"Not My Type" t-shirt

I love this t-shirt that says "You're Not My Type" in 13 languages

But let's face it, the places I'd wear that shirt -- on a museum trip, at a science fiction -- "my type" of folks would quickly appear, bent over and staring at my chest to read all the lines.  So it would more or less need a skirt with "If you have read this far, the above does not apply," also in 13 languages.

Cute idea for a shirt but I'd never wear anything like that. Whenever I've worn any type of shirt that had any type of quote or saying I had too many people want to stop me so they can mouth-out the words or too many idiots taking the shirt too seriously thinking it is part of my core belief systems.

The only time I'll wear a shirt with words on it is if it is some kind of corporate logo or a vacation shirt (e.g. Las Vegas).
"The time you spent reading this shirt could have been used to say hello."
