Good idea. Thank you. That will silence idiotic youths, as it will take them too long to think of a good responce; I am not exaggerating, as someone who thinks that only Inspector Gadget wears a fedora and trench coat is usually quite dumb.

I frequently get called "Inspector Gadget" by idiots on the street when I wear my beige trench coat and grey fedora (and previoulsy black and tan fedoras too). Other than wearing a black great coat (which people don't comment on) I cannot think of anything to do against the fools.

Is "Inspector Gadget" the only trenchcoat-fedora wearing character they know of? Has nobody in modern Britain heard of Humphrey Bogart? Just because 90% of youths in Britain can think of nothing to wear other than a hoody, doesn't mean than I am going to conform.

So can anybody think of a good comeback to hoody wearing youths when they say Inspector Gadget? I have checked the amazing list but have not found any which quite fit the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated, so that I can battle the poorly dressed morons with words.

Snoop Dog is that you? or
Go, go Gadget idiot eliminator. :D

Just carry a taser and respond with "Go Go Gadget Stun Gun". Then let them have it.

How about, "How's it going, Rocky?" (as in a boxer wearing a hooded sweat shirt)

I don't know if the degenerates will understand this, so I don't know if this comeback will be so effective, but thanks for the idea. I might use it on slightly more intelligent idiots.

Good point (sadly).

But at least they will walk away thinking, "I wonder what that means?" [huh]

If my hat makes me Inspector Gadget, your hoody makes you a serial killer.

I'd rather be mistaken for Inspector Gadget than a serial killer.

They're called clothes for grown-ups. Someday you may ... nah!

Ah, and you with a hoody and sagging pants. How imaginative! And look at that! You've accessorized your ensemble with a ball cap. How EVER do you come up with your fashion ideas?

And you're dressed to burgle a house, snatch a purse, or knock over a convenience store.

I'm wearing a coat and a hat, and you're at a loss for a cultural reference?

What are the cultural references for a hoody and a ball cap? The Unabomber? Son of Sam? Jeffrey Dahmer?

"Do your baggy pants make it easier for the bigger felons to make you their girlfriend?"

Although that seems extreme and downright uncouth. I left some urchins fuming at this this afternoon while waiting for a train back home.

Not really a dumb comment, but a true story along those lines ...

First, some background information: I'm 6' - 6" tall and weigh about 360 lbs. I keep my hair cut in a "high and tight" cut, and always wear a suit and tie at work.

Now the story: I'm the Safety Director for a large psych hospital. Several years ago we were being surveyed by a regulatory agency. They weren't finding anything, so (as surveyors tend to do) they started to look deeper and deeper for something. There were several of us seated at a table in the conference room, when one of the surveyors in a real smug way said to me, "is that tie you are wearing a breakaway tie?" (meaning, if a patient grabbed my tie, would it "breakaway" so as to presumably not hurt me).

I looked at him and said, "no, it isn't."

To which he smugly said, "well, what if someone grabbed you and choked you."

I stood up, leaned across the table, looked him right in the eye and said, "go ahead and try to choke me."

The surveyor turned white as a ghost and our Hospital Director about fell out of his chair. It was a quite couple of seconds, but that surveyor didn't bother me any more. :D

Sometimes you just have to show them who's boss ...

Bravo. My mom's a nurse and has had run-ins with a few regulatory folks with poor manners. Good job on showing them who is in charge.

Two in one day. Well, maybe not "dumbest". Actually two I, personally, had not heard before...the pic below was taken right after the visit to my watering hole after I heard these:

1> Hey, it's "Spy Vs. Spy" (stumped me)

2> Which one of the Mitchell Brothers are you? (my reply; "ask your daughter")

All in good fun from beer buds I've known. But I've worn this same model hat before.
This was the first day I wore the "new" one...maybe it's just not broke in yet (?)

Spy vs. Spy is a MAD magazine page that's been around since what, the 60's or something.

Look it up, but I can assure you you look absolutely nothing like those characters.

Yep. I loved "Mad" and knew what he meant immediately. I used to get every issue. Just stumped me as I had no speedy quip for a reply. Losing my touch.

As for not looking like them...thanks (I think?). Nor do I think I look like a Mitchell ;)

Don't know if this one has been posted yet, but I was wearing my Akubra Campdraft and a columbia ski jacket and a guy I walked by said in a thick ghetto accent, "Damn, you look just like Al Capone" I can't even remember my response...

What the heck...

The dreaded Inspector Gadget remark

I was walking throught the soccer fields to my son's game last night, in my trenchcoat and a very large brim Penny's Marathon, when this idiot teenager stops in the MIDDLE OF HIS SOCCER GAME to shout, "Hey, it's Inspector Gadget!"

I just kept walking.

Since he didn't get a response from me and since his teammates were too busy with their game to respond, he tried it again. Finally after the third time, he just gave up.

Funny thing is, I decided not to wear a stingy yesterday and instead went for the 2-3/4 brim to avoid just such a remark. [huh]

Wearing my tweed paperboy into a construction office...

"Hey, are you going golfing?" I had no idea what he was talking about and didn't figure it out until later. So I had no snappy comeback.
