All Ears: A Woman's View on Male Hygiene

Kyra Notes From The Cube . . .

OK, boys - especially boys above a "certain age" - shave your ear hair.

This is a gross topic. But I have to look at you!

I don't care that you have "given up" on ever having a romantic life again: you work in this office with me and you certainly have a social life, whether you want it or not. A very specific social life: we work in the same office - and because I was taught to be polite I can't turn away when we speak to one another.

I'll give you the stray hair that grows fast since the last time you shaved, but beyond that: No. Look in a mirror and, if your ears are starting to resemble a koala bear's fuzzy wuzzies, know that IT IS NOT ATTRACTIVE.

The "Homeless Bum" look does not go well with your professional position.

Please, pleeeeaaaase don't come to work that way anymore.
