butt flash

Jan 31, 2008 09:38

I was walking in the OR racetrack the other day and came up behind a young black man carrying a mop head. He was wearing his scrubs tied around his upper thighs so his butt was hanging out. I thought this was really funny because 1) scrubs are drawstring, huge pants. So it's not about the size, it's about where you choose to tie them. So this was a decision. I choose to tie mine around my ribs because even the small size is so gigantic that they drag on the floor if I don't. 2) The OR is a bastion of conformity. There's a red line at the door of the racetrack which opens to 18 rooms. When you cross that line you have to be wearing scrubs of exactly the right shade blue, a hat, and possibly shoe covers. You are not allowed to even wear a jacket, even though it is freezing cold. If you try (and I do) somebody will invariably call you on it and you have to apologize and pretend you don't know any better. 3) I can't believe that style is still going. I thought it was funny in the first place.
