If I see someone else wearing a woot shirt, what's the correct social etiquette?

Jul 29, 2011 5:36 PM

is it acceptable to yell, "my woot shirt bretheren!!" and then hug them? or should i just make eye contact and nod?

I generally say something to the effect of: "Way to go, Woot shirt!"

i was wearing the Imposter shirt (http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=7811) and a cashier at safeway asked me about. he said it was the third time he'd seen the shirt that day. i thought, "3 Imposter shirts? in kent, wa? on the same day?" so now i'm constantly on the look out.

I'm not sure if I want to be recognized heehee, but I was once at a pet shop getting some food. The cashier and I had a quick chat, and he was jealous that I snagged a BOC the day before. I'm almost always out in a woot shirt. I love love LOVE my Too much Catnip shirt way too much, I got 2 so I can wear it twice in a row if I want!

No one around here other than my friends wear woot shirts. I think if I found someone with a Woot shirt I'd probably burst into tears and bear hug them until they taser me.

@holymythos: you could raise brand awareness by gathering your friends and holding signs at the mall that say "I shirt.woot. Do you?"

Heading to GenCon Indy in a week - and just like last year I will high-five every fellow Woot shirt bearer in the most absurd fashion possible.

@carl669: in the spirit of money saving i say you submit your 'debt ceiling' shirt ideas to this thread done in ASCII art only. The best ones will be printed out by me and framed on my desk.

I have yet to see one in the wild...elusive beasts they are. I do have a couple and am building up my collection, I'm sure it's just a matter of time though.

WOOT!

I see it from time to time.. of course when I see it I am always wearing one of my woot shirts..

So it's a casual nod followed by a 180degree slick spin and the 21 gun hand salute..

and then my wife looks at me like I'm nuts...

Wearing a woot.shirt and worrying about etiquette? I'm not sure the two go together. Just in case, here is the official video on proper protocol:

Oh man, I missed wooting all day, was stuffing my face at the Gilroy Garlic Fest all day.

For most shirt.woot shirts, it's appropriate to just point and yell "woot shirt!" followed by a smile and/or a thumbs up.

However, for the deals.woot crab shirt...my friends, the battle of wits has begun and there can be only one.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
