What item of clothing is just considered an accessory in other places, but is a necessity where you live?

@EugenieLaBorgia Stops them from blocking traffic at midday, as well, I expect.

@xixgun Oh, they love to huddle en masse!

@EugenieLaBorgia Because it's only en masse that they can overtake. Alone, they would be instantly and appropriately crushed under the bedroom slipper.

@REMsleep It can get cold as a well digger's ass in North Florida, too. The warmest thing I owned was a (1) flannel shirt and a denim jacket.

@xixgun Same. In Southeast costal Texas where I mainly am it gets sometimes wet bitter cold but in my 20s for like3-4 yrs I didn't own even a light jacket. I ran from car to house for that one month or so each yr.

@REMsleep There are times in Central Texas you are convinced in winter the only thing separating Texas from Canada is a barbed wire fence (as the skin on your forehead simply peels away because it's so cold)

@LithiumDrop It's funny, in places where they are necessary (not just cool), no one gets mad if you don't take of your shades when talking to them. In other places (where they are just cool), people will become offended and angry if you don't remove your sunglasses when speaking to them.

@xixgun That's true

@REMsleep Yep. Tourists in Florida wear sandals. Residents wear closed toe shoes to keep the sand out.
