ETA: to reiterate, this is only directed at the nasty, sneery, (low self esteem, not clever or talented enough to do their job without their lipstick on and an ugly pair of “pants” and a naice blouse on. But I’d never say anything so mean), judgemental fuckers with superiority complexes who genuinely believe what they wear make them better and more productive members of society. It isn’t about how someone chooses to present themselves.
I’m not sure I’ve ever been on a post where I’d genuinely rather be run over 38 times by a train whilst being simultaneously tasered for 3 hours than have to spend even 2 minutes in the company of so many godawful posters. I am cringing at so many of these posts! So many people attempting to convince others that they’re something that they’re clearly not, because nobody who is truly comfortable about who they are would genuinely believe the tripe they’re coming out with - so insecure about their worth and ability to do their job that they think if they dare to wear a T-shirt to work then their intellect and ability to do their job goes down the toilet. I’m so sorry that so many of you believe that you can only manage to be productive and do your job properly if you’re wearing the “correct” uniform. Most people are good at their jobs because, well, they’re good at their jobs, and don’t feel their self worth and being successful are wrapped up in how they look, rather than in their ability.
I genuinely feel a little bit sad for you. Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look nice, enjoying doing your make up etc etc, but there is absolutely everything wrong in looking down on those who choose not to and thinking you can’t do your job unless you’re wearing a “pretty” dress and some heels (“oh no, did you see her with her pink hair? And those awful clunky DM sandals?! And shudder a tattoo!”), it’s a shame you feel that way about yourselves. Are you saying you only got where you are because of how you look, and that if you’d worn a band T-shirt or a pair of jeans you’d not have been able to do your job because you’d be so unproductive, as some of you have said? What jobs do you do where how you look counts for more than talent, intellect, creativity, ability? Actually, no, don’t answer. The irony though, of all those harping on about crazy, unnatural hair colours and tattoos, yet drawing eyebrows on with a black sharpie and colouring in your artificially inflated lips with a coloured crayon. Yes, that’s not bizarre at all. The fact that when you take all that make up off you resemble an entirely different person, but somebody with orange hair is the “odd” one? These are the things I’m hearing on here. Your attitudes are vile, tbh. The trashy tackiness is laughable, because you’re really not sounding like you think you are - there is nothing more common than trying so hard to try and elevate yourself with attempts at snobbiness. Those who have class, and also who are secure in themselves don’t need to try so hard. It’s effortless. Much like the nice guy who has to say he’s a nice guy. And if you genuinely believe your career and self worth are so innately tied into your appearance, then I feel bad for you. Just imagine you had an accident, or an illness, and for whatever reason you weren’t able to present yourself in this way then what on earth would you do? How would you cope? How would you ever be able to be a productive member of the job force?
And remember, people can take their “ugly” band t shirts off, but you’ll never be able to rid yourselves of your ugly attitude or personalities. And I hope you never break your ankle and have to wear a giant ugly boot and baggy joggers for 4 months and watch your own productivity disappearing down the loo right in front of you, because you couldn’t possibly be good enough at your job on your merits alone, and with such little effort in your appearance <tut, just look at the state of you> and end up on the arse end of nasty comments from people such as yourself.
