There is a reason your shirt has that many buttons

People who button their shirt to the correct level

People who unbutton the top 2-4 buttons of their dress shirt

Let me start off by saying this: there are few exceptions to the hard and fast rule of buttoning a shirt up to the penultimate button.  These exceptions are known as “hot women”.  No others exist.

I wonder how long Google Analytics will tell me how long you hover on that image…

Anyhow, I am pretty fortunate to live in a city where the guys are pretty conservative with their buttoned shirts.  Most people understand that these buttons were invented for the specific reason of vomit-in-mouth prevention, and they work almost flawlessly when used properly.  But occasionally, guys will open the neck hatch a few more clicks, a practice I do not appreciate one bit.  In and around Atlanta, this usually happens in the spring and fall: used as a substitute technique to pissing on trees during our prime cougar hunting months.  But unless your name is Emilio, there is no excuse for this.

I am going to start carrying flypaper around and pay/dare drunk college kids to assault these people’s chest hair.  I’m thinking this can be done somewhere in the $20 – $50 range, which gives me a very high entertainment ROI.  I haven’t figured out what to do about the guys who shave their chest, but maybe their own brain is the punishment they are forced to live with their whole lives, and that might be enough.

In writing this, I have found that blog articles that people might classify as “not safe for work” or NSFW, might also be considered NSFGW, or “not safe for Great Wraps”, which is where I’m sitting as people are troubling themselves to figure out why I’m searching the internet for both men with exposed chests and women with enormous cleavage.  Maybe I’m just an awkwardness vampire, feeding on nervous tension rather than blood.  I’m feeling very strong right now.

    I’d like to add inappropriate use of v-neck sweaters in here too.

    Saturday morning while we were at Java Jive for breakfast, a 60-something man with a red v-neck sweater with nothing underneath walked right by my table on his way out. Furthermore, he had the sweater tucked into his jeans, making the v-neck even deeper & making the view of man cleavage even more egregious. I can’t be sure, but I thought I saw belly button.

    Luckily, I was pretty much done with my breakfast by then.

    You have no idea how much I enjoy doing compliance research in airports. The looks I get are amazing.

    I agree to a point, though i leave the top 2 buttons open as i think anything higher than that is too nerdy and constricting feeling regardless of weather

    Honestly I think it is worse to button ALL the buttons when you are not wearing a tie, than anything. What is the point of that?

    Don’t let your bias get the best of you just because you don’t have any chest hair (I’m guessing)

    I have no idea if you wrote any text for this entry at all. 5 out of 5 for the picture alone. The one of the girl….not the dude.
