Don’t Stick Your Neck Out For Those Who Are Not Nice

This conversation happened in the break room of the electronics store where I work.

Coworker #1: “I don’t understand these people.”

Me: “What people?”

Coworker #1: “I keep seeing customers wearing sleeveless turtlenecks. What the h*** is even the point of that?”

Me: “I mean—”

Coworker #2: “—Hickey coverage.”

Coworker #1: “Huh?”

Coworker #2: “The neck is the number one place for your lover to put a hickey, and turtleneck sweaters help to cover them up. Which is great… if you like being warm. But if you prefer to cool off, you want light clothing that leaves your arms exposed. A sleeveless turtleneck gives you that while still covering up the hickeys.”

Coworker #1: “That’s… huh. Guess that makes sense.” *Walks off.*

Me: *Once [Coworker #1] is gone.* “Dude, what the f***?”

Coworker #2: “Hey, any dumba** who is already acting like clothing has to have a POINT, instead of being allowed to just look nice, deserves bulls***.”
