    They are always impressed by my ‘Happy Camper’ pajamas and Bigfoot slippers. Many compliments.

    Seriously.... Jesus Christ said we’re all a bunch of actors. People choose to wear the costume that represents their act.

    Exactly, I wear decent jeans, a company shirt every day, I bathe daily and present myself in a proper manner, customers appreciate a driver that looks decent. If I'm a shipper and a driver shows up looking like hell, I might wonder about his driving skills and the safety of my product. For the longest time, my bosses would only send myself or one other driver to new customers, because we always looked nice, clean, neat, after the second pickup, they'd send one of the other drivers, now, pretty much all of us make an effort.

    Does it really matter?

    Unless you're at a place that requires some sort of cleanliness or ppe.

    Yes, it matters. If you don't already understand that, nobody can teach it to you. And I don't mean this in any disrespect. You do you. But it matters.

    My sister went out on a first date with a guy she had met while in driving school. There was absolutely no chance for a second date. Why sis?

    “He showed up wearing sweatpants!”

    Yeah sweatpants are a no go for date night regardless of how long you're together.

    My wife actually bought me some "house pants". Apparently work boots aren't okay in the bed. I don't understand her.

    I mean, why is it okay for her to wear high heels to bed, but I can't wear my steel toes??????

    Women.....
