OK, no. No. No. No. No. No.
While I realize good men fought and died on the sands of Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Normandy, and Iraq so that this gentleman could wear flip-flops with a popped collar polo shirt, that doesn’t make it right. This travesty brings up the question: When is it appropriate to pop the collar on your polo shirt?
That one’s easy. There are really only two scenarios:
1. When you are auditioning for the role of douche. 2.When you actually are a douche.
Glad we got that cleared up.
Now the flip flops/jeans thing: We’ve already covered this, but flip-flops don’t go with jeans you lazy fuck – and certainly not with those blindingly white feet. Would a bronzing cream kill you? Maybe … eventually … but that’s not the point. The only time flip-flops and jeans are acceptable is when you are fleeing a burning building and don’t want to scorch your feet. This guy was obviously not fleeing a burning building because he had time to grab a cup of coffee, his laptop and some readers. What he was doing was camping out at some Westlake coffeehouse checking his Facebook feed. Status = douche.
