Trying to explain to my 6 year old daughter why she has to wear school uniform and why mummy has to wear a work uniform, yet I work in jeans and at shirt

Honey, you have to interact with your teachers and classmates. Mommy has to interact with customers. They refuse to let other humans near me after the last incident....

@RevThwack 🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂.
two options:
1. this *is* my uniform. you think I like it? I prefer boxers, and no shirt.
2. Clothes are a social convention. people expect you to wear appropriate clothes. jeans and T shirts is what people *expect* me to wear.

I had to buy jeans so I didn't look to formal as a developer. It's a uniform.

@starless wait.. what do you prefer wearing?

[whispers softly]: sound the alarm. We have an imposter in our ranks.

@ronakkaria women's dress pants are so much more comfortable than jeans. I have a pair that's silk-lined. They're made of a thinner, more flexible fabric than denim, so they're more comfortable to sit in. Also, they don't fit as tightly so I feel a little less exposed. And, of course, they still look nice.

Also, it's hard to beat a skirt for comfort, but people don't take me as seriously when I wear one, so... Uncomfortable, restricting jeans for me. :/

Learn a bit before you call someone out, yeah?

@starless wow I was only joking. I think I own one pair of jeans. They're.. somewhere.

I think you should totally wear those pants. Fuck them!

The other people I mean... not your pants. Don't fuck your pants.

I hate jeans too. I wear shorts. see my avatar? :P

@ronakkaria I work in manufacturing, and it's hard to get our techs to talk to us "carpetwalkers" as is. Also, dress pants and a t-shirt don't usually work together, but I appreciate the sentiment.
