    There have been many times to get the look but I have to admit that the last several years it has not seemed to be so much that way. Not really sure why but it seems to be more accepted. I never really cared. I it is sort of like wearing camo. I happen to really like the looks of camo clothing so wear it often. There are those who try to get you to not wear camo to town, especially a city. They say it sheds a bad light on hunters. What? Never could understand that one. I continue to wear camo and don't care.

    In fact, in June I had the big surgery and yes, I wore my bathrobe whenever I got out of bed. Not only that, my house slippers happen to be a pair of camo hunting boots! Yes, that is what I wear. They are only for the house. Very lightweight and comfortable. So picture me walking around in the hospital with camo robe and camo boots. Yes, it got some looks! lol

    After working inside/outside all day long removing an oil furnace; installing gas piping; installing new furnace and all the related, I stopped by wally world (to buy a Christmas gift) since it was on the way home. After paying and heading straight for the door, an employee stopped me and asked for the receipt. I said I just checked out, why are you stopping me?
    Oh, we will do this from time to time just to help out our customers.
    I said it has nothing to do with the way I am dressed in all my dirty shabby clothes?
    Oh no, we do this to help out our customers...
    Well, if you want to help me out as you say, you can carry this stuff to my car and load it up for me since I've had such a lousy day at work.....

    Love it.
    I did a short stint in sales at the local Ford dealer back in '95. Some of the long time salesmen told of one day a bum lookin old man come stumblin down the road and wandered onto the lot carrying a brown bag. The "A team" as you say all split post haste leaving one of the newbies standing there by himself dreading wasting time with this ole drunk. The dealer/owner was on site everyday and expected the sales guys to talk to EVERYONE that came on the lot if at all possible! Turns out this grubby ole farmer wanted a new truck and his brown bag was full of greenbacks...:handshake:
    Newb got the last laugh on that one :thumbs:
    Moral...don't judge

    I find it amusing when I run into somebody from work at the auto parts store or hardware store in my chit kickers....nasty jeans...ported (sleeves cut off) shirt...covered in dirt. At work I'm the just about the opposite of that....throws them for a loop.

    The cast of characters at a local convenience store of a fishing village at about 4am will turn your head and make your first few sips of coffee taste funny

    My friend has told his kids to always be where they say they will be. He was unavailable the Saturday afternoon his daughter was going to meet some friends at the movies. It just so happens that I had a craving for popcorn. I stopped cutting wood and went to the movie theater to grab a snack and visit his daughter and friends. I walked in covered in chips and wore my chaps. Nobody looked twice except his daughter.

    I assume everyone knows where this comes from, "sagging" that is? Prisoners that were trolling for, ahh...some relations, would "advertise" this way. Seems it caught on with all the lil gangstah wanna be's, most of 'em have know clue where it came from

    What's y'alls feelings on a chic going in the store all grubbed out? I think I'm much more likely to give the look to a female than a male. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with a country girl that has been workin, but holey cloths, just dirty greasy nasty...hmmm, not so much. Does that make me a sexist pig? o_O

    I wear "business casual" to work every day, but get changed quickly when I get home to do the farming chores.
    Tonight I stopped at the local pizza shop to pickup a late dinner after cleaning the hog pens. Talk about "the look" o_O

    Wife came home from work yesterday, stopped in front of the bathroom mirror and says , "Gheez I got dirty today" then laughed and kept on going :rofl: :lol:

    After 26 years of upper management she moved into the maintenance shop. She loves her job now.
    Enjoys the work and coming home dirty

    I really dont know if we get the look or not...just dont care either way.
