    We can’t see his feet, but there’s a 99% chance he’s wearing a pair of filthy sandals with way too many miles on them.

      I still remember in high school when it was literally snowing outside, and some american kid came in wearing flip-flops and shorts. Legend

      Nah man, this is a picture of me. He’s wearing Skechers Slip-Ins, which recently replaced his New Balance sneakers.

    I’m the opposite. No matter how hot it is, I’m wearing full-length jeans. It’s never bothered me, and I’ve had significantly fewer instances of finding ticks on my body compared to my friends.

      Genuine question, what are you doing on a regular basis where you would expect to get ticks on you while wearing jeans? Are you a pokemon trainer walking through tall grass all day?

        Hiking and fishing, mostly. It doesn’t take much to get a tick. If they get near my feet they can latch onto my ankle if I don’t catch them soon enough.

          Ok yeah fair. I live in tick country as well so any time you go in ankle high grass you will likely get ticks. I mostly just put on my outdoor pants or bug spray if I expect to do so.

    I walked 2 miles from work in a college town when it was -20F in shorts. I’ll be damned if I willingly ever wear pants.

    If only he knew he could have worn long pants as long as he took off his shirt first. That could have saved his life.
