Must be we're too ugly to be given our former status.
Here are a couple of stories for you guys
SWMBO is super sensitive to petrol/gas, diesel fumes etc so I'm the one that fills up the vehicles.
At 7am this morning SWMBO anounces she is going horse riding, again, and she needs fuel in her car.
So I put on some board shorts and a T-shirt and a pair of flip flops, but seeing as it is 1.7ºC (35F - I know that cos just heard that on the radio) I put on my grubby shop sweater with the melted holes in the sleeve from using the angle grinder, and change the flip flops for a pair of sump oil spattered Ugg boots (Sheep skin slipper/boots) with big holes around the area of the big toe. The reason they are oil stained is I wore them once while carrying a leaking container of sump oil.
On my way out the door I stop by the bedroom, where she is sitting up in bed with a up of tea reading a book, and say, "do you think I might look a bit like one of those Walmart people"
She peers peers over her reading glasses and after a one second pause says.
"you always look like one of those Walmart people dear"
And a another;
This morning I got up and being a touch on the cold side I pulled on some track suit pants with the large hole in the crotch, the same soil stained Ugg boots, and a lowish tier sweater (but not the one with the melted sleeves) which I absent mindedly put on over my bright blue and white pyjama top.
I then made some breakfast for SWMBO and myself, fed the dogs, hung out and put on some washing, and also unpacked and restacked the dishwasher.
Then it was time to walk the dogs, so, noting the manky Ugg boots, I changed to my walking trainers (only one side of which has been chewed out by the dogs) bundled the dogs into the car and went down to the river and let them chase each other and other dogs for half an hour.
On the way home I thought there's no bread or coffee so I will stop off at the shops and get some.
Inside the supermarket an over chatty neighbour said hello and started telling me her latest life drama which I managed to ignore but as I drew away I did notice she looked at me a little strangely.
When I got home I brought a cup of tea into SWMBO and she looked at me and said, "been to Walmart again darling?"
I glanced at myself in the mirror and only then saw the crotch blown track pants and the PJ top.
SWMBO was not amused especially when I told her I once wore the same pyjama top to the hardware but I doubt anyone noticed as it was inside out.
