Name the right job
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a postal worker will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
The 2 designs here all name the same job, so pick on how loud the artwork is. Anything worn to work should read cleanly at a glance rather than crowd the chest with a second punchline.
Who it is for
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
A job the public has daily opinions about
Few jobs put someone in front of that many members of the public with that little authority. Everyone has a parcel story, and the carrier has heard it.
The dog joke is ancient and still true, which is why it survives.
Weather is the other constant. The route happens regardless of what the sky is doing.
Sizing and ordering
- Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
- Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
- Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.
If it is not quite the right job
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Producer, Programmer and Psychologist each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
