    I’m Brazilian and live in a hot coastal city, so I usually pay attention to people wearing hoodies at weird times of the day. Bonus points if they’re wearing a hoodie and shorts (it usually mean that guy is concealing something in it, if the guy was actually cold they wouldn’t be wearing shorts).

    I also tend to be kinda annoyed at people with christian stickers on their cars.

      I work in a bakery. Bakeries are hot as fuck, so I wear shorts. They also open early as fuck, so I’m frequently walking to work sometime between 3:45 and 5:15, when it’s almost always very chilly.

      Sweatshirt and shorts is basically my uniform, plus I look annoyed and I’m out in the middle of the night and fully sober. I imagine I’d put off a vibe I’m not intending to for you, lol.

      Oh man, you’d hate the Midwest. Aside from the obvious reasons, there’s a baffling culture of white dudes who only wear shorts and hoodies no matter the temp outside.

        I’m one of those strange folks, but I’m not wearing a hoodie in the summer lol. For me, it’s a compromise between sensory issues and running warm. I hate wearing long pants, and I don’t really mind the cold on my legs, so I wear a hoodie to stay warm and shorts to be comfortable. I’m not putting on a show for anyone, but lots of kids in the midwest absolutely do it for attention.

        Eh, I wouldn’t be concerned about something like that if I lived in the US, here tho having a hoodie and no pants is the telltale sign of some dude up to no good. Hell, the last time some dude tried stealing bikes from our apartment building and we caught him in the act he was actually wearing an orange hoodie and shorts lmao
