Girls-wear a low cut shirt and push up bra, and bend over alot! Don’t forget the short skirt to go with it—along with 5 inch spikes!

Ha, just because wearing an earring has become more accepted by society doesn’t also mean that it no longer makes you look like a fool, because it does.

I had an ear pierced when I was 13, but had to let it grow in since I played football at a Catholic high school.

Then in college, I got 2 more holes in each ear. I actually forgot to take them out for a job interview and the interviewer asked me (at the end) why I decided to wear them. I felt my ears and said “oh, I forgot to take them out!” I didn’t hear back on that one.

Depending on your field, an earring is still acceptable and perhaps even required (apparently in the NFL???), but for the professional businessman, unless you’re pitching a sale to a bunch of high schoolers, you’ll probably want to take them out.

I’ve had earrings since I was 15. My grandma took me to get my ears pierced. Sex before marriage is cool too. ^_^

I don’t know if I agree with the earrings one: “Men, just wear earrings.” I think it’s become much more acceptable for men to wear earrings. Perhaps your Senator won’t show up to work in them, but your IT guy, or even your manager might and they can still look professional and put together. It’s definitely not as taboo as anything else on the list.

Oh yeah, we have one of them too. Guy with 2 front teeth (one top, one bottom). Excellent developer, but no teeth.

Oh and many of the others from the list apply to him as well (combing hair, high pants, etc.)

Not taking advantage of the company dental plan. If you have funky teeth, get them fixed, whitened or replaced. Nothing says loser like missing or black/green teeth.
