Men: Yes, facial hair is acceptable - as in beard or mustache - NOT as in long, rope-like strands streaming out of your disgusting nostrils. Let me ask, do you own a mirror?

Photogenic-itis
How frightening is it when you very reluctantly let someone take a picture of you, citing your reluctance because of how non-photogenic you are ... and sure enough the picture is horrific and the picture-taker says, "come on, the picture looks just like you."
That “look how tall he is” thing again
