Outfits like this make me physically sick and the 'people' that tend to work there. Over-inflated opinions of themselves. These are the ugly kids from school who had no friends. All of a sudden they see themselves as 'players'.

With the annoying ones, I usually find a threat of revealing all the spoilers from Breaking Thrones/Some netflix tulip* means they give you a wide berth from then on.
