Man, my teeth are fucked by coffee too. Ugh. I should get them seen to, but I dread to think how much the dental bill would be...

Teeth are a hassle.

i find it odd that the oddity thread is all about fashion, a subject i don't give a fuck about. im not protesting-- it's just... odd.

i've thought about getting veneers but i'll probably just get my teeth whitened and see how they look from there.

gmku · 08.20.2008, 11:42 AM

The oddest things to me seem to be about what people oddly choose to wear.

I'm shallow that way, but I blame it on my men's clothing retail background (worked in a dept store in college).

But I'm not limited to that. Many other things seem odd. Those are just the most immediately obvious to me.

i find it odd when obese people decide to wear shorts and show off their pasty cellulite and varicose veins and fat rolls.

Couples that sit in a restaurant and then never speak to one another. I can't decide if that's odd, or just plain depressing.

Yeah, but have a dentist do it. I don't have a lot of confidence in the off-the-shelf products.

Yeah. I see that a lot. The dude will stare past her off into space--or just as bad, up at the sports TV screen. The girl will sit there staring at him, waiting for him to look at her. It is sad.

I'll get mine done too (eventually...), but it never lasts that long with me, alas.

Another oddity - people who wear sunglasses whilst on the Underground/metro...only a few cool people can get away with that power move. Everyone else should pack it in. Now!

oh i do that. i wear them everywhere though.

Speaking of restaurants....

TVs in restaurants. A big pet peeve of mine. Especially when the volume is so loud you can't have a conversation with the person sitting across from you.

There is that. There should be a balance, though. Nice conversation. My big rule about eating anywhere together, restaurant or at home, is that we never talk about anything unpleasant or difficult. Totally wrong.

i love sitting at the bar and watching the football (soccer for you dullards) game though. but yeah in a restaurant, televisions don't belong.

even if most of them wearing them from time to time but I think shorts on men arent good looking in general.
even if its shit-hot I would never wear a short, except for swimming

gmku · 08.20.2008, 11:49 AM

I feel really silly when I wear sunglasses anywhere but out in the sun. I've tried it, and I think people are thinking, Why are you trying to look cool?

God, I couldn't eat in a restaurant with a TV in it, especially if the sound is turned up. That'd drive me insane.

Music's OK, but nothing to obtrusive. Some Enya or something.

Cantankerous · 08.20.2008, 11:50 AM

i like wearing them because it's dimmer and i can see better.

I used to feel that way, but this summer I bought some really comfortable linen shorts. They're appropriate for some occasions. For example, we met some friends at a beach house and went for a boat ride and had dinner at a seaside restaurant. Totally comfortable and easy. And allowed me to blend in as everyone else was in shorts.

If I see someone wearing sunglasses when it's not sunny, I immediately assume they have a lazy eye.
