I spill coffee on all my shirts and get paint on all my shorts and pants. My wardrobe is paint and coffee stained. My wife rolls her eyes at me for this daily. My favorite life is good t shirt just went in the shop rag pile because of this. I have my standard layover stuff and my uniforms. Everything else is used. I get a number 1 clipper cut from my wife. I am not a metrosexual. I don't even want to live in a neighborhood filled with metrosexuals. I use tools on my days off and I like it.
I get a kick out of beach vacationers who are renting a house and everything they are wearing just had the tag removed. I'd rather own the house.
