As we wind down No Shave November at work we thought it would be fun if we all just sported the stache for a day before Thanksgiving break.
Boy was that a mistake.
I'd classify myself as a pretty observant guy, so I don't think it's just me being paranoid. People averted eyes way more quickly, and were less friendly. Younger girls practially ran away.
Pre-stache semi strangers actually complimented me on my newly budding goatee during the month, noticing and acknowledging the change. Today I was bane.
I made eye contact with the lady at the dept store and I could see her quick look down at my stache and back up. Her chipper attitude went down a teeny notch. Not a crazy change but it happened!
So the truth is Truth. Wearing a mustache is just as bad as everyone perceives.
Basically do not wear one unless you are any of the following:
An on duty police officer or fireman
Over 40 years old
Under 40 but dress like a hipster
Hiding a hair lip
Who else can pull of a mustache without being a creepster?
