It's funny, the way people judge you by how you dress.

When I was managing a movie theater, I did all of the hiring. I normally dress kind of like a biker, but I was at work. I was wearing a pair of black dress pants with a grey ribbed turtleneck, a thigh length leather jacket & a nice pair of glasses. My one o'clock was a young man dressed goth/punk rock. We sat down and I read his application. I noticed that he stated his interests were horror movies & metal music (both of which I'm a big fan of) so I asked him what he liked. He immediately took on a snotty air, stating "Oh, probably nothing you've ever heard of." He then went on to state Nekromantik (which I used to own) and the band Nile (whom I've seen live three times.) After I told him about this, he seemed taken aback. Clothes (especially work environment attire) do not the man make.
