Just like Jessie J. Do it like a dude.

In preparation for the new job I start tomorrow, I had to go have my fingerprints made at the sheriff's department. The fingerprint office shares a space with the handgun licensing bureau. There were all sorts of interesting people in there. ALL SORTS.

While sitting there waiting my turn, I happened to notice an inordinate amount of crotch grabbing going on. I guess I'm normally not around so many males in one space. Males who feel the need to adjust. In public.

Now I understand the need to, ahem, rearrange the stuff that's down there. But come on. Is it really necessary to grab it THAT much? You're not even playing baseball (or randomly wearing baseball pants). What if girls started doing that? Just reaching down there? Now I'll admit... when my thong puts me in an awkward position, I'll find a discreet corner and adjust. My former employees, I'm sad to say, were all too familiar with this display. Unfortunately enough for them.

But in public? In front of gawd and everyone? Like 6 times in 2 minutes? (Yep, I timed and counted.) Really? I don't get it. You're standing relatively still for that 2.5 minutes. That package down there isn't jostling around. It's not being moved around due to walking. You're not sitting and standing frequently. You're not playing baseball. You're just standing there. What is there to adjust?

I just don't get it.
