People who wear the t-shirt of the race they just entered, DURING the race. This is just bad form and is similar to those who attend a concert, buy a ridculously overpriced concert t-shirt, and then put it on for the duration of the show.
I guess the exception would be little kids, because they always seem to want to wear the race shirt in that race. Parents need to be vigilant and correct this behavior.

Hahahaha genius. I might even have to buy that
I love all the poor people in this thread who are jealous of rich people. Convincing themselves that rich people dressing like rich people is for some reason moronic.

It's a JD get it right.
(Overweight High School) coaches that wear running gear (running pants/sporthills) but don't run or warm up with their team. It's like they're playing "dress up" .

Neither JDs or MBAs that are worth their salt hang out at the mall.

Ha ha, yeah...they usually send their wives who've finally earned that highly coveted "Mrs" degree to buy their sport shirts, khakis and polos for them! Fortunately the wives have the bilingual nanny at home to watch the kids and ensure future intellectual and material dominance for the family.
I had no idea...
Question: Why is it frowned upon to have a maid/nanny? I really don't see what the issue is. Its no different than paying for grounds maintenance.
To further add to the original topic, tennis/running shoes worn casually. If they're not converse or similar, you look like an idiot.

I don't think the idea itself is necessarily frowned upon...I think it's more the people who tend to abuse it or treat it too much like other out-sourced services. I see a lot of people who have developed such an "out-source mentality" that they feel they are doing their job if they hire the best to do everything, including raise their kids. In a lot of cases, these are parents who think as long as they are paying for the best (nanny, daycare, private school, etc) they are doing the job, not realizing the hands on approach never goes away and even office dads need to be engaged when they are home. I know a lot of people in the corporate world (in which I live) who view having kids as one of many "check the box" items on their list of things to do in order to be a "success" (sorry for all the quotations, bad habit), just like getting the MBA, buying a house, running a marathon, getting the entry level 3-series beemer. My statement was not to villify the act of having a nanny, but to villify a genre of people I see all too often with what I perceive (just my opinion) as misplaced priorities and motives.
Side note - 100% agree with the wearing tennis/running shoes out in public. The worst possible option are the all white leather cross-trainers bought at Sports Authority. Many 30 something dads replaced these with the aforementioned Crocs, but you still see them out there.
Two words: Tap Out
I know it is just 1 word on the clothing.
