The Working Hard Hardly Working Hard While Working tee from Unethical Threads files your honest answer on the back of the shirt, where nobody reads it until you've already walked away. Blank front. Two options crossed out in red strikethrough, one left standing.
Why is the front blank?
Because the front is where the question happens. "Working hard or hardly working?" is something people say to your face, and this shirt gives them exactly nothing to read.
The actual answer sits on the back: WORKING HARD crossed out in red, HARDLY WORKING crossed out in red, HARD WHILE WORKING left alone. Someone asks, you nod, you leave, and they get the punchline about three seconds after the window for a follow-up has closed. A funny work shirt that works best in reverse.
- Heavyweight cotton. The kind of fabric that commits to something, unlike the first two lines on this shirt.
- Unisex relaxed fit, S through 4XL.
- Crew neck. Nothing fancy.
- DTG printed for color that doesn't quit. Red stays red.
- Available in black or white. Red strikethroughs on both, text in the contrast color.
Is this a gift or a cry for help?
Both, probably. This is the gag gift you bring to a birthday, hand off in a group chat, or wrap for Secret Santa with friends (not the office exchange, obviously).
It's an innuendo shirt about work that is very specifically not for work. Bar, weekend, couch, any Monday you called in. If someone in your life answers "living the dream" every morning with a straight face, this is their shirt. A front print version of the same design also exists if you prefer the punchline visible from the front.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the back of this shirt say?
Three lines stacked: WORKING HARD with a red line through it, HARDLY WORKING with a red line through it, and HARD WHILE WORKING with no line through it. Two crossed out, one standing.
Is the front blank?
Yes. The design is on the back only. The front is completely blank.
Can I wear this to work?
You should not wear this to work. It's a joke about work that belongs at the bar, on the weekend, or on your couch. Not in the building.
What colors does this come in?
Black or white. Both have red strikethroughs. The text prints in the contrast color.
Is there a front print version?
Yes. Same design, printed on the front instead of the back. Same shirt, different placement.
