4 Things I Don't Understand

• Fashion scarves. OK. I think this is going to make me sound like a guy ("what are cushions for??!?!"), but, wtf is the purpose of fashion scarves?? From what I understand, the purpose of scarves is to keep your neck warm when it's cold out. Well, you're supposed to wear fashion scarves with tee-shirts, or other loose-fitting apparel, like tanktops with a vest (often topped with a fedora). Yes, they are made of a lighter material, but still! In the summer (or in warm weather), anything wrapped around your neck will make you sweat and feel uncomfortable! I guess I'm saying 1) they serve no functional purpose and 2) they don't even look that good so any sensible person would not wear them. :)

• "Employees must wash hands" signs. I mean, are you supposed to feel safer or that the place you're at is more hygenic? I don't think employees are more likely to wash their hands just because of that sign. I think most of the time, people, employee or otherwise, don't give a crap about those signs. If I were an employee, I sure wouldn't. That is not to say I don't wash my hands after I go to the bathroom. I wash my hands regardless--having the sign there would not have any effect on my washing my hands.
  

• 
• Buying the same piece of clothing or accessory that a celebrity has worn. OK, I guess I kind of get this one. If I see a celebrity that I like wear something that I like, it's going to make me more inclined to purchase that item, whatever it might be. But does this mean I'll buy anything that I see on a celebrity that I like?? No! But sites such as shopintuition.com have cropped up just for that purpose! The logic is: If [insert famous celebrity here] has worn this, then everyone will want it. While that, on some levels, is true, I don't think anyone would, or should pay $60 for these stirrup black leggings just because Paris Hilton has the same pair.

• Men who tie sweaters around their shoulders. First of all, whoever came up with this idea must be a douchebag since it doesn't look good at all--just really incredibly stupid. Also, whoever dresses like this must either be:

1. gay*
   
2. or an arrogant priss

*Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against gay people, I just don't think this style looks good, that's all. It just looks like you're trying too hard...
