Your thread @Its Me LuLuBelle2  brought back a memory of my then 4 year old daughter. We were at a close friend's home and my girlfriend's husband was sitting at the table with a sleeveless undershirt on eating dinner. Granted it was a very warm day but my daughter proceeded to tell him to put a shirt on. She told him when people eat they wear clothing... LOL

 

It does seem that some people just lack manners. They may not set out to offend anyone but they seem to not know any better.

Is it true that many NASCAR venues are having trouble filling seats?  Could it be that NASCAR is afraid that enforcing a dress code would deter some fans from purchasing tickets?  I've never attended a race at a major track, so these are just my thoughts.

@deepwaterdotter, I can't speak to other venues, but the Daytona 500 generally sells out (as it was this year).  But you raise a good point.  I'm not sure who does (or doesn't) control the dos and don'ts.  Is it NASCAR or Daytona International Speedway?  I'm not sure.  The Speedway has many different events, many of which we've gone to, but the 500, sadly, seems to have really got some of the most low-brow crowds attending.  And even the cheap seats ain't cheap for the 500.

Well, it's ok for women too judging from photos of one of the Kardashian clan today with the boobs basically bare.  Anything goes now.  A lot of women celebrities sure can't be accused of wearing clothes.

@Sooner, don't even get me going on that subject.  That's a whole different post, and a whole 'nother rant for another day. In days gone by (long since gone by) women could look and act incredibly $exy and manage to wear all of their clothes.  Showing all of your bits and pieces leaves no mystique, no wonder, no allure.

 

Again, the lack of dignity and decorum today is sad.  Just sad.  LuLu

I asked my husband about this...(he prefers F1 racing).

 

He said you should see what the crowd is like at Talladega!  Lol!

It imo is just another way people these days "don't care" what others think🙄 or don't have respect for others.  I've been to many things, including outside events where I've seen things I just can't imagine the behavior!

 

True story:

last week my son & I went around 7:30 pm to our local WM neighborhood market.  I almost had a heart attack ...this older man (maybe 70) was standing in the aisle looking at cereal and he was dressed only his white underwear briefs -- no pants & tshirt😮

 

No lie, I was so shocked I just stared but my son (never lost for words) said to him: "C'on man get a grip put some pants on have you no dignity or respect for others?". Honestly, I was afraid the guy was going to punch him  he said "mind your own business ###&&&***".  Nope, son went to management --  and no one must have done anything because we saw him walking the store while we were checking out🙄🤨.

 

Here, I've seen people where I just smh!  I guess it's "acceptable" today...ugh...

 

At least you had a exciting race and beautiful weather🙂

@homedecor1, oh Lord!  Whatever happened to the days of "No shirt, no shoes, no service"?  I have to think the man in WM had serious mental issues, and sadly, store management did nothing to alleviate the issue by calling the police.

 

I'm sorry you had to see that.  Too many unsettling things today as society seems to decay and we are expected to accept less from many.  LuLu
