Burt was definitely not a fashion plate, in any way, shape or form, but there were a few things he was picky about when it came to going on a date with Carole.
Number one, the truck must be spotless. His truck wasn't nearly as fancy as Kurt's was, but it was cleaner than it was during his regular daily life. He'd detail cleaned it after work.
Number two, even though he was still dressed in his normal sort of clothes, all of the clothes he wore were his newer and less worn ones, even to the ball cap he wore.
Number three, shower and shave after work, which was pretty normal...but even more so on date night.
And, finally, when he pulled up to her house, he stopped the car, turned off the ignition, and went up and knocked on the door. Honking the horn was for teenagers. And Burt would be a gentleman.
So Burt knocked on the door, looking up towards the rain gutters absently as he waited for Carole to answer. He wondered if he should come over sometime to clean them out for her...
