People who don’t know how to use their inside voice. On the train.

That sinking gut feeling when you ship something and get to your car and realize the over $700 US of gear shipped… only has $50 insurance.
I just threw up a little.

. Woman sitting across from me on the train,with headphones on would randomly start singing along to whatever the fuck she was listening to. I wanted to ask her if she wouldn’t mind singing a little bit louder,so the rest of the people on the train could hear her. Didn’t have the balls,just had to laugh.

The past 4-5 times I've traveled I got "lucky" and landed in one of the lines where they don't make you take your shoes off. Each of those times I was wearing Wescos. Each time they direct me to the "shoes on" line I tell them my shoes are going to set off the alarm. Each time they tell me it should be fine and shoes are never the cause and to walk through. Each time the alarm goes off. Go back. Take my boots off. Go through again. No alarm.
Next time I'll wear my XHS just to really confuse them.

People who watch videos or listen to music on their phone without headphones… on the train.

Calls for a brisk drubbing. And loss of cellphone privileges. Wesco style.

Same happens to me with the boots I normally wear while traveling. Makes being in the TSA Pre-Check line a bit less useful.

Yes…and what is it with people holding their phone out in front of them, putting speaker phone on, and having a shouting conversation in public. We were on a rail replacement train this weekend (Oh joy) and I guy a few seats up was shouting, cursing, and being very obnoxious, there were really young kids and older folks on there too. How do you become THAT unself aware?? Wanker.

Good news. Verified shipment arrived. Today (next day) vs estimated Saturday.
Much grateful so relieved.

Follow up on my rant a few days ago.

I was careful not to wear them home and check them this time.

We've already passed that already, and today is only the 13th.It's cool. It not like we're trying to get construction finished…

Les was either bitten or got scratched and spent a couple of days on a drip in hospital.
Yikes, that's terrible. I hope he's recovered sufficiently, and not just rushing to get out of the hospital.
What kind of a plague worksite are you running, anyway?

So I feel I’m missing something. I’m traveling to Dallas next week and was planning to wear Ironheart. Is there a reason not to?
I would appreciate if someone can elaborate on their experience.
There have been a number of anecdotes published here through the last few years where people have been stopped in the US by TSA while wearing Iron Heart's UHR denim. Apparently the thickness and density of the denim sets off something or another. No one has ever been refused the right to board or anything like that but they've been stopped and checked. Avoid UHR and you'll be fine.
Late reply, but for the record, I read wearing an IHT-1600.
I guess the fabric at the seams is just so it looks unusual on the scanners, which raises suspicion

My high school was on the banks of a river that might run blue, red,or green, depending on what dyes the mills upstream were running that day. In warm months the stench meant closed windows. Ah, memory…
The mills are long gone and fish and all manner of wildlife have returned. No jobs though.
