Lol! I used to work with a guy who was just the sloppiest eater ever, he must have gone through a fortune in ties. I was only contracting there so I wasnt involved but all of his coworkers got him a Bib for his birthday.

He was soooo pissed.

I remember the very next day we're at the pub for lunch and he was actually really kind of sad about it and he asks me:

"Locke, you dont really work here, so tell me, why would they do this to me? Why would they be so mean?"

*As BBQ sauce slides down his tie.*

- "Dude...its funny and they're really doing you a favour. Just own it. And really, it actually genuinely is out of affection. Just laugh it off and roll with it."

Which...honestly, was good advice. This guy was the sloppiest eater you've ever seen, but goddamn if he wasnt a brilliant Accountant. Sloppiest eater ever, but the first guy who you'd go to for help, he never said 'no' and he always had an answer.

He was awesome.

Sometimes you havee to just learn to laugh at yourself.
