Today when we stopped for lunch on our way back from the north coast, I sat completely absorbed in my people ‘watch and wonder’ state, and I found it hard to take my eyes off a ‘30 Something’ guy sitting nearby. No, not in any inappropriate way… but for a while I couldn’t quite figure out what it was that was odd about him.
After a few minutes, it occurred to me… he was too CLEAN and too PERFECT.
He was casually dressed… but there was nothing casual whatsoever about his appearance.
His freshly cut, short back-n- sides hair, his face so cleanly shaven that it was shiny, his plain white T shirt was like an ad for washing powder, and his blue demin jeans where the perfect grade of fade, AND had creases ironed into them for goodness sake (who does that these days?)…Then I got to his feet! He was wearing ‘dress thongs’, but his feet looked like he had just had a pedicure. In fact he almost reminded me of Barbie’s ‘Ken’.
I know this all sounds rather weird; but he stood out because of his unnatural ‘perfection’… just not in a good way. I couldn’t help but think he would be SO boring…he really looked like he needed to have a few of his edges roughed up. You know, some wrinkles in his clothes or tomato sauce stains on his OMO white shirt.
He left me wondering …how is it possible to be too clean ???
