; it was your crop top and hotpants. j/k

      There was a show, Human Giant I think it was called, which was like skit comedy. Aziz Ansari (spelling?) was in it. In the skit, he was talking about rollerblading and I lost it when, with a straight face, he said, “the hardest thing about rollerblading is telling your parents’ you’re gay.”

      I haven’t thought about this in like 20 years but when I was in middle school late 90s some kid had an album where one of the songs was titled “You Rollerblading (f-slur)” and I remember thinking it was the worst music I had heard in my life. 90% sure it was grindcore music, I didn’t know what grindcore was at the time but my memory of the sound kind of fits that mold and the album had like fifty tracks and every single one of them was like 10-15 seconds long.

          Looking at this now, you are correct, and while I wasn’t proud of myself for having thought the song titles were funny, I feel a bit more embarrassed now than I did two minutes ago before looking it up. Edgy teenagers were clearly this band’s target audience.

            I found out about them during the Napster/Kazaa era looking for 311 songs and their song “311 sucks” came up. I thought it was funny, then again, I was an edgy teenager at that time.

    Once I was at a hotel bar with colleagues and we were hanging out in some lounge area. The waitress asked if we wanted drinks, so I ordered a margarita.

    Then they made fun of me for it. Like, what the hell does it matter what drink I have.

      When I was younger I’ve definitely made fun of friends who order “girly” drinks, and have in turn been made fun of when I do it. It’s pretty standard among males in my generation (X) and older. Usually happens when everyone else in your group is ordering “manly” drinks like beer or hard liquor.

      It doesn’t even have to be something like a cosmopolitan, it could be a gin & tonic, or rum and coke. If they’re all drinking bourbon on the rocks and you order something even slightly less strong, you’re going to hear about it.

      Then there’s the times where the first guy orders a beer, then the next guy has to trump him with a run and coke, then the next guy gets a whiskey on the rocks, so then it gets one upped with a whiskey neat. Next thing you know we’re smoking crack in the alley. Just kidding about that last one, but you get the idea. We thought we were being macho, but we were idiots in our early 20s, so shrug

        Margaritas and Champaign are the two drinks I can’t stop drinking once I start.

        They are just too good, I love the carbonation of Champaign. I’d drink cheap Champaign all day.

    Use ranch dressing. I was informed that was for gays and city folk only. I really had no response to that nugget of wisdom.

      Blue cheese dressing is definitely gay. Manly men like sweet salad dressing. I know because Anton LaVey said so, and we all know he was a manly man.

      Even more, women think it’s gay to have genuine comraderie/man group bonding, not necessarily physical, if you have genuine trust in your buddies they’ll call you gay, and if you somehow show moral support to one another then women better not knowing this
