Two men stood in front of the autonomous vehicle, operated by ride-hailing company Waymo, and literally tipped a fedora at her while she told them to move out of the way.
Okay, this really seems more like a case of sexual harassment, rather than harassment of Waymo customers, which was my first suspicion. Had it been the latter as part of a politically motivated action against the company I might have had a lot more sympathy, but this is disgusting…
Also: Prejudice against people wearing fedoras is still prejudice and thus not really a great thing to have. One of my best friends also likes to wear a hat at times (not sure if it counts as a fedora, I know very little about heads) and is one of the sweetest people I know.
You’re right. These days, I dress too sloppily for one, but back when I didn’t, I was self-conscious about it. I probably wouldn’t be now, but that’s also the reason I don’t really care that I wear T-shirts all the time.

Yeah, I’m sure the asshole thought he was being funny ….
I’d put it somewhere north of harassment since they physically restricted her, but less than the direct threat that some people think
You saw the fedora and thought it was anything but sexual harassment? LMAO
I saw “driverless waymo” in the title.

It was a joke. Sorry.
I hate the reputation fedoras have because I happen to look damn good in a fedora.
Wear one then. Fuck all the haters.

I still hate it that it has that reputation.
