What is with all these people recommending flat caps? Those are the quintessential old man hat.

Goddammit, Tiggum, stop making me agree with you.

Poop dood put into words the vibe I've gotten from bigglesSWE's posts and pics.

Not to mention that he's posting from his gramma's house.


Since this will piss off Tiggum:

Biggles looks like his clothes smell like a combination of sour clothes left in the washer overnight before being dried, clove cigarettes, spilled vape juice, totino's pizza rolls and ranch, and stale tooth plaque.

He looks like he has tried getting into a restaurant under the name Declan MacManus by showing them a copy of My Aim Is True and saying he'd been sick recently.

When he farts, he ducks his head under his long coat and inhales deeply.

He looks like the kind of guy who has his own personal theory of the secret political system in the show Lazytown, knows the name of all of the VAs in both My Little Pony and the actors in Doctor Who, and rants about the Big Bang Theory being a nerd minstrel show, yet secretly watches every episode.

He looks like he knows every step to 'properly' prepare absinthe for drinking, and brings a bottle and all the implements in a wood box to every party he goes to.

(Not saying he does any of those things, but he looks like the kind of guy who would)

Tbh, the hat doesn't look terrible but it also doesn't look good. The unevenly rolled-up but still baggy jeans gently caress up the outfit way, way more than the hat.

Right, it's the kind of hat you can like, get away with wearing when it's like snowing and you're outdoors or stuff like that, but for god's sake, keep it strictly utilitarian. The pants however will NEVER go with that sort of look. There's nothing wrong with jeans, but they sure aren't the look that coat gloves and scarf combo are trying for.

Also agreed to keep the beard and shave the neck.


And that's my fashion minute for the month used up.

Here's the deciding vote! With or without hat! Call in now!


As someone who started going bald at 18, I know it's hard to accept but trust me, shaving your hair off and just owning the fact you're balding is a great thing... Growing it out more isn't the answer.

Turf the hat away, go buy a beanie/toque/whatever the gently caress you wanna call it and along with the haircut you'll look a lot better.

Yep, I went all scorched earth on my head as a pre-emptive strike against nature in my mid 20s. I've been cue-ball bald for almost 20 years.

On the plus side, having a shaved head feels great. I tried shaving my head for kicks when I was teaching English to monks as a volunteer while studying abroad in India, and it felt wonderful to just run my fingers across my fuzzy scalp. It's basically a go-to hand massager on your head!

I know you're being flippant, but neckbeards really do feel gross. It has that prickly new beard hair feel without the benefits of growing a proper beard. The shaved head feeling is definitely superior.

If you're brushing your hair forward of the point it exits on your scalp then that's the time. Own it, shave that wispy mess off.

Working as a cook, I hear plenty. One day we were running Graduation numbers, which is about 1200 people between noon and 8 pm. One of the menu items was asiago ravioli in a gorgonzola sauce.

Waiter: Can you do the ravioli without cheese?
Exec. Chef: What? No. It's in it and on it. It's cheese no matter what you want.
Waiter: okay.
*Front of House Manager comes back while we're getting pounded*
FoH: Hey, <waiter> wants to know if you can do the ravioli without cheese.
Chef: No, it's in it and on it, there's no way.
*Ticket comes in for ravioli without cheese. Chef call the FoH manager over.*
Chef: Send him home right now.

Kid missed out on the occasion where our servers could get close to $1000 in one night.

Food service is prime for stupid poo poo. I know a guy who worked a kitchen and got a request for "Steak with absolutely no grill marks."

We sat next to a guy at a local breakfast/brunch place who made a stink about his packed poached eggs' yolks not being pale enough. God dammit rich golden yolks are the best what the gently caress is wrong with you old man?

-Bar manager yelling at us and passive-aggressively throwing and order around because he insists there shouldn't be any pink in a med-well while the food temperatures poster is hanging right next to him.

-"Tacos for lunch?!" *makes disgusted face with tongue sticking out* "That's dinner food!"

-"I need refills for the alumni conference breakfast"
"That event ended two hours ago, it's 1pm"
Turns out they didn't get the alumni to leave, and people who went to the lunch service said they wanted breakfast food. College alumni caterings are genuinely the worst.

-"I applied for this kitchen job because I wanted something easier than my desk job"

-Working in a bakery and having the hicks complaining we don't sell brand-name white bread.

-Everybody gets mad about the gluten thing, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the carb fad.

At Jimmy Johns, subs 1-6 get the bread insides scooped out. Customer started yelling "I can't eat that sandwich! My religion doesn't allow me to eat sandwiches with the bread taken out!" This was end of day so his original sub got thrown out, so if his religion as anti-waste he failed miserably at it.

Reminds me of back in college when I dramatically changed my look overnight because I could. I went from longish curlyish brown hair and full beard to stubble and short spikey blonde hair. I was hanging out with some friends and then after like ten minutes with one the penny dropped and he realized it was me. The first reaction from him? "Oh man, you could have just KILLED somebody and gotten away with it!"
