Okay, final airport blog I promise, but:
It's very interesting how the airport is one of the few places where the lower middle class rub shoulders with the really wealthy. Everyone who doesn't have a their own private jet ends up hanging out at the same gate as people who are flying standby or on points. And boy, rich people just look so *expensive* and I so rarely encounter them in person. They just always look a dog fresh from the groomer. None of their sweaters have pills.
@Satsuma (and I'm thin and white enough that I don't get the skank-eye for looking a bit unkempt,, too)
@Betty yeah i vote we normalize looking like you’ve actually been doing things for everyone (except the rich if they want to keep being Weird about it i guess, they’re not my problem)
@Satsuma god, what a drag. I mean, I try to look good enough to get treated well by the system, you know, but a certain degree of hedge-through-backwardness is just going to be my signature look.
