how fucking difficult is it to keep your button-up shirt tucked in at work? I definitely don’t want to see that…no matter where it is. also, could you please wear an under shirt? I even asked nicely… I don’t need to see your furry belly at lunch or any other time. please. —#barf

  5. Why couldn’t you just say, hey, bud, looks like your belly button’s undone your shirt or something equally lighthearted? It’s no big woof. And much better than having to witness your look of total disdain aimed at this poor oaf.

  6. Why is his belly showing? Does he unbutton his shirt as well or is his shirt too small for him whereas the bottom button is resting above his bellybutton?

  8. Here’s an idea…. If you don’t enjoy looking at it… THEN DON’T LOOK AT IT!!!

    no one chooses for you to do anything you don’t choose to do yourself.

    but no! you MUST have the world around you to suit YOU don’t you? Just like every other child in the world.

  9. Op i’m sure there is something about your appearance that creeps people out too. Maybe you’re a mouth-breather. Maybe you walk funny. Maybe you look fine but have some little thing about your mannerism or personality that drives people insane.

    How do i know this? We all do. Each of us has something that makes at least one other person wish murder were legal.

    So.. yeah ok. You don’t want to see the man’s gut. His gut is out. Why do you keep looking at it? I’m guessing your annoying trait is nagging.

  10. Perhaps they just need to iron their shirts. You ever seen it where the buttons stretch open like ()? Either way, you should check a mirror before leaving.
    Maybe OP isn’t staring either, maybe it was a glance, same as when someone’s fly is down, and why is it too much to ask that people be presentable at work?

  11. All the toilets in New York’s police stations have been stolen. Police have nothing to go on.

  12. HipHop, I agree that people should look presentable at work (depending on the job, different levels of presentability should be acceptable – plumber vs lawyer). However, either the subject of the bitch just lets their stomach hang out all day like a slob (wtf?) or OP is making a mountain out of a mole hill. In my opinion, I’m thinking the ladder is more likely.

  15. Stephen, that line was worthy of a Depends. A tug of the forelock goes in your general direction.

    Well said. there are worse things in life to worry about, like selfish people who use frivolous excuses to act out his or her selfishness.
