Two girls in my office got their lips done last night and now look like daisy and daffy duck. It got me thinking, its very popular for young woman to do despite the fact it looks horrendous.

Do guys (or gals) actually think it looks attractive to have bigger, exaggerated lips?  

 

I can see why people with thin lips might want to have theirs enlarged to average, to conform with perceived expectations of attractiveness. 

I can't understand why anyone wants to make part of their body look artificial though. 

I can't help making assumptions about people with exaggerated plastic surgery, usually just that the are vain, shallow and chronically unhappy. I doubt this assumption would be borne out by a proper analysis, but that's what my reaction is. For woman with massive lips i also assume that they're a porno slut.

Agreed, every woman I know who has had it lives their lives on instagram.  They will look back one day and regret it.

Got half a dozen eggs the other day from granddaughter nr 6's hens. Had a boiled egg this morning for my breakfast - absolutely delicious.

I haven’t bought a supermarket egg since March last year as we now have an egg dealer.  Hens and duck eggs every week. Tremendous.

It does look very odd. It must work for them though otherwise why would so many of them do it?

Not sure it necessarily "works" for them. Surely they just need to think that it will? 

My guess is that the thought process is

Low self esteem/unhappiness> beautiful people are confident /happy>beautiful people have big lips>if i have big lips i will be happy/confident. 

I doubt anyone sets out to look like a haemorrhoid cushion.

Aye but when did Lesley Ash get it done and looked like the above? 15 years ago? 20? You'd think after the first wave of this that people would stop doing it, but thats not what has happened.

Yeah i guess it's another of those false summits of the consumerist ideal in much the same way as the new iphone or a massive BMW

Does anyone else feel that patience is no longer a thing?

I've noticed it especially in the last year in my work and today I received the perfect example - guy emails an enquiry at 11.25am, sends me a reminder at 1pm asking when he'll get an answer. I find work colleagues want everything done there and then too, everything is urgent these days and nothing done to a planned schedule. Am I just bumping into a disproportionate number of c***s or has everyone forgotten how to chill the f**k out?

Got another 9 home with us the day when we left off granddaughter nr 5 (fair exchange, imho), but my wife managed to crack one before we even got them home.

When I had a desk job I’d email folk to say I’ve got their email but that I’m very busy akd that it could take a couple of days before they’d get a reply. (Obviously even longer if there’s an important event like Falkirk getting relegated).

Aye, why are so many folk always in such a rush? What for? What do they think will happen if someone needs to wait a bit longer?

As you say, they need to chill the f**k out.

If I'm taking numerous days to get back to you a reminder is completely fair, but sending an email at 11am and expecting an answer before 1pm is lunatic behaviour. If I know it'll take me a while to reply I'll do as you say but standard enquiries can f**k off.

I've very recently started telling people in a half delicate, half condescending way that their urgent queries aren't urgent at all. I've also started pointing out when people email me doublers in a passive aggressive way like "per my previous, you will find etc". I've also very recently started telling people I'm not particularly interested in their work. "Oh, I really need this looked at urgently" - "no, I can't". Bliss.
