2) second I find most people resort to insults because they see the flaw in their own logic or foolish behavior. She may well have thought you were a good planner by bringing the coat along just in case it was needed but then moved to insults because she was lazy.
Absolute twaddle, a lot of people associate macs with perverts and after years of reading some of the contributions on this forum I still cant understand why

Reading this made me feel so sad and angry.
Although most people actually don't care what kind of rainwear you are wearing (especially if it's wet), there is always that small, ignorant, idiot minority who really spoil it for me.
Their attitude towards anyone who dares to dress differently (i.e in shiny rainwear) really affect my confidence regarding wearing shiny rainwear anywhere. I would like to wear it ALL the time, not just on wet days, but...........................
I've never had any really nasty incidents other than one schoolgirl who looked at me like I was an alien when she spotted me in my new (shiny yellow) FarmerRain mac & matching rainboots. I've also had the occasional spaz who laughed openly upon seeing my green Rukka raincoat another occasion.
Australia does not have any kind of rainwear-wearing culture (other than Goretex) and anyone wearing shiny plastic or PVC tends to stand out.
On the other hand, I have worn my shiny blue PUL rain overalls and yellow rainboots to the supermarket and other shops without any incident - albeit I only wear it if it's very wet & cold. I'm actually quite suprised how few people paid me & my rainwear any attention whatsoever. Funnily enough, a few people were really interested in my one-piece rain overalls and they clearly liked them. I also wear my vintage plastic jelly jacket a lot, even if its not wet and I've never had any problems.
However, I haven't managed to find the confidence to wear my blue rain overalls (much less my rather bright yellow FarmerRain mac) around my local mall or even on a cool, overcast day.
And that's because of cunts like this truck driver.
Now that's a word I haven't heard since I was in the yard at school, which was a very long time ago
Hopefully it means something different in your part of the world but where I'm from its extremely offensive
I remember when I was a youngster , I heard that if a person mainly a man had a Mac on and then opened it to flash them self to another person they were known as perverts, but we here are people that likes to wear our Macs and also admire others who wear their Macs , so lets enjoy.

Not exactly "verbal abuse" but an indicator of the rather sad modern attitude to sensible rainwear. About 10 years ago I was out with a male friend my age and my sister at an open air theatre in Regents Park London. Half way through the performance it started to spatter with rain, not enough at first to stop the performance but enough to get wet if you weren't properly protected. Anticipating rain I had put on my long shiny navy blue hooded PVC Jeantex raincoat (unfortunately even then being phased out so bought at a bargain price) that came down nearly to my ankles, so protected me completely even when sitting down. Looking around I noticed no-one else seemed properly equipped for the rain. Standing at the bar in the interval my sister said "you look like a pervert in that mack" to which I replied "well at least then I'm a dry pervert, unlike any these others in their flimsy "showerproofs." My friend, who knew I had a liking for this type of raingear, made no comment
