You look ridiculous

Post by GatewaySnayke »

One thing I've noticed since starting college three years ago was that girls walk and talk on their cellphones A LOT. And here's the thing: you look like a d-bag when you do it. Girls, NOBODY is impressed that you can multitask. Nobody is impressed that you have people to talk to when you're walking to classes. What is the idea behind this? I have literally watched girls step out of their apartments and THEN dial a number. Or they'll be standing at the cross walk and decide to make a call.

For god's sake...WHY?

I agree.

Other d-bagish college trends:
- popped collars
- sunglasses upside down on the back of the head
- those plaid golf shorts

If you (you being a member of the college demographic, not you, Snayke) take part in any of these fashion 'trends,' I hold a bias against you from the second I see you.

I've seen the others and have frowned upon them in kind, but sunglasses on the back of the head? I've never seen that one.

This is why fashion trends are stupid.

I believe it's so that predators can't tell where the real eyes are.

Similarly, I like how you'll be in a clubby kind of bar and notice that almost all the guys are wearing more or less the same shirt and it invariably has vertical stripes. It's zebra like, and I think designed to prevent women from discerning which d-bag sexually assaulted her.

Yeah; imagine someone wearing sunglasses normally... now, if you were to keep them on and rotate them over the surface of your head, they eventually wind up upside down on the back of your head, while still resting on your ears.

A guy I work with does it (he also rolls up his sleeves of his shirt [something else I hate, by the way] because he's egotistical); I also see people walking around campus doing the same thing.

I do that at work because it's comfortable in the summer.

I walk and talk with my cell phone to avoid interacting with people. Isn't that why everyone does it?
