Edit: What do you judge them for?

      I like Pit Vipers, not gonna wear them in public (not my style) but they’re cool.
      In a prior job I worked in quality assurance, we didn’t have dedicated safety people in site so QA handled that too.
      We could not get people to wear PPE on their own on the regular, especially ear pro. We’d have people bucking rivets and I’d walk up and hand then ear plugs (I always carried spare boxes of disposables in my pockets.)
      Anyway, Pit Viper started making Z87 rated glasses. I bought a pair, started wearing them, people dug them. I contacted Pit Viper and they gave me a discount code for the site. Pit Viper eye pro exploded on site. At about the same time blue tooth ear pro was taking off. So people were wearing all their PPE.

      My site manager didn’t like the look or the Bluetooth ear muffs and told QA to tell people they couldn’t wear them. I said, “Motherfucker, they’re finally wearing their PPE and you want me to stop them because you think it looks unprofessional?! You wear white oakleys in public. No.”
      This is the same boss that wrote me up for bullying him twice. Anyways, the Pit Vipers reminded me of that.
