At first glance, Some People Push the Limits of Equal Opportunity looks like a clever play on words. Read it twice, though, and the sarcasm becomes obvious. This shirt is aimed at those moments when competence seems to have taken a back seat—whether it's the employee who spends more time on their phone than helping customers, the coworker who continually creates extra work for everyone else, or the person who somehow keeps failing upward. It's a tongue-in-cheek jab at lowered standards, misplaced priorities, and the growing feeling that simply showing up is sometimes treated as enough. The design doesn't point fingers at any specific group; instead, it pokes fun at the everyday frustration of watching responsibility, accountability, and craftsmanship become increasingly rare. It's made for people who appreciate dry humor, sharp observations, and conversations that begin with a second look.
Printed on durable medium-weight cotton with a classic unisex fit, this shirt is built for everyday comfort and long-lasting wear.

Proudly made in America unless fulfilled through one of our trusted EU production partners, it's designed to hold up just as well as the standards it's talking about.
