So here in Houston it’s hot as hell. Even the north east is hot so you guys know what I mean. Well all weekend I’ve been working in my yard and garage with no shirt and can’t help but feel a little trashy. What do you think? Is a shirt required to stay classy while working outside? I work in an office most of the time so I’m pretty white, almost a ghost. I wante some sun while working so I figured no shirt was a good idea.
I guess it depends. You don’t looks trashy otherwise, so I think you could get away it. If you had a mullet and burly beard, maybe not.
The activity also plays into this. Gardening/landscaping…seems ok. But if you’re out there setting up an inflatable pool and drinking gratuitous amounts of Pabst Blue Ribbon, I wouldn’t recommend it.
I’ve often wondered about this myself. I’ve always been a strictly shirt-on guy unless I’m legitimately at the pool or beach. But shit, sometimes its freaking hot out.
Word lol I was wearing khaki shorts and sandles. I watered all my plants, washed and waxed two cars, changed the trucks oil and cut some trim for my bathroom in the garage. I’ll probably do some work on my corvette tonight as well. If I had a kiddy pool I’d be in it eating a hot dog or two.
I’m shirt on unless it’s so hot the shirt is soaked and sticking to me. Although in my neighborhood I’m the only normal person, so the neighbors can’t really judge me.
No shirt for me, I could give a shit, I sweat too much to worry about a shirt.
unless you’re gross, i seriously doubt anyone driving by would even really notice you were shirtless. It’s texas and summer, who cares. Shit, it’s buffalo and it’s summer, still no cares.
Why don’t you hire illegals to do that for you in Texas?
Trashy people don’t do lawn work.
That’s actually a really good point.
I do partially lol. They cut the grass, trim, weed and clean the mulch. Three/Four guys actually spend 1.5-2 hours working on my yard for $80 and 8 beers per month. I was just watering and washing / working on cars etc.
What? Normal under all conditions. Yard work = soak up some sun. Being able to go shirtless damn near anywhere in the summer is one of the benefits of being the superior sex. What’s next? Are you going to make a poll asking if it’s OK to pee standing up even though you might splash the seat?
it’s your own yard… who cares what other people think
but then again, maybe that is why WT park old beat to shit cars on their lawns… okay nevermind
if you can pull it off its okay, if you can’t its not
i see no problem with it.

It’s friggin hot, no shirt needed. I painted my garage this weekend and was way more comfortable once I ditched mine. I hate when you sweat enough that it sticks to you. It’s only trashy if you go to Wal Mart shirtless or something.
How much shit could you give?
It’s ok as long as you can pull it off. Ie not fat and hairy. I can not go shirtless unless swimming or at home indoors. No one needs to see that
I’m fat and hairy. I go shirtless if I’m actually doing anything that physically requires effort.
Screw my neighbors if they do not like the ape that is me.
I feel trashy when I do it but I still do. I am covered in tats and don’t want to scare my neighbors lol.
what is gay would be to do your yard work with a shirt on and then go fake tanning…
I try to have to my shirt off whenever it’s over 80 outside and I’m on my own property outside and without guests around.
