    When I am at home, and unless I am expecting guest, I will refuse to wear trousers. My wife has come to terms with that and that's something she married into. So don't get me wrong, i have nothing against going about your day nekkid.

    I could not juxtapose this any further when being in a professional setting. If you are at work, you should be required to wear a shirt. It should be mandated. It's a pet peeve of mine. I am getting ready to resurface my roof next year. I don't care if we are in SC, if I catch you up there on my second story roof replacing my shingles without a shirt, your company will have some explaining to do.

    And you guys are probably going "crap, we lost R/R... He just went full Karen on us". But it's about the principle of being in a professional setting. You are being paid to do a job and you should have enough respect for your workplace to be fully dressed.

    Sorry about my last rant. I didn't mean to sound disparaging or petty. I just got these things that i am weird about. Speaking of... If you thought I couldn't have fallen into a deeper end of the pool, all I can say is "wait, there's more!!!"

    Along with my long collection of Pro stickers (many which where mailed to me by you guys reading this), the other job related hobby that I have is to take photos of speed limit signs that don't end in 0 or 5. I will impede traffic to stop and grab my phone for these.

    So here is what I came up with so far.

    One place I go has a 13.5mph sign. The lot is so rough anything over 5mph will put anything that’s not on the floor, on the floor.

    I don't mean to burden you. But if it's not too much trouble, could you please take a photograph of that sign the next time you come upon it and either upload it here or PM it to me? I'd appreciate it.
     
    McUzi and 062 Thank this.

    Yeah yeah.. I mean, if you happen to drive past it and have time to capture it. Just wanna kick this ball out there and see if anyone wants to kick it back. It's ok if it never gains any traction. It would just be an interesting thing to have.
     
    062 Thanks this.

    Not full Karen at all. When I'm having work done to my house/property, I am not chincy about what I'm paying. I'm fine with paying companies good money that treat their personnel right, have sharp and maintained trucks/equipment etc. But part of paying that good money is I also expect that to trickle down to the image that the contractor/company is projecting while working on my behalf.
     
    road_runner and misterG Thank this.
