My wife and I rarely get away from the farm for social events. I do get to wear IH at the office and at home so I shouldn’t “rant” but I’m going to anyhow.
We get an invite today to a friends 40th bday party in early September. Great, stoked to accept the invite and be able to wear my IH gear to a third space. Done and done right? No.
The invite, to a party at a park near a lake:
“Please join us in wearing golf attire as it’s a golf themed party”.There is no golf course nearby, and no fucking golfing happening.

@sabergirl loan me yours?

@Bridger great ideas. I have a wild jersey I could cut the sleeves off from. Too hot for the gopher costume.

Probably because I’m a git, I ignore instructions as to how I should dress going to fancy dress or themed parties and just wear what I like. I can put up with any comments about me being a curmudgeon.

And actually thinking about it @jordanscollected , are there rules as to what you wear playing golf?
Edit. Just googled it, there does appear to be a dress code, which is another fucking good reason not to pick up a golf bat.....

depending on the ponsiness of the club, then yes.

@IrishHeart Same, I actually find it easier to ignore once I made the concious decision to ignore the request!

If you have to go…

@jordanscollected Solve it with the help of the right cap …

These are all great ideas. I do have one decent option to incorporate IH. @mclaincausey recently passed on a pair of Wabash pants cut off into shorts. I bet those would pass for golf shorts.
Pair it with my Wabash mechanic work shirt and a golf hat. I may have found my path.
Though @Giles ”I would not attend” led my choices for most of yesterday.

There are some bold folks at work who lack basic knowledge of human decency or common courtesy. When the hallways are 10 feet wide, foot traffic generally defaults to road rules, but for some reason i run into the same problem both in the halls and on the roads. I'd argue that the worst thing you can do, the ultimate offense, is to go into oncoming traffic. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Why then do i constantly have to dodge people crossing lines? This is less severe but even more common in the hallways. Today I had oncoming traffic that was 5-wide, shoulder to shoulder, with an individual attempting an overtake, hugging the wall, on a collision course. This guy looked straight at me, head on like he had the right of way, while leaving me zero space, and pinballed himself between me and the wall. I wasn't feeling very confrontational as I'm in a good mood today, so I settled for a dose of self-served embarrassment and a rather irritated pardon. What would you risk to save a few seconds?

@WhiskeySandwich I can relate, although the corridors at work are not wide enough for this. I’ll resist the urge to let rip on all my gripes about pedestrians in public spaces, but I hate it when groups of individuals and couples change course to create a solid barrier across the full width of the street and force anyone coming the other way to do an emergency 90° turn so they can get round the end of the approaching phalanx. That and people who insist on going round shops in groups of 6-8 plus.
