Just Smile and Nod: The Hilarious (and Annoying) Things People Say to Ear Stretchers
Ear stretching can be a powerful way to express yourself, but it often comes with some words of wisdom from people who just don't understand the practice. Whether it's a concerned family member or a nosy coworker, you may have found yourself on the receiving end of some hilarious comments. Here are just a few of the funniest things people say to ear stretchers.
"Did it hurt?" - This is by far the most common question. The answer, of course, is yes, but not in the way that you might think. Stretching your ears is a gradual process, and while there is some discomfort, it's not excruciating.
"Can you take them out?" - Yes, you can take them out, just like you would any other kind of earring. But why would you want to? You've spent a lot of time and effort to get your ears to this size, so why not show them off?
"What are you going to do when you're older?" - This is one of the most frustrating comments you can hear, as if stretching your ears means you have no idea what your future holds. The truth is, plenty of people with stretched ears go on to lead successful, fulfilling lives.
"I don't get it, why would you want to do that?" - This one is a bit more harmless but can still be irritating. The answer, of course, is that everyone has their own unique sense of style, and ear stretching is just one way to express that.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" - This comment often comes from well-meaning family members or friends.
While you may hear some weird and hilarious comments, it's important to remember that your body is your own, and you have the right to do with it what you want. So next time someone asks you a weird question about your stretched ears, just smile and nod, knowing that you're expressing yourself in a unique and powerful way.
