In my experience, if im going out to walk the dog, or pick something up from the shops i will invariable look in the mirror before i go out the door. Now sometimes i will think ‘hmm i look a mess’ and I will try and make myself look good, but it doesn;t matter because i never ‘bump’ into some girl i know etc. But if i look in the mirror and say ‘ah who cares’ i will almost always meet someone i know, and then i wish i had made an effort, but if i had made the effort i know that i wouldn;t have meet them, its really a Catch 22 situation, i;ve disscussed this with a few friends and they seem to agree with me. I just thought you might like to know my thoughts on a very Mundane topic. ---

The days I run into ppl I sometimes look awful but i dont care but ususally i am unrecognizable when i walk the dog. I do try to look decent going outside to the shops since that doesnt happen often anymore so its a big deal for me to dress in clothes other than jogging pants and hooded sweatshirts. ---

Some magic mirrors are better than others. Next time, don’t buy such a cheap one.
