How Gross Are You?

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 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

1st pic: your hairline is so awesome I didn't even notice your chin

2nd pic: I'd probably wear the bandage but it's not seriously gross or anything as it is. Key thing is that it's temporary; if your date is freaked out about it band-aid on or off, red flag. If not, good portent.

3rd pic: that's how i look after most of my dates......

well, it didn't go well at all, but nothing to do with the grossness!

:(

eh, it's ok, the girl i'm REALLY excited about is tomorrow afternoon! i feel like such a jerk doing the multiple dates in a week thing but it's online dating and almost everyone seems to have severe problems when you meet them in person, so it seems good to have a backup plan

iirc it's why you jump with 2 parachutes

you have nothing to worry about
think about whether or not you like them

for real

oh, i'm not worrying at all. i'm not excited at all about either of the people i saw this week, although they were both nice enough. i have high hopes for tomorrow, but if that doesn't work, whatever. i never ever want to settle

I'm not too gross, I only pick my own nose.

i feel like such a jerk doing the multiple dates in a week thing

I have this issue with a guy Ive met on okc who I really like (and he see,s to like me) but hes all "oh I already had a succesful date w/someone else this week I feel like a heel so I cant say this'd be a date" which is soooo frustrating cos I like him a lot, but this is more for the okc thread anyway carry on chaps

I had to buy ... athlete's foot cream

the other week I diagnosed myself w/athlete's foot so I bought the cream and used it for a week and it made no real difference, so then I had to wonder "ok, did I misdiagnose myself or do I actually have the worst athlete's foot in the history of feet and should go to the doctor", but I decided to assume the former since that didn't involve doing anything

(foot is mostly fine now without me doing anything)

but I am p. gross in general and also my washbag is a graveyard for half-used tubes of cream of varying ages against various embarrassing conditions so I hope nobody ever looks in it

PS good luck w/today's date Z S

tell her we said hi

yeah good luck Z S!!

B-)

Too late, but it'd be a shame to waste an opinion: Band aid is a good look except that the middle padding part stands out. For aesthetics and healing, may I recommend a hydrocolloid bandage - no contrasting pad, heals much more quickly and with less scarring, and available at your local chain drug store.

I had a bump on my back that I squeezed and this stuff with the consistency of soft cheese came out. I'm guessing it was a blackhead, so gross.

was the cheese white, or yellow? smelly or not smelly?

gross is all in the details, milo :)

Possibly a sebaceous cyst! Those are exciting.
