(3,557 posts)I'm a chemist and I work constantly with a lot of acids and various things that stain clothes, skin, and everything else. I almost always wear a lab coat over jeans and a t-shirt, but I invariably get drips of stuff on the lower half of my pants and shoes. If I wear it to work, it'll probably get ruined so nobody gives me a hard time.
I'm in the upper tier pay-wise in my facility but you wouldn't guess it by looking at me. I go weeks without shaving, I'm almost always in need of a haircut, and I'm probably the worst-dressed and scraggliest looking person who works there.
I wish I had a picture, but my favorite shirt was given to me by my wife. She took a picture of my face, blew it up and put it on a shirt and wrote "World's Best Dad" on it. Who the hell wears a shirt with their picture on it? Me! I do! I'm that guy! Why would you put a picture of your kids on a "world's best dad" shirt? The kid's aren't the best dad, I am!
