Shit that annoys you

[GiBo]

Well all be, we got ourselves a TGR Versace up in here!

Anyone so clueless as to wear those awful shorts, dorky t shirt and mid rise white tube socks with black shoes just might be so clueless to think that we’d believe that load of crap.

When did you come out?

I pictured Bmills as looking more like Karl Lagerfeld.

To follow on this, color blocking is cool too. Different shade of blue from the blue pants for example solid grey with grey herringbone, etc.

TRG is no stranger to the sartorialist.

Bmills, I suspect I know the answer to this, but when are argyle socks appropriate?

The 80s.

But argyle in general did seem to come back a bit a year or so ago. Just make sure the predominant color goes with the pants, and never with a suit. (See earlier Gallagher comment)

Anyone want to talk houndstooth car interiors?

And Cary Grant was one of the classiest...

OK, Boomer.

I wear my argyle socks with my bike shorts and bike shoes.

There’s nothing wrong with personal style. And I’m late Gen X. The discussion was more along the lines of traditional best practices.

And how not to look like the hoarding tool bag in TN.

Without question. Hence my response.

It annoys me that Google image search totally blows now. It was really good and they ruined it by making every image commercial shit they can get revenue from. Is there an alternative?

[spanky]

Who do you think you are? Imelda Marcos?

She was the queen of shoes. I’m not sure she was the authority on men’s fashion.

I'll bet she was...

My wife’s company refuses to close even though they serve Oregon and Washington who have closed bars and restaurants and advised non essential companies to close down. They could easily close to the public for a couple weeks with little or no financial hit but are refusing to, but the top three people at the company are all taking vacation next week to self quarantine leaving everyone else to risk their health. “We’re a big family here” my ass.

[The AD]

In general unless you have to, or your activity makes your feet sweat, don't wear socks between Memorial Day and Labor Day, ymmv as always.

My mileage definitely varies on this. I can't imagine not wearing socks except when wearing an open-toed show like flip-flops.

Getting narcotics filled when our regular pharmacy is out. They can’t transfer electronic script to another store. Doctor has to send new script. But we cannot get hold of them.

Yeah - I get that sentiment, but I think it's too harsh.

Some of the latest data I've seen, seem to indicate that the vast spread of COVID-19 is very possibly because
1) A very substantial population of infected people who show no symptoms.
See: https://www.eurosurveillance.org/con....25.10.2000180
[TLDR; 17-~50% of tested individuals who came back positive did not show symptoms. (The higher percentages from cases in Iceland and a small town in Italy that tested 100% of it's population.)]

2) Perhaps a higher viral load.
See: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2004973

I think #1 is the more concerning thing.
IMO, it makes the push for social distancing way more important - even if you're "well."
Lots of people, cancer patients, etc. have way worse survival rates - and it seems really sucky to be "well, you're on your own buddy..." about those people.
[And finally, it seems there'a huge range of variability in outcomes. People we'd expect to be fine, in some cases are not fine. Others we'd expect to likely die don't.] So, rather than play dice with someone else's health - regardless if they "deserved" it or not - lets really practice compassion for others and do that "social distancing."

Is that too much to ask? It seems pretty easy, generally, to do - even if it's inconvenient.

Ya know, life is a lot more pleasant if you're not a dick. Both for you and for those you interact with...you knew that, right?

Just so we can stay on topic...
People in Costco who can't wait the 2 seconds to give reasonable spacing, because, I dunno, they think this is all bullshit, or they need their trashcan sized popcorn in their older-middle-aged hands this very second ... or something? They annoy me.

[Supermoon]

Why the fuck are you going to Costco?
