Loved-Ones, Please Speak Up
We see them everywhere we go. Maybe you see her at the mall, her bangs feathered 4 inches high. We all have seen him as we drive, mowing his lawn in shorts and black dress socks. I most recently saw her at the Texas Rangers game on June 30th. Her condition was difficult to tastefully explain, so I will show you her picture, but be warned, it's not for the easily nauseated. Can anyone say, "OUCH!"?
Who are these people that make such seemingly horrible decisions concerning their appearance? They are our fathers, our aunts, our grandparents and our friends. They may even be us!
Some have already combined to help the fashionless, but how many people can "What Not to Wear" reach? Seriously, I can't watch that dude for very long... he bugs!
Those of us who recognize these problems when we see them, do we have a responsibility to say something? Do we owe it to society to bring the wayward back into the fashion fold? Ofcourse we DON'T! If these people were to hear that their bangs, or their socks were 25 years outdated they might be offended or have their feelings hurt. If they were to hear from a total stranger that their bite was so far up their butt-crack that their spine was visible, they might become embarrassed. So, since a stranger can't point these things out, who has the ability to do so? Should the fashion offenders even be told? Should they be left alone to dress how they choose?
I believe that if these people are to be helped, if we are to be helped, only those closest to the problem can help it. If the offender is actually my father and I do see the offence, I alone am responsible to help. If your aunt feathers her 4 inch bangs, only you can help change the behavior. If you are the person in the red shirt in the above picture, you should have said something before the game, no, you should have said something before you left the house. You owe it to the rows of people sitting behind you, they don't want to see that- You Should Have Said Something! You owe it to the offender, save them some embarrassment- You Should Have Said Something! You owe it to yourself, you love these people, be bold, they love you too, they will listen to you. We will listen to you.
PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!

Did you at least make loud comments about crack all night? Did you at least try to say them loud enough where this offender could hear? Did you at least tap her on the shoulder and ask...."scuse me, but what are you going as?

Just curious.

That's disgusting looking. I feel embaressed for the lady.She obviously doesn't have a full length mirror at home that she can use to glance at her backside. What a shame.

That's just nasty. But man did I laugh...that comment about the bite so bad you can see your spinal column. Oh man, I'm crying over here.

Dear Mr. a*@,
I did not comment about "Crack", or talk loudly about the offender, or even talk to her about the offence...nay, I didn't want to be that close. Luckily, I was seated about 25 feet to the right of the offenders bite and she was out of my view point, as the baseball game was to my right... thankfully.
