meh shirt sighting
12In all my years wearing meh around town, I have yet to see a fellow mediocre person in the wild. My daughter, though, has a different story. If you’re the parent of said fellow student of small midwestern institution of higher learning, well done…But get that shirt back!

Grand theft Meh-wear. That’s 10 to 20 in federal penitentiary for stealing her dad’s meh shirt.
@OnionSoup Federal Mehnitentiary
Thus far, I have spotted two other Mehtizens at HEB, identifiable by their IRK bags.
@werehatrack I wish I could shop at the Butts.
@yakkoTDI I may not like every single thing about them, but in March of 2020 they demonstrated that they actually gave a rat’s ass about being able to keep their supply lines open to their communities in a crisis. That kind of top-down competence is incredibly rare.
@werehatrack That’s good to know. My main reason for wanting to shop there is the name.
I’m aware of at least 5 active mehtizens specifically here in town (including a popular PHRoG) and likely 20-50 more in the greater Portland metro, but no one has noticed my shirts so far or mentioned my bumper sticker. I mean, I get compliments on the shirts all the time, but no one has connected them to where they come from. Similarly, I’ve yet to see any others in the wild.
@ExtraMedium yes — people respond to the meh sentiment but don’t know the meh site!
@ExtraMedium
neighbor!
I had a co-worker notice my fuku shirt from way back. That’s it for me tho. Ofc, I’m practically a hermit now…so, I suppose that’s not saying much.
@ExtraMedium what’s a PHRoG?
@earlyre A fellow mehmber here.

@ExtraMedium @PHRoG oookay…
I was trying to work it out as if it were an acronym…
@earlyre @ExtraMedium @PHRoG
/giphy frog perhaps?

2nd cousin from my brother’s side… careful, she’s kinda mean!
@ExtraMedium same! I use my irk bags at the store all the time and wear my Meh shirts out and about but no one knows of them. Then when we were in England at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, I saw a bloke with a meh shirt on!!! He was visiting from the states and couldn’t believe I knew what it was.
@ExtraMedium @sillyheathen Decades ago, I printed a batch of bumper stickers for the old grad students’ pub at Rice U. As of last I heard, there had been sightings on every continent except Antarctica.
Just going to guess but based on meh shirt sizing probably fits her and not her dad.
Also if good dad she would know what meh is right?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@unksol true… def can’t get better than 2nd coolest dad then
@lehigh I mean no one stopping you from trying to make her do a “my dad wants to to go fishing with your dad” awkward moment lol
My kiddos swipe my meh shirts too
@mbersiam My kids swipe my meh shirts, too. It’s usually my stealth black-on-black one that they take.
Each of my kiddos has an extensive Meh shirt/assorted merch collection!
My closet has so many Meh shirts that I had to have the foundation under that portion of the house reinforced.
No dice on my end with finding anyone who isn’t weirded out by my meh shirts. Tend to comment to their companion and say something along the lines about is that how they feel?
@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC I mean. Isn’t that how you feel though?
I had a couple of interesting experiences wearing a Fukobukuro shirt in the College Park MD Ikea years ago.
An Asian man and his wife did a furtive double (or triple) take at my shirt, then steered a really wide berth around me.
Then just as was about to leave the store, a young lady (I’m guessing a college student) looked at my shirt, started giggling and ran over to tell her friends. Dunno if it was because she understood the lettering or was familiar with the meh site.
When I wear meh shirts I get “meh” chuckle “I like that”. I love my meh shirts.
