things i've learned from people in seattle
1) you don't actually have to be homeless to smell like a homeless person.
2) why wear clothing when you can wear gear? running gear, walking gear, cycling gear... whenever i see someone who looks put together it turns out they are going to or coming from work. that's their job-gear.
3) tattoos should be like beer promos on sports apparel: big, ugly and there only to make an otherwise good thing look cheap.
4) age is irrelevant. today i saw a grown woman working at a bakery wearing the exact same hoody as the 4 year old i babysit. cartoon character and all.
5) servers in restaurants don't want you to tip them. they also don't want you to speak to them, and really would prefer that you not come into the restaurant at all. k thanks.
6) there is nothing funny about anything.
7) people get pierced like it's their tic.
