MENASHA, WI—Expressing his growing frustration, IT support technician Chris Brennan, 28, told reporters Monday that he is incapable of wearing a button-up shirt and khaki pants without every person he knows asking him why. "If I wear anything at all besides jeans, people are like, 'Where you going? Got a big night out?'" Brennan said. "Or they say, 'Ooh, look who's all dressed up. You have some kind of job interview or something?' I mean, Christ, come on. It's just a shirt with buttons." Brennan conceded that, on a positive note, some of his coworkers were extra nice to him because they assumed he was going to a funeral service.
