Should we stop trusting people who wear suits?

    We hear so much about people who wear track-suits and how undesirable they are and how much they are a drain on society.

    What about the suit-wearers?

    The politicians. The 'expert' economists. The academics. The banksters.

    They all wear suits and they've all sustained massive damage on this country.

    So should we treat people who wear suits with suspicion or is that just apparel prejudice?

    You tell me.

    If ever i need business with someone i never trust a man in a flashy suit.
    Normal suits are fine though.

    So there's a hierarchy of suits?

    I know nothing of the hierarchy of suits I'm afraid*.





    *not really afraid

    I always get suspicious of somebody in a flashy suit for some reason,i think it's down to them showing a persona of "i will do anything,even rip you to better myself" attitude,very salesman-ish

    Funny how you never see good looking nudists.

    They're always big fat men with tiny dicks or really old women with saggy, wrinkly tits.

    My mechanic always said "the guy covered in dirt just finished work will always pay, the guy in the suit will try and screw you over".

    Aw man, years of watching Eurotrash cos that's all there was and, don't get me wrong, I towed myself around the room to that carry on, but at least I have hot pert looking girls on demand now.

    Virtually of course

    Dunno OP.

    Would you prefer tracksuit wearing hands down the jocks types running the show?

    Well, a Debenhams off the rack doesn't exactly stand up to a completely and perfectly tailored suit.

    Confident people who dont need clothes as a label??

    Anyway..back on topic.

    I only trust people who wear normal clothes..no tracksuits or suits. Middle ground is good.

    So you you use clothes as a label on others yourself then?

    Depends whether they were a sociopathic self-obsessed bastard or not I guess.

    But if I were to go by clothes then isn't it suit and uniform wearers who cause the most death and destruction in this world.

    You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a dirty rollin'-in-it's-**** pig ain't it?

    Ahhhh now. Starbelgrades post asked a question you left out in your quote ;)

    And yes..I would see clothes as a label. Tracksuit wearing lads with his lady wearing her pj's to the shop???? Come on, what should I think?

    Suit wearing,the same. Ive only ever dealt with people who have no airs and graces, so wearing a suit wont sway me. I think an honest person can dress nicely without going to extremes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭longhalloween


    Well I don't trust people with toolbelts, and I don't trust people in tracksuits, so I guess suits would be the natural progression for me.

    Shame on you Chucken.

    People who wear suits are competent by the qualification of the clothes they wear.

    They must be taken seriously.

    After all they are wearing a suit! You can't wear that uniform unless you know what you're doing... can you?

    When it comes to the Dail i think some sort of dress code should be enforced. We've all seen the alternative


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 476 ✭✭christ on a bike!


    Ah lads, ye're talking absolute horse manure, though good job OP

    A suit is just a pair of clothes, and like wearing any clothes if you aren't chilling out you may as well try to look good
    So if you have to wear a suit for work then wear a nice fitted one
    The jobs in which you may need to wear a suit for are wide and variable
    And even in the 'evil' ones you speak of, ie banking, politics etc, there's still a hell of a lot of decent folk there and should you judge them on their attire then you are small minded and need to get out more.
    In my opinion. Which is 100% correct in this instance

    There are only three things I would fight: the stubborn clasp of a bra, a paternity suit and the urge to vomit whenever I see someone wear brown shoes with a black suit


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,029 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    the urge to vomit whenever I see someone wear brown shoes with a black suit

    Yeah, what's up with that coordination blindness?

    Clothes snobbery is one thing but matching-shit-up snobbery is something I will admit to 'suffering' from. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,125 ✭✭✭Killer Pigeon


    The academics.

    Yes the academic/intellectuals! Stop trusting them! Burn all the books! Fahrenheit 451 and all that jazz!!

    I think the OP is just jealous because he doesn't have a proper suit.

    Ah ha, so you know what a 'proper' suit is compared with an improper suit?

    Lol, suit snob.

    Next please.

    the guys at the top control but revolution is well overdue. the top players will end the world before we have the courage to stand against our rulers. we as humanity will die quickly because of religion, oil and commodity.
