Yeah, mowing in shorts is probably wrong, but wearing jeans in 80 and 90 degree temps is not something I want to do. :)
Yesterday I mowed the lawn wearing shorts and sandals. I know to mow wearing sandals is dangerous, but I'm too lazy to put shoes and socks on. And I say the only times it's wrong to mow wearing shorts is when the underbrush is so full of prickles and thorns as to tear one's lower legs up, in which case to use a tool other than a lawnmower might seem appropriate, and if there's poison ivy to walk thru.

When we first moved to my mom's house, we had a full acre of blackberries in the front "yard". It took 3 years and two controlled fires to get rid of them. We used a brush hog to mow it down. I tried at first with a large sized riding mower and came back looking like I'd spent a day falling in the razor factory.

Wild raspberries and blackberries are the worst for thorns. Each stem has a trillion skinny, very sharp thorns of varying lengths, arranged very closely together. The thorns easily penetrate leather work gloves. I've gotten rid of almost all of the wild raspberries I had in the front yard, but there are a number of plants in the backyard still.

I use the weed eater in sandals and shorts. I slash my legs up like Walmart slashes prices. And yes, I hear about it from my husband.
