10- Our lawn is usually 1-2 week past where it should be for grass cutting.
9- We often leave our garbage cans at the street an extra day beyong trash day (this is my kids’ faukt. actually, so is the above.)
8- I let my grey roots grow in fully visibly before re-coloring. And, I do said coloring myself.
7- We go through the McDonalds drive thru about once every 2 weeks.
6- We drink generic brand soda and use generic paper goods.
5- The whole family shops at Old Navy.
4- I carry a canvas tote bag instead of a purse.
3- We have a mutt instead of an allergyfree designer doodle.
2- Our kids went to daycare instead of preschool.
And the number 1 reason — We vacation in the OBX (and love it).

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!!

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

Understandably the homeowners don't want the detergents/chemicals/oils/chlorine from the swimsuit fabric in
their hot tub - it has nothing to do with being 'rapey' is that even a word?

We have a similar rule for hot tub use in our home. It has nothing to do with sex, its about cleanliness. Have you
ever maintained a hot tub? Unless cared for properly and the water treated, a hot tub is the breeding ground for a
multitude of bacteria and organisms. Those bubbles you see floating on the surface of a hot tub are body oils, lotions,
and other chemicals/detergents that are carried into the bubbling hot water. A showered "naked" person is cleaner
than a person wearing a swimsuit. We have a shower near the hot tub for people to use.

Guests in our home understand our hot tub use policy, and if they feel differently, they are under no
obligation to get in the hot tub. They are welcome to enjoy the pool and sauna wearing their swimsuits.We have
no children living in our home, and 99.9% of our guests are child free as well. This is about adults being adults.

Really? So you sit in your hot tub naked with your naked friends? This is fascinating to me.

What is that you find fascinating about social nudity? Adults being adults

Sometimes I feel like DCUM is so insular. Have you never been to Japan, Korea, or Scandinavia? There's tons of public nudity in their hot tubs/springs and saunas. It's not seen as sexual at all--families are nude in front of each other, colleagues as well. It's just.a.body.

NP. You sound really gross.

NP. You sound really middle American.

What I find beautiful about this whole thread is that people who do things that are considered “trashy” are comfortable going against social norms and do what they feel works for themselves regardless. Stay trashy DCUM!!!!

Or going to Costco? You get good deals there. I don't go to Costco personally but would never pass judgement on somebody who does. Or calling somebody trashy for mowing their own lawn. Have people lost their minds from Covid?

Either a lot of people here have demented notions of what it means to be trashy or I'm way out of touch.

That's the way it is in the alternate universe of the DMV.

No one has explained how drinking a soda out of its container is somehow a sign of low class.

If you have to ask, don't worry about it. NBD.

It is! Use a glass.

You still haven't given any reason why drinking a soda out of its can is an indicator of low class. Soda cans are typically (and maybe even the majority of time) taken on the go, which is a circumstance where pouring the soda into a glass makes no sense.

I'm sitting at my desk in my office, with a can of soda I picked up from the office fridge. What point would there have been to me searching for a glass to pour the soda into?

Your opinion on this is based on nothing, frankly.

Some people get it, some don't. To each her/his/their own.

We empty, scrub clean, and put the chemicals in ours regularly. Why wouldn't you?

We use our hot tub as a fully clothed family, only - very rarely do guests want to use it - but if they do - swimsuits only!

What in the world is going on at your house?

Growing up, I could only envy people who got to go to Cracker Barrel on roadtrips. My mom packed sandwiches and fruit into a cooler and we ate them in the backseat of a no a/c car.

I went there ONCE for a work lunch, and my ass revolted an hour later. Never again.

Thanks for this! I needed a laugh.

I have tattoos and have worked as a stripper. I used to smoke cigarettes.

Of course, when you meet me on the playground and we click enough that you're exchanging numbers to set up a playdate you'd really never guess my past. I look just like any UMC woman around here. And I always wear a full coverage swimsuit to the country club that covers my tattoos and my rocking bod.

I'm not worried about it. I'm just curious as to why people have an issue with drinking out of the can. No one seems to have any explanation.

I met my husband when I first hired him as an escort. We eventually became exclusive and he stopped working as an escort.

I call my golden doodle/Bernese Mountain dog a mutt because she is one.

There really isn't one like pretty much this entire thread. People's definition of trashy here are so random. And don't get me started on the "anything remotely not associated with UMC/wealthy is trashy" sentiment found throughout this thread. Some DCUMers have a huge inferiority complex about social class and they don't realize it makes them look desperate vs. classy.
BTW, From a random google search, the definition of trashy:adjective. tastelessly showy. synonyms: brassy, cheap, flash, flashy, garish, gaudy, gimcrack, loud, meretricious, tacky, tatty, tawdry tasteless.
