FAN: Wash That Stank Off

No, this is not a Tiger or Ben post although I get it if you think it is. I was picking up my shirts at the local dry cleaner's and I was shooting the shit with the owner. An older gentleman walked in and by older I just mean older than me (41). I'm guessing he was Stilladog + 5 years of age. The girl said "....and how do you like your shirts again?". He said and I kid you not - "heavy heavy heavy starch." Wow. I guess he likes that tight polished look, good for him. Then he continued.... "yes, that way I can wear them four times before I need to bring them back."

Dude. Do not bring "the funk" into the work place. It's the worst. We expect it from some. Heck I work with a guy who I swear smells like he ate a 14" salami right before coming to my desk, but for all that is good and holy, please do everything you can not to smell at work. Four days? With a nice crisp shirt? I will give you two if it's heavy material and doesn't wrinkle. I have a few oxfords like that. But even still, I'm not a fan of putting on a shirt that I've already worn to work one day. I get dressed at 6:00 and undressed at 5:00. That's eleven hours.

Don't get me wrong - I'll wear the same exact hoodie Monday evening through Friday evening after work. I wore the same t-shirt on Sunday working in the bathroom that I already wore all day Saturday working in there. It's not about that, it's about the audience. I've worn jeans that can almost stand up on their own, but not to work. Come on, dude.
