Sometimes I think people do things just to offend other people sensibilities, like walking around with your pants below you butt, showing your underwear.

Oh come on guys. You don't like it when other people at shows cut your trucks down. And you don't do it to people here that you might know. Ya some of this may not be your taste, but it is someone's taste. Not my taste either but very creative for sure. But I am not a rat rod guy either.

At a local diner I witnessed they asked a man to leave for wearing a tank top shirt but they
had a customer at the counter with large holes and gauges on each side of his nose. I would of rather seen the arm pits than the inside of a guys nasal passage. Maybe he owns one of those cars.
