> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > I’ve always called them tops with the tit compartment. It is not unusual to see me at Macy’s (not putting the star there) grimacing at the selection, asking “Why do they make shirts with tit compartments?” You’re so insensitive. Think of all those post-Katrina women who would have killed for a tit compartment shirt instead of wearing trash bags. How could you!??! ---

> [@Slithy\_Tove](#): > > Please persuade me otherwise: > > 1. All people, even obese people who wear tight t-shirts that say “chase me catch me fuck me,” are entitled to dignity. Of course they do, until they leave the house. They’re subjecting themselves to whatever fresh hell they catch for their clothing options. They might have woken up with dignity, but the minute they looked at themselves wearing those clothes in the mirror, sized themselves up against societal norms, and said to themselves, “Lookin good, there, sparky,” they Are you trying to tell us those people are dressing in anything near a “dignified” manner? Blame Ms. Upgrade’s wardrobe on delusion, or an extremely over-inflated ego, but “dignified” people don’t tend to pour themselves into clothes that ill-fitting (or self-aggrandizing). Unless, of course, they really don’t give a shit whatsoever, in which case, they don’t care if we’re laughing… Then again, everything is relative, so perhaps that does pass for “dignified” in whatever armpit of society those folks come from. If that’s the case, I’d hate to see the _real_ fashion misfits. ---

I’ve got to thank this thread for showing me [peopleofwalmart.com](http://peopleofwalmart.com) . Also, I partially agree with \*\*Stoid \*\*in that it is tasteless and mildly cruel to put up random people’s pictures on the internet to make fun of, but I disagree with her in that some of those pictures are, unfortunately, hilarious. On a final note, I would not object to more pictures of \*\*Guinastasia \*\*making their way onto the thread. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/because-you-have-the-technology-does-not-make-it-ok-to-use-it-asshole/543036.md?page=15)
