Because putting your fist in her other holes might be frowned upon in public

Seattle is thick with these types. To each their own, but if my kid tries this, she's dead.

From the headline, I was expecting a story where some Starbucks douchebag was shotgunned in the head. Thank god it's just some inane fashion trend.

So I guess piercing your nose has good too mainstream?

Starbucks requires their baristas to cover up piercings like that. Nose piercings must be covered with an adhesive bandage too.

I'm waiting for them to realize they aren't the only attention whore doing this and have to resort to stretching their lips out (new window)

Dear starbucks barista:

If you put as much effort into your earlobes as you do your coffee, maybe I'd actually patronize your crappy overpriced coffeeshop.

This is one of those trends that baffles me. It looks retarded, and the larger ones are just farking disgusting.

Good luck getting a real job with those things, you scumbags. Guess I'll just keep paying for your lifestyle though my taxes while you camp out in the street, raping each other and spreading disease.

To be fair to the guy making your latte, he can't control the way the company roasts its beans.

this is not universally true, as I had my ears done when I worked at starbucks.

You misspelled "employee".

They don't get some special name because they happen to serve coffee instead of burgers or ice cream.

Just get me my large coffee and go back to fellating the memory of Steve Jobs.

I recently saw some kid with stretched lobes behind the counter at a Wendys I think. I am guessing policy didn't allow him to actually have anything in his earlobes, so there they were, just hanging there all gross... red, inflamed, crusty yet limp. I almost didn't eat there, but I hated myself just enough to still go through with eating there. Can't unsee those earlobes though, they were pretty gross.

Which really is the problem. That shiat doesn't heal like a normal piercing. You're stuck with that shiat once you do it, and by the time you're out of college and ready to get a real career you'll probably regret it unless you get it patched up

"People are only doing it these days because they are following like sheep." -Amie Conradine, 19, started stretching her lobes herself from the age of 11.

...as opposed to your own reasons, which were doubtlessly conceived entirely within your own hermetically sealed mind, and are therefore 100% original?

At least I can give her credit for not saying "sheeple."

The article interviewed a girl who said she did it to express her individuality and meaning, not like all the other sheep (her word, not mine) who are doing it to fit in.

It's really sad that some pretty girls will make them selves look so ugly by doing this to them selves. It really is disgusting looking.

Because a Starbucks barista is the only job they could get after body modification.

Some people just don't have the common sense to plan for their future.

Honestly, the worst part about that guy is not all the shiat on his face...it's the inverse sideburns. A hairline a half inch above the ear is typically the bailiwick of middle-aged douchebags who stink up elevators with too much Right Guard and wear mom jeans.

Do you think people deserve to have low paying jobs because of their ear rings?
