Bearded man, know your enemy. Pulling up a zip anywhere near your face is a recipe for disaster, so either invest in a Paddington Bear style button-up coat, or rock the unfastened look. Under no circumstances use zips. Or velcro for that matter.
2. Passport Control
No Sir, I am not attempting to enter your country on someone else's documentation. I am not a terrorist, and I'm pretty sure there's no need to get your supervisor. Just put your fingers over the bottom part of the passport photo, it's not that difficult.
1. Literally Having To Justify Your Beard Every Single Day
Would you ask someone why they have their hair a certain way? Or why they're wearing the clothes they've chosen to? Would you make them feel like they should have to defend the simplest of aesthetic choices? No? So why is that courtesy not extended to the bearded minority of the world. This is the everyday struggle of the bearded man (and indeed the bearded woman) - why won't you shave? Isn't it itchy? But you look so much older. Do you know beards make you look fatter? LEAVE ME ALONE. Do you have a beard? Share your struggles in the comments thread below.
