Miss Manners on: Brows
Q: How do I tactfully inform a co-worker, without offending her, that her choice in penciling-in her eyebrows is unattractive and not very “normal”?
Miss Manners says: You wait patiently until she says to you, “What do you think of my eyebrows? Should I not pencil them in like this?”
Your Head Bitch says: You know what’s not in any way rude? Wearing your eyebrows in an unconventional fashion. You know what is? Going up to someone out of the blue to tell them they look unattractive for any reason, but in this case because they wear their eyebrows differently than you would choose to. Bitch looks in a mirror every morning when she’s putting her face on. She knows what her eyebrows look like. If she’s cool with it, you should be too. Once you’re promoted to head of office eyebrow management, you can feel free to issue your professional opinion. Until then, you have no qualifications and no one cares.
Surprise! Unsolicited opinions are not welcome.
