Pharaoh (@TheCamboy) “Judge: Ma’am, you need to leave this courtroom and return properly dressed. Woma” — TopicDigg

Judge: Ma’am, you need to leave this courtroom and return properly dressed. Woman: Properly dressed for what exactly? Walking up to a podium for two minutes? Judge: Properly dressed to appear before a court of law. This is not a gym, and it is not your living room. Woman: I’m here to handle my case, Your Honor, not walk a runway. I didn’t think yoga clothes were going to become the issue. Judge: The issue is respect. Respect for this court, for these proceedings, and for the people in this room. Woman: I do respect the court. I just don’t respect pretending workout clothes are somehow offensive. Judge: I’m not going to stand here and argue with you about basic courtroom decorum. Woman: I’m not arguing either, sir, but this is ridiculous. I’m fully covered, I’m on time, and I’m here for my hearing. Judge: And yet instead of listening, you’re challenging the court at every turn. Woman: Because nobody told me there was some invisible fashion rule attached to showing up. Judge: Common sense is not an invisible rule, ma’am. Woman: So now this is about common sense? Judge: One more word and I will hold you in contempt. Woman: … Judge: That’s what I thought. You may step out, change into something appropriate, and come back when you’re prepared to conduct yourself properly. Woman: So I’m being sent home over clothes? Judge: No, ma’am. You’re being sent out over your attitude and your clothes. Woman: …Understood. Judge: Good. Bailiff, escort her out. We’ll recall the case when she’s ready to respect the courtroom.
