Nose rings

[E-I-E-I-O]

I would definitely rather receive my food from someone with metal hanging from every conceivable part of their body before I would want anything from someone who didn't wash their hands after using the restroom. Yucko!

EXACTLY!

I guess I'm not used to filthy people.

Don't tell me you just went there.........

I don't think I have ever thought of a server as gross. I have been served food by unwashed(body odor) dread locked punks and I still wasn't offended.

I think I draw the line at BO. But I'm sure it has happened and I wasn't aware of it. Who knows what some of those cooks smell like?

You said you were served by people who were unwashed and had body odor, so I guess you brought up filth.

Just breathe. It will be okay.

Cooks sweat like the dickens so some BO funk is bound to be fogging up some food.

How would it offend anyone but my waitress?

Because you're being judgmental. It reflects on those who have peircings.
FTR, only my ears are peirced, but I do have a tat on my ankle.

Maybe that's what gives it flavor.

No wonder I can't cook.

They had moss growing from their hands they were so filthy!!!!!!

The reality is, people judge you based on the way you look. The visual impression you get of people results in some kind of judgment.

People judge me all the time based on the way I look--they think I'm a nice, conservative middle-aged lady. I am definitely middle-aged, nice sometimes, and definitely not politically or socially conservative.

Like most people, I am visually biased in favor of "pretty" or "cute." A friend of mine has pawprints tattooed up her foot and ankle--cute! I don't like tattoos or piercings that I consider unattractive, but I recognize it's a generational thing--what a different generation thinks is cool, I may consider unattractive, and I recognize that when I was 18 in 1974, my parent's generation probably thought a lot of my personal adornment was unattractive, too.

I try not to judge, but it is natural to make some assessments based on appearance.

I think you're right. Humans are judgemental by nature. We judge the people we meet to decide if we will do business with them, be friends with them or allow our children to play at their house. The only difference is the standards we use to judge by.

Sweat is the magic ingredient in the secret sauce.

I've got five tats, one of which is very visible. To touch, or look upon, my tattoo is to touch death itself!!!!!!!!!

For sure!!!!!!!

I think nose rings can be kind of cute but are not professional. I would not have a problem with a watiress having a nose ring, but I would be grossed out if the backing was hanging out of her nose as described in the OP.

I am not a huge fan of "alternative" (non ear) piecings, or even more than about two piercings per ear. I don't find it attractive and frankly it looks uncomfortable. I can understand the comment about the teacher that has a lip or tongue piercing.

One of the things my professors have been emphasizing over and over is that as teachers we must dress professionally. So that means no jeans, no heavy make up, no low cut shirts, etc. Facial piercings are not professional and neither are tattoos. They are a distraction in the classroom. You can be the best teacher in the world, but there are certainly parents that will not want you to teach their children if you have visible alternative piercings or tattoos.

I expect when I go to a professional place of business not to see those things. If I see it, I automatically assume they aren't very professional until they have a chance to prove me wrong. I think it is the Disney in me (read about the Disney look sometime and you will understand.) Like it or not, people judge us on how we look.

Society has conditioned us to associate certain personality traits with certain attire. If you choose to dress in that way, you are choosing to be judged in a certain manner. When I'm not at school, I like to wear my Disney shirts. I know that people will see me and think I am at the oldest a teenager. Heck, I get mistaken for an elementary school student even when I'm dressed professionally! But I've made that conscious decision when I put on that shirt so I'm not offended when people think that way. If you choose to have piercings and tattoos more power to you, but don't be offended when people look at you or treat you a certain way. You knew what society thought about those things when you chose to get them.

Nope, it just reflected on the waitress. If people read more into than there was, that's their issue. I never once said I was anti piercing. I don't know how to say it any more plainly. I was talking specifically about one person.

The problem isn't with me it's with society. It's really sad that there are those in society who automatically judge people because of a certain way they look. I didn't care what society thought of me when I got my tattoos because I got them for me not for anybody else. Shouldn't people be teaching their children to not judge people based upon how they look? My parents sure did and I grew up to be a better person for it.

Not being judgmental of others says more about a person than any body piercing or tattoo ever could. More people should teach their children to be accepting of everyone.

My mom is one of the most religious and conservative people I've ever known. I often wonder what she's going to say when she sees me with a new tattoo or finds out about a new body piercing. The only thing she's ever said was that the skull on my back looks mean. I don't agree with all of her views, but at least she doesn't judge people based on their looks.

My mom was more like Gladys Kravitz well, her hair was at least, but she taught me the same things your mom did
