One thing that really irritates the hell out of me is having a conversation with someone and noticing their lips are peeling. I usually don’t attack people’s appearance but for god’s sake CAN YOU PLEASE USE SOME EFFIN CHAPSTICK!
The only excuses for having crusty ass lips are:
1) You work in a saw mill, so therefore by default your lips are going to be ashy.
2) You’re homeless and therefore have better things to worry about.
3) You live in below freezing conditions.
There is no other excuse to have crusty ass lips. At least lick your damn lips or something. Just do something.
Even worse than are the people who ask if they could borrow my chapstick. Are you crazy? Have you seen your lips?!
True story, a couple of years ago I was walking with some acquaintance (kinda like one of those people you see and have a random ‘oh, hey what’s going on’ and you end up having to walk with him because both of you are going the same direction) and he turns to me and says ‘hey, man you have any chapstick?’ I took one good look at his lips, he had tooth marks, and it was peeling, looked all ridged. His lips looked crustier than an extra crusty pizza crust. I replied to him ‘no, I don’t have chapstick and even if I did, I sure as hell wouldn’t let you use it’. He seemed very offended by this reply, I couldn’t figure out why.
The worst part is the white crap that forms in the edge of their lips. What is that? Please, can someone explain this to me? This is such an avoidable problem too, seriously put water on it, lick your lips, do SOMETHING!
