# "Functionally Pessimistic" T-Shirt — Old Man Snark
---
Not a negative person. Never that. Just a realist with an excellent track record of being right about how things are probably going to go.
The functional pessimist is, in many ways, the most useful person in any room. He's already identified what's going to go wrong, planned for it, and quietly prepared a contingency while everyone else was still being optimistic. He gets things done. He just doesn't expect them to work. And when they don't — and they often don't — he is neither surprised nor particularly upset. Just noted.
FUNCTIONALLY PESSIMISTIC. Stacked, centred typography in the OMS monochrome palette. Sand tones on black. Deadpan by design. The kind of slogan that doesn't announce itself loudly because it doesn't need to. The man wearing it already knew this moment was coming and dressed accordingly.
Made from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton — lightweight, breathable, and reliable. Unlike most things.
Retail fit, crew neck, ribbed collar, shoulder tape, tear-away label. Layers easily under a jacket. Pairs effortlessly with low expectations and a strong coffee.
For the person who:
› Troubleshoots before breakfast
› Has a Plan B before Plan A has been properly explained
› Considers "I told you so" a form of closure
An excellent gift. He probably assumed it wouldn't arrive on time.

Wash cold. Tumble dry low. Results may vary. He already knew that.
