Jaw-dropping. It’s all fun and games to them.

Not sure if there’s a better place to post it. This seemed the most-relevant in light of one of the ultimate WASPy rich dicks mocking the homeless.
There’s only two people that dress like they live on the streets. The people that actually live there, and rich people who have never lived on the streets.
And trades people. When I go to the city I’m often worse dressed than the unhoused. My pants are covered in glue and my coat is worn and dirty. Once I was waiting for a bus and stirring my coffee and someone tried to put money in it.
Maybe it’s my trade, or maybe it’s me…
I mean, I don’t want to wear my good jeans to work. They actually give us outfits, but I still wear crummy clothes in to change. The building is filthy and I don’t want that on my good clothes. Also my partner wouldn’t be happy about it.
My friend, if I see someone dressed like they’re a painter or whatever IMO that’s way different than someone living on the street.
You can buy new work pants you know. My boss who lives in a 7 figure home had ragged holes in his pants. Had to scold him.
I’ve gotten holes in my pants the first day I wore them doing manual labor. If they’re still covering my junk and protecting the important parts, I’m still wearing them.
My problem is that my good pants accidentally become work pants but they still pant just fine. I draw the line at ragged holes personally. As you say, it bothers other people a lot more than it bothers me.
