How Gross Are You?

seriously 3 times a day would have me constantly sore

RIP jim

i am old

I wish life was always a first date. I've had a few 24 hour periods where we've rolled around 12+ times*... ......

*who knows about the finishing, I count by the starts..

I should start counting that way! (the older i get, the wider the start/finish ratio becomes...)

I like pizza. I really like pizza.

But i don't like pizza 3x/day....

I am hovering around the edges of this thread, trying to decide whether discretion is the better part, etc. Probably I should just go to bed, but thanks everyone for yr entertaining and ultimately reassuring grosseties.

Do it, do it!

ok, gross post coming up, don't look if you don't want to see it

i mean it's not that bad

but it's my chin with stitches sans band-aid

here's the deal

(all of this is providing a buffer zone so people won't have to see the somewhat gross (but not really that bad imo) picture unless they don't want to

want to, i mean.

here's the deal, i have a okcupid date thing tonight (not the girl i'm completely stoked on but someone else fyi tmi) and i've been told that i should just ditch the giant band-aid because it's more distracting than anything and ends up drawing more attention than it would if i'd just go without the band-aid. so i took it off. there was a big bloody scab so i peeled away the dry gooey blood. the problem is that one, the remaining part is still kinda bloody and gross, and two , i had to shave because i looked really shabby in all the wrong ways, but i couldn't shave on the stitched up part so there's a tiny little grove of hair there, just to draw even more attention to it.

so here are two pictures, the normal shot of what it looks like to be sitting somewhat close to me, and the close-up gore cam:

I am trying to be grossed out but all I can do is admire your neck.

and now with band-aid:

i should just wear the band-aid, right?

dammit abbbbbottttt, this is serious business

the bandage looks p silly, like a teenager trying to hide a zit
the other looks like your every day bike scrape

that's what the barista told me yesterday.

If you'll worry less about grossing someone out with the band-aid, wear the band-aid imo. Goal: worry about as few things as possible

I mean you wear the band-aid, "hi i'm z s, soz about the band-aid, this is how I did it..."

a. instant sympathy
b. awesome ice-breaker

sans bandaid works for me, but I am not grossed out

cute as a banged-up bug either way <3

i'm so conflicted!

jeez thanks, btw

:( sorry xp

wear the bandaid

i can relate as i split my chin in the london underground 4 yrs ago and also had to have 3 stitches

You could wear it, but you could also not wear it, TAUTOLogy help

i was really hoping for some consensus. argh. fwiw, i warned the person earlier today that i may be gross and she replied "no worries, i doubt it will gross me out"

i warned the person earlier today that i may be gross

"How not do it", by Z S, 7th ed.

yeah it doesnt look that bad at all! I was expecting goo and blood. But then again I was a bit distracted by Z cuteness too, sry.

look, AA is right. Whatever option worries you least. You are more than yr chin!

oh, either way i'm not going to worry once it get going. i enter a bizarre land of confidence when i'm in high pressure situations, wish i could be that way all the time but it only pops up when i really need it, i guess. but no, the goal is just not to look gross, or to look less gross

your chin is magnificent
do not wear the bandaid

I'd bandage it, but I'm easily grossed out. And always feel like other people are going to be grossed out by my cuts/etc..

I mean you wear the band-aid, "hi i'm z s, soz about the band-aid, this is how I did it..."

a. instant sympathy
b. awesome ice-breaker

I vote this

well, there's also the matter of my gross left hand, but i feel selfish even bringing it up

except that "how i did it" is less "i protected a little old lady from a surprise attack by a bunch of teenage rough housers and took a blow to the chin from a crowbar that was cowardly thrown by the gangs leader" and more "i was drunk and fell on my face"

think i'm gonna go without, and carry a spare bandaid in my pocket. in the event of a severe gross out (doubt it'll happen) i can always be like "the bandaid fell off on the bike ride over)

nothing like completely overthinking everything!

Wear an unfurled turtleneck.

time to bust out the space helmet

Z S if you want, I'll show up and pretend to almost slip on a banana peel but at the last second you dive and fling the banana peel away

hahahahaha

or just poll her at the restaurant: "with the bandaid" (holds up bandaid to chin) or "without"? and she will say "I don't care kiss me you fool" etc. I REST MY CASE.

^that's actually a good idea

anyway you're nowhere near as gross as me: I had to buy ringworm cream AND athlete's foot cream. For myself. You sir, are dating. Which puts you firmly in the W column :)

go with a spongebob squarepants band-aid. then go to the bathroom 20 minutes into the date and switch it for a hello kitty bandaid. refuse to acknowledge the switch.

ooh that's good.

Put a fake scab on the other side, then 1/2 hr in just rip off the fake one without any warning

Tell her you think she should kiss it better!

...ew wait no maybe not.

eww

I mean ZS is cuet but that's just a bridge too far
