In what ways would you be considered trashy?

Bless your heart you have confidence few people have anymore.

I for one has my nipples pierced at age 48, and don’t often wear a bra,
the piercing clearly visible under many of my outfits including swimwear.
I prefer to drive my Subaru Outback to your BMW. Our other car is a Jeep Wrangler
Panties are no longer my thing, commando is far more comfortable.
DH and I sleep naked.
We have a hot tub in our yard and don’t allow bathing suits to be worn in it.

People can think what they want about us, but we are happy and will continue
to do our own thing, whether you or others think it’s trashy or not!!

Not getting mani pedis is not trashy. Quote the opposite, actually.

No honey. Getting mani/pedis is trashy

I'm genuinely curious--what is the non-trashy way to wear your nails? Unpolished? Clear? I do my own nails but find it funny that getting a manicure is trashy.

It’s not trashy. And even if some judgmental internet stranger thinks it is - do you really care?

Agree but I think it's deliberate, basically a humble brag.

Speaking for myself, I was being honest in what makes me feel trashy. Everything is relative and we can only talk from our own experience. I am grateful that DMV is overall tasteful. You are probably right that compared to a trailer park in rural Mississippi or the Louisianan bayou, these are not terribly trashy examples.

I have seen some of those alarming photos of Walmart shoppers in rural America - it is mind boggling and heart breaking to me that some people go out dressed like that … e.g., obese men with beards in high heels and tankini mini skirts that let their sagging spare tires spillover onto the cart handles, morbidly obese mothers in wireless bras and skimpy shorts with no underwear and their obese kids waddling around them grabbing junk food and toys, teenagers covered top to bottom in tattoos with misspelled words and multiple piercings in every orifice. Many of them are probably very nice people but it is just very far removed from my experience of life and hard to relate to.

Walmart gets something like 265 million customer visits per week, if you count all of its locations around the world. The vast, vast, majority of those customers are normal middle- and lower-income people buying things like groceries and toothpaste.

If you think the “people of Walmart” pictures are in any way representative of the average Walmart shopper, well, that’s more of a reflection of your own provincialism and parochialism.

You are way over generalizing my comment. I said I had seen some photos of Walmart shoppers in rural America but that every Walmart shopper dresses is such ludicrous ways. Obviously, they are attention seekers in outlandish attire. I was acknowledging there are wildly different standards for less than ideal behavior but that we draw from our own experiences. I don’t shop at Walmart (not due to snobbery but because there are none near us).

My main point was that

You force your guests to be naked in your hot tub? How very rapey of you.

Ok, so:

A) You are actually agreeing with the person you are responding to, and

B) Getting a manicure or pedicure is not trashy. And I say this as someone who only does her own mani/pedis at home.

We have an above ground pool

I have bunions and wear flip flops a good chunk of the year. Sans pedicure.

Almost all of my furniture is from FB marketplace. People would probably judge that as being trashy instead of buying new but it’s saved tons of money.

Poor reading comprehension is utterly trashy. As is addressing internet strangers as “honey.”
