Everyday when I commute to NYC, I see some of the most amazing things. No - not skyscrapers or famous people but regular people (like you and me, sort of) that have chosen to ignore some really basic, standard rules.
In an attempt to better understand why this happens(or just have a good laugh), I've recently (my commute home today) decided to document this phenomenon. So, armed with my trusty camera phone I have been scouring NYC(on subways, railroads and basically anywhere I have access to people) looking for those doing wrong and snapping photos of them (inconspicuously or so I hope) - to share with all of you. (yes, you're welcome.) So, let's get started.
Example #1 - Man with Insane Ear Hair
Whether it's the man on the train who has decided that ear hair is back in fashion with a vengeance or one of the many men in your life - ear hair this long is NEVER OK. Seriously, this is not a joke.
I saw this man sitting in front of me one day on the railroad and I almost peed my pants (OK, not really, but come on- who has ear hair like this.) WHY does he not see how long the hair is? Does the woman who was sitting with him (I assume he's married to her as they had wedding bands and left together) never say, "Honey, it's time to trim your ear hair." Really, come on people, get it together already. SO NOT COOL. Go out, buy a razor and trim the damn hair. Whew - felt good to get that out of my system.
Example #2 - Big Girl in a Small Dress
This woman (the one in the white dress, black sweater and leggings) was on the subway platform with me one morning and I just had to snap her photo.
Granted this isn't as bad as ear hair man, but it certainly begs the question - WHY?! Why put on clothes that don't fit? Everyone wants to look pretty, but really come on. When there are that many rolls and things sticking out, clearly this isn't a good choice. Now, this isn't the first time anyone has seen this, but yet it never ceases to amaze me. Buy clothes that fit - pretty simple huh?
One more and I'll call it quits for now (promise..)
Example #3 - The Comb-Over
Come on. In this day and age, aren't men past being worried about thinning hair and baldness. OK- I'm sure it's hard to accept and I'm thankful I have enough hair for 50 people, but really it's 2010 - Bald is Beautiful. (so I've heard).
Whether it's male friends, loved ones or very hot celebrities - more men are opting to ditch the toupees, comb-overs and hair plugs for good ol' fashioned baldness. Unfortunately, some people still haven't gotten the memo - case in point.
Come on buddy - just shave it off already. It'll set you free!
OK- I'm done for now. If anyone found this posting offensive, I apologize (not really, just trying to be politically correct). Anywhoo- I promise to continue to post more photos and share more ridiculous finds when I can. In the meantime, feel free to share your photos and comments - just remember that we all have had these moments so the next time you're faced with one, whip out that camera phone, snap a photo and share it with me.
Till the next one....adios!
