    Everyone is different. It's what makes life interesting. Nobody wants to dress the same as you. I've seen some interesting apparel choices that gave me a chuckle, but you know what? None of it made a difference to me either way, because it's none of my business what another person wears. We are not a homogeneous country and everyone doesn't fancy themselves cowboys and bikers. Let them wear flipflops if they want. That way I get a good chuckle when they drop the wrench on them toes!

    I don't recall anyone advocating for the cowboy or biker look??? The OP was only an observation made 45 years ago... But there have been some references to the beach-bum look.

    Actually it’s more of a garbage dumpster look. Or a “I slept under a bridge in a refrigerator box look”.
    Drivers wonder why there is no respect or professionalism in the industry today.

    I have no room to talk this morning. Had to stop for gas on my way home from the farm and I looked like I had just crawled off the Titanic.

    I slipped and fell in a pile of wet horse manure this morning and then had the brilliant idea of hosing my pant leg off. Whereupon I slipped and fell again, soaking my other side. Hair all askew and falling out of my bun, boots squeaking, emanating an eau du equine and my Republic of Texas shirt smeared with Lord Knows What.
