Katt posted:Imagine working in the US where you have to wear a suit for all kinds of menial crap and you have to call even minor management "sir" Haha, imagine calling your boss "herrn". Which would technically be disrespectful even under the old system, since "herrn" was the fallback title for garbage tier scrubs who couldn't be called "Direktörn" or whatever. Same with "ni" which contrary to popular belief has never been a polite way to address anyone.

so that means I can be a cheapskate and post about posting instead of having some wit or spending any more on comedy avs for people. Which I'm also incapable of. Comedy.

People in this thread are mad about suits  MiddleOne posted:I mean this really says it all. This was a weird derail even for this thread. Because people weren't freaking out about suits before I posted.

The first time I had to wear a tie aged 15 or so, my mother stood me in front of a mirror and tied my tie while she stood behind me, reaching over my shoulders. I remember thinking she had a strange look on her face as she did so. Some years after that, I think I figured out why. My father died before my first birthday, and I can only assume she used to do the same for him, helping him tie his tie in the mirror... and this was the first time since he died a decade and a half previously that she had done it. Anyhow, that's the only tie story I know. Sadly I only figured it out after she too died, so I never asked her.

I work in an international environment so ties are part of the uniform. When in Rome ( dress classy like an Italian).

After working abroad for 10 years, returning to Scandinavia was a relief, dress code wise. The dress code for entry level employees in offices in the Philippines was slacks and a nice shirt. Team leaders wore suits. Managers rocked the full ensemble. In a country with an average temperature of 27°C and a humidity of drown.

Imagine the people working at the royal family places who have to do the whole "your majesty" thing Wonder if it fucks up the brains of the royal children to be born into and grow up in that environment. I mean at least the king is a proper scoundrel and the queen a nazi princess. But the children who grew up in that limbo of zero power with the illusion of superiority. That has got to mess them up.

Suits are fine you big babies. Getting upset about someone wearing suits is just as stupid as whining about tattoos or piercings. Imagine actually giving a gently caress what clothes people wear in 2019.

I do give a gently caress when people think they're important and get to lord over me, just because they're a sales slimeball in a suit. The suit is obviously a symptom, not the cause.

Worked at a big publicly traded consulting firm in Stockholm. CEO would usually appear in jeans, a blazer and a pair of sneakers. Nice sneakers, sure, but sneakers all the same. VP's and department heads usually similar. There were some people who wore full suits but usually not every day. Not even management consultants did it consistently. Lawyers probably do, though.

I ain't forcing them to wear my getup and if I were, I'd be the same kind of poo poo that promote a suits standard.

gently caress the jeans, blazer and polyester shirts combo. I hate how "suits" in this country dress, they look like slobs. Blazers and jeans dont work together, not the materials, not the way it falls, nothing! Yes I have strong opinion about clothes.

So the deliberately limited official report on the Iraq War proves what everyone already knew, that the government lied to and withheld information from parliament. There will be no consequences, obviously.

Could be something related to how bad salting can be for the environment, I think that was a reason for it being stopped here several years ago. Also, if you are visiting Stockholm for the reason I think you are, you can see our posters there (they are not very cool).

They don't use it now that the temperatures are too cold so the roads are just plowed and they are perfectly driveable with studded tires.

They don't use it now that the temperatures are too cold so the roads are just plowed and they are perfectly driveable with studded tires. In Ulricehamn they just add more sand on the snow until you got an icecream sandwich of like 4 layers of snow and 3 of sand and the only way to drive anywhere is to drive around the whole town to the top of the hill and then drive down to your destination. Meanwhile the state road going through the town doesn't have a snowflake on it because the municipality has no saying on the salting there. More salt. All the salt.
