Sometimes you can tell someone is an asshole by the way they are dressed, and this is one of those times. The all white, non-tennis outfit on a man. And of course the dead give away, the polo shirt tightly tucked in.
Then if you bring your attention to the normal looking guy’s facial expression and especially his right hand; the trick all parents use to lure their kids (and thus themselves) AWAY from the asshole with the tucked in white polo shirt.
You could write an entire story around this photo, FJ.
The expression on her face says it all…he reminds me of the men that would frequent the Executive Fitness Club I used to work at.
They never actually worked out, they just paid the $3000 yearly membership fees so they could sit in the lounge, holding their “for aesthetic purposes only” squash rackets and making jokes about “that time in the Hamptons…”
Unfortunately the ass in white is her husband’s boss. They’re at his house, he’s toasted and showing his ass.. The employee is fed up and the wife is thinking, ” oh my god, how can his wife stand him?”
The employee appears to be summons his psychic energy, eyes narrowing as he tries to blow the boss to bits with his alien rays.. Unsuccessfully, the glare deflects the rays.
I once read in a book that “deus ex machina” is Latin for “Are you fucking kidding me?”
I think that normal looking guy’s expression is French for “Are you fucking kidding me?”
How on earth do you capture these unusual moments? Do you know these people? Or are you some kind of peeping Tom? I think I know what you’re really doing in the “desert” on all these “research” trips.
I saw this guy at a pool party we were invited to a couple of months ago. I sat in a lawn chair and watched him (on the QT) for a little while until he started talking to this couple and then shot 4 or 5 pics….this was the best one. I have to admit that when I first saw him I decided I had to photograph this joker.
I would imagine Dick Weed II, Esq. is enlightening this young couple on how to get whiter whites, and from their reaction, I imagine it would have something to do with criticizing mixed marriages.
Nice shot, FJ. Mr. Weed and his ilk need to preserved for posterity and/or educational purposes.
It’s awkward to play spades or hearts with people whom you are uncomfortable around. That’s why my game of choice has always been slap-jack, ’cause I slap right across the face.

Why yes, I do use Reckitt’s Blue instead of ordinary bleach – however did you guess?
“Why yes, Don Ameche was my Dad’s brother”!!!

“Mitchell, once and for all, do you realize what a dweeb you are?”

Ah, see, how awkward, I was just going to ask you about ‘that time in the Hamptons.’

What happens if the douche reads your blog?
Then my stats go up by one.
I don’t mean to be rude, but I think he’s a dickweed, not a douche. At least according to the tags.
Oops, wrote this before reading CLT’s reference. I guess we both like those tags.
Dickweed totally…Thanks PV.

That’s it CLT, this is a public service we all do.
Ah!
A rare sighting of the chest-high waistband.
I had feared it to be extinct in the wild.
Alive and well as you see. Nice to see you NS.
I get that look from women all of the time. It means they are hot for me.
No doubt your assessment is spot on.
“So the priest says, ‘no. It’s a one-legged hooker!’”
“Bumping into” an ex-lover is always awkward, especially when hepatitis comes up in the conversation. Poor kids…
Hilarious RR, its awkward in spades. Great to hear from you as always.

Then what is it….
