Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

Suits are weird, they feel old and out dated, like cosplaying a 20th century business boy in grandpa's pajamas. Multiple layered long sleeve shirt, jacket, and trousers doesn't make sense for the majority of weather in most cities or even more if you're inside temp controlled buildings more often. In the winter you want something heavier like denim or fleece lined or water resistant, and in the summer you want breathable fabric, wicking, single layer, shorts, etc. Overcoats don't need backup jackets, and some of the people who did wear it like a uniform last century weren't people you'd want to emulate.

If you want to be a member of Busines Suit Club you have to wear a suit. Membership has some benefits but the downside is less personal comfort.
