Now we are on to something that pisses me off - 'the weather' and the making of pointless comments about appropriatness of clothing based on 'the weather'.
it's too hot in my office, it's too hot in any office. the temp in any open plan office is typically set high enough to stop the most stick-thin hypothyroidal woman there moaning. So I wear T shirt and shorts even now... yet every f**king time someone has to make a lame comment like 'you off on holidays', 'aren't you freezing' etc etc. Are they trying to get a rise out of me? Make idle conversation?

CAJ said:Hahaha Yes, I know this all too well.

'God, aren't you cold!?'
'You must be freezing!!?'

'No, mate, I live in shorts all year round, I don't like jeans/trousers they don't fit me well and are uncomfortable due to the size of my massive alpha quads, something you wouldn't know about you skinny, non-squatting heathen.

For f**k sake! Can a guy not wear t-shirt and shorts in winter without been looked upon as some sort of freak show!!?

DomRedshaw said:it is a silly greeting, most poeple dont care how you are so why ask.

if im not ok i usually respond with "ive been better" or "not really" which seems to make people feel awkward. if people are going to assume everyone is ok why bother asking ha.

also to add to the shorts topic, i dont mind people in shorts in colder weather if they have t shirts but people with hat scarf and big winter jackets and shorts make me think wtf! your either cold or not and you look like a plonker

My response...

"Still not had a new fiver yet."

She looked confused but I did a LOAL to myself and kept on walking. No cockney walk today though, my trousers were too tight and my thighs chaffing.
