What is it with some people and wearing short pants all the time?
My workplace is quite the eclectic melting pot of personalities, but I notice this among others as well. What is with some who wear short pants all the freaking time, like it's some extension of their pseudo more hedonistic than thou beach bum persona. All these Jimmy Buffet wannabes are moaning about the arrival of fall's cool weather that most of us welcome with open arms...dreamed of as we suffered through a sweltering summer.
Full disclosure: I don't wear short pants. Well, I'll lounge about my house and patio in the summer in them, and spend poolside or at the beach in swim trunks and a T-shirt, but that's just because long pants are impractical and unnecessary in those situations...that is, as a response to certain conditions. I can understand that when it's hot, some can see the need and desire to do so. I'm talking about those who will wear long pants only where decorum specifically requires it, or when the temperatures are intolerably cold. Even then, many thin blooded types constantly bitch about the cooling of fall and early winter; even as they don jackets, hats and hoodies over their short panted bottoms. WTF? It's as stupid as me complaining of the summer heat while wearing insulated carhart coveralls.
Must be a north/south cultural thing.

gives me the willies.
I have Raynauds and wear socks all year long, although they're thinner in the summer.
I'll see people running around in flip flops in below 50 degree weather and cringe in pain.
