	And all I can think is, "Have any of my rashes ever looked like hickeys?" Sympathy for the sensitive-skinned, yo. Some of us get irritated just from our hair. (Reply to this)(Thread)

See, what I don't get is why snark isn't the default response. If you're blunt enough to not give a shit that someone is sucking on your neck and leaving marks that you'll be unable to cover, then you have to know that someone's gonna be crass enough to mention it. This is where the straight-faced lie comes in:

Customer: Having fun outside of work, aren't we?
Employee: If you call curling iron burns fun/not particularly, I was just lucky my dad's pet ferret didn't break skin/I've really got to learn to control the vacuum cleaner hose/Yep! I'm learning a new blockhead act!/No. Can't you see my boyfriend tried to strangle me last night?

And of course, the snark bonus points add up for each customer she gives a different story to.

	Srsly. I've been asked if I self-mutilate. Uh, no, and even if I did it would be none of your goddamn business. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have a sugar glider who loves to climb all over me, and when he's in need of a nail trim that means scratches on my arms and wrists. I'm just WAITING for someone to make that comment. (Reply to this)(Parent)
