Random Thoughts the Third

A few observations here:

1. Fewer people are traveling on business than there used to be, which makes the clothing more casual right of the bat.

2. Between the security lines and the seemingly more crowded terminal waiting areas, it can get pretty warm in airports.

3. That being said, you can still manage decent shorts, shirt and shoes if you can afford an airline ticket. It’s not Planet Fitness.

 

Blue jeans, not shorts.

And a nice pair of cowboy boots — they’re easier to take off than lace-ups.

 

My calves are the stuff of legend. I’d be remiss if I didn’t wear shorts to share them with the world.

Also, tuck this.

And, you can pry my flip-flops from my cold, dead feet.

 

Cold, dead feet? I’m going to insist that you put on shoes, sir.

 

I’ve probably tucked in my shirt once in ten years and that was for a wedding. (Where I was overdressed.)

 

Yeah, flip-flops on a flight is total trash.
Have just a little class, and respect thy hygiene, too.

 

But enough about the crew's experience with me on my Heathrow-to-Dallas flight in May.

 

It’s been a while (1996) but I remember the British Airways flight attendants being quite generous with the cans of beer on my London to Chicago flight.

And the mid-flight line for the rear bathrooms being quite long as a result!

 

I was at a funeral Mass and I was horrified I didn't wear a jacket.

Men were in shorts and not wearing a tie. The crying baby was less annoying.

 

I can’t imagine giving a fuck what someone else is wearing when it doesn’t affect me in any way.

Different strokes, I suppose.

 

Really? Someone wears a "Who farted?" or Confederate flag t-shirt doesn't matter?

How people dress does matter to others. It is a first impression. It may be wrong, but in dealing with people over a short time it can change things.

 

Does Bert get a pass?
