Random people assaulting me in coffee shops while I was minding my business over what I was wearing or a book I was reading. I basically stopped reading in coffee shops because of this, and it only started happening in like '22.
One time this guy went off on me and started lecturing me about how gay my boots were and how he'd be a rich pretty boy too if his mom hadn't stolen his inheritance and been such a whore. Guy was unhinged. He came in, zeroed in on me, stood about 5 feet away and started going off on me, then just turn around and left when I didn't acknowledge him. Nobody else said around me said or did anything, I think we were all just in shock.
The boots in question are olive suede, and I really do like them.
They sound like nice boots. Try not to let weirdos ruin things for you. Easier said than done I know.
I have had several other incidents, none as weird as that though.
