Helmets: You know, for the kids.
Houstonist has a friend who works in the medical business. This friend once told us that anytime you see a person wearing scrubs in public it is because that person whats you to know that they work in medicine. See, our friend is required to change out of his scrubs before he leaves work, because the nature of his work means that his scrubs frequently come into contact with biohazardous material. Thus, anyone wearing scrubs outside of work is either lazy, biohazardous themselves, or wearing a fresh clean crisp set of scrubs in order to show off. Since then, "scrubolepsy" has been a pet peeve of ours.
It's a pet peeve we share with Lords of the Loop. Along with people who wear bluetooth headsets. All. The. Time. People who are so important they can't possibly miss a phone call, even while they're having lunch at Ruby Tuesdays.
We're not entirely sure what this collaborative blog is about, other that life ITL, but snark is a strong point of the Lords. A word to the business owners of Houston: do not piss these guys off. From a post titled Fuck You Its Star Pizza:
The guy at the To Go counter has a bear trap for a grill and speaks in asshole.
And regarding Cahill's on Durham:
Its unexplainable lack of seating and unplugged refrigerator scent make Cahill's the perfect place to ditch someone you hate.

Those folks wearing scrubs outside of work may be a Houstonisto & a doctor friend adorned in such a manner so as to get preferential treatment at spendy car dealerships when seeking a test drive.
So, if you see me or DFT on an afternoon test drive, I'm the vascular surgeon and he really is an anesthesiologist.
Where I live, in Georgia (we're misplaced Houstonians...my husband's in the Army), only daycare workers and vet techs wear scrubs outside of work. I NEVER see anyone else wearing scrubs oustide of work.
A pack of 3 nurses where wearing scrubs at Cecil's on a friday night. A carload of 5 nurses in scrubs where following one of the local drunks into the parking lot. She (local drunk) didnt quite make the turn so she put it in reverse and banged into the car full of scrubs. It was an amusing incident to watch on the Cecil's porch patio.
Scrubs came in for about 5 seconds to get their friend and to leave upset to a different establishment. That local drunk could have saved me from getting a late case of the flu.
If people wearing scrubs in public want to show off the fact that they're doctors, what does that say about the River Oaks women who wander around wearing exercise clothing even though they clearly don't exercise?
Thanks for the nod kind sir. Keep reading.
It seems more of a health issue jim. but i guess if you like looking at dudes in scrubs i gotta say that I like looking at river oaks women. we clearly have different tastes
I would rather not look at anyone in scrubs unless they're performing surgery on me (in which case I hope I would be knocked out). Unfortunately, the RO women I'm talking about are the ones neither of us would want to look at.
