This 'No Scrubs' tee by Civil Clothing warns deadbeat guys to walk on by because you're not interested in all they don't have to offer. For those of you who were around in the 90s, this t-shirt will probably make you feel nostalgic (and old).
Though it was released in 1999, TLC's 'No Scrubs' remains one of the best female-empowerment songs of all time. The all-girl group simply put it best when they sang, "I don't want no scrub/A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me/Hanging out the passenger side/ Of his best friend's ride/Trying to holler at me."
I have to admit, no-good guys definitely have their appeal -- especially if they play the guitar -- but it only takes a few of them to realize that they're not worth your time. Abide by the eternal words by TLC and proudly proclaim that no, actually, you don't want no scrubs in your life.
