I am appalled and sickened by the idiots with piercings, tattoos and clown-colored hair. I didn’t realize how many Generation Whatever Dolts there were until I took a part time job (post-retirement) and found that half the workers are “tattooed circus freaks”.
Sad to say I spent part of Independence Day with a tattooed cousin of mine.....and his tattooed second wife. They are half my age, thus the disconnect in what we find to be acceptable behavior. My husband and I discussed our dismay at the stupidity of it all on our drive home last night. That level of tattoo coverage is ridiculous, and career-limiting. Just creepy and gross.
The thing is being a freak is the new normal, and there is a certain conformity to it.
I mean, I always considered that I marched to the beat of a different drum, myself. But my motivation wasn’t to conform.
