Better than being 32 and shopping at Footasylum, walking around with a backwards cap on, super skinny jeans, and red high tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It's funny in my office on dress-down Friday's and all the 30-odd year old blokes who work in the call centre (i.e. the dumbasses) walk around thinking they're in Blink182 or limpbizkit baggy shorts, high tops, short black t-shirts and backwards caps and a few with long baseball socks. You work in Marston Green "cool guy", you drive a 99 reg Corsa - you ent in Calfornia HAHAHAHA /superiority 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have no idea what high tops are. I’m guessing some abomination of a dap or trainer. Probably with wheels in the heels or a flashing led function. Either that, or underpants visible above your trousers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it doesn't affect me as I don't shop there but they seem to be **** up a lot. the other way round. I went into M&S last year, and wanted to buy a standard basic t-shirt. The smallest size they had could have fitted an elephant, and they called it XS. The same t-shirt in Zara would have been an XXL. Basically they assume everyone who shops at M&S are fat b8888rds (maybe they are, no idea as haven't been back in that shop since).

I've never been an 'S' in my life. I'm 6'0, although in fairness I am in superb shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m my younger days working in banking I went 18 months without eating a single meal at my apartment. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all eaten out.

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Doors banging becasue the windows are open. I cannot tell you how unhappy it makes me. Opening windows is easy, thinking about the door's and the wind isnt. Í **** hate it. (I jump out my skin at loud (as in heart rate and adrenalin) noises for various reasons) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
