I’ve always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    Especially an airport.
    People just have zero class traveling on airplanes these days. If that’s your best attempt at looking respectable, then you failed.
    And don’t claim comfort. There are many ways of looking decent and comfortable at the same time.

    (yeah yeah, get off my lawn)

      Airlines treat us like trash, we can dress how we want. If I’m not in business class, there ain’t no need.

        I won’t argue that airlines treat people like cattle, but one should still make an attempt at looking respectable.

        You’re not doing it for the airline. You’re doing it for those who have to look at you.

          The reactions to your comments show why everyone hates Americans lol. Obnoxious to listen to, obnoxious to look at. At least showers exist there.

            I’ve visited one country in Central America and had a layover in another, and I didn’t notice anyone doing any particular dressing up for flights. Just the same mix of casual tees and office casual shirts that I see in the US. Clean clothes = good to go. Maybe dressing up for a flight is a European thing?
