Hm, is it abnormal to be shirtless in public where you live? I don't really get why the characters made such a big deal out of it.
Some, yes. In our country it's illegal to take your shirt off in public. Especially at curfew and where children are present. Nobody wants to see them pecs.
...Wow. Growing up I had a hard time finding anyone with a shirt *on* most summers.
