Today, I got approached by a hot young lady in a bar. After joking around for a few minutes she said, "Hey, I love your jacket, where'd you get that?" I then told her that it's actually a replica of the Indiana Jones jacket. This is when she remembered that she "had to go somewhere." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while working at a certain California theme park in full costume, I was approached by a kid in line, who looked at me and exclaimed, "Hey look, its Indiana Jones!" which felt pretty amazing. His sister, who was maybe seven years old, glanced over at me and said, "No, he's way too fat." FML
Today, the girl I've had a crush on forever asked me why the pin on my Letterman jacket had two guys doing it. I told her it was for participating in a wrestling tournament. And she responded, "Oh I thought you were finally coming out of the closet!" FML
Today, I found out that my blazer was not in fact lost. How did I find this out? The girl who'd "lost it" was wearing it. She now denies it was ever mine. FML
Today, I mistook a stranger in a supermarket aisle for an old friend and gave them a big bear hug from behind. Turns out, my "friend" was just now a very confused man in a very similar, but oddly specific jacket that I thought my actual friend had claimed he made himself. Guess not. FML
Today, I was at the mall shoplifting when a girl who looked my age pointed to a shirt I had in my bag. "Stole that, huh?" she asked smiling. She looked pretty cool, so I nodded and asked if she stole the jeans she was wearing, which were from the same store. Turns out she didn't, she's the manager. FML
Today, I went into a crowded store and tried out a blazer. I was thinking to myself how hot I looked in it when the manager tapped me on the shoulder and politely said, "Excuse me sir, that's a ladies' blazer." FML
Today, after I searched for three months and found the coolest jacket and was stoked, my fiancé and our guy friend both ordered the same jacket so we can all match. FML
Today, I wore an expensive vintage blazer which I'd purchased at a market in Paris. Turns out my colleague has the exact same one, only hers is from a clearance rack at Target. FML
Today, I bought a coral colored hooded sweatshirt, which my girlfriend told me was "hot". I wore it to a baseball game tonight. When it got cold I put the hood over my head, only to hear everyone behind me laugh. The back of the hood said "Boy crazy". It was a teen girls sweatshirt. FML
Today, I wore a jacket I bought yesterday at a thrift store to work. During lunch, I found a folded note in the inside pocket that said, "Call Mom. Tell her I'm okay." I spent the rest of the day wondering who had owned the jacket and whether I should actually call the number on the note. FML

That's awesome! I was going to say what a lot of folks said, if she's not a girl who can appreciate that (or at least not just walk off after you said it, how rude), she's not worth your time. Then again, I'm a geek girl and I think a guy with an Indy jacket would be awesome. Hat too!

Here's how I would have done the conversation. "Ahh, it's embarrasing..." Her: she insists on knowing "Oh, you're so gonna make fun of me for it!" Her: insists some more "Okay, it's an Indiana Jones jacket" But I would never wear any kind of a replica jacket. Haven't seen the movies either.

This is something where I have to say, FYL, and FHL for not realizing the awesomeness of Indy.

Dude, there's nothing wrong with what you said; She's just a bitch. FYL indeed.

I would soak my panties if I saw a man ANYWHERE wearing Indy's jacket. What a dumb ho.

Um, as a woman, I would say that though having a replica jacket is kinda geeky, it at least was from an awesome movie, so I would give the guy cool movie taste points and not pass him up just for that. Hey OP: She wasn't worth it if she didn't like the Indy jacket.

I have a replica Raiders jacket as well but I never normally tell anyone I meet where I got it. If they do ask I usually tell then I had it made by a company in the UK, which is the truth. I'll tell them if they push or once I know them better. Every once in a while I run in to someone that recognizes the jacket. Those are the cool people to hang out with.

Hell, I'd sleep with you so I could steal it when you fell asleep :P
