So today at my retail job a guy came in and said he was at 1" for his earlobes. At first glance I could tell he was either 3/4" or 7/8" but he was positive he was an inch. I had him hold his plug next to all 3 sizes and he was (eyeball estimate) at 3/4", but instead he says "I bet I could shove the 1" in there." I tried to give him all the advice and sound logic I had to offer, but it was to no avail. His earlobes were already dangerously thin and I'm sure you all know where this is going.
Basically a long painful story short, this guy purchased a pair of 1" Double Flare plugs, opened the package in the store and began to attempt shoving them though. I begged him to not do it and his only reply was "I've almost got it!" and then pow... the guy ripped out his own earlobe. Without a single word, this guy turned around and walked right out of the store. I am curious if he will ever come back to the shop.
So that was my day, how is everyone else doing?

Re: I begged him not to do it
Wow. Then when he gets it sorted he'll probably tell people "I skipped from 3/4" to an inch and I didn't have any problems!" That's usually how people like that are which is why bad stretching is so common. *sigh*
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

Re: I begged him not to do it
I'm having nightmares about it now.
It keeps making me cringe, like anytime I see someone get a piercing ripped out in a movie.

Re: I begged him not to do it
That's just...wow. That's like an episode of Jackass.
I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later, but gross that he had to do it in front of you! And double flares too. Because if you're going to do something stupid, why not do it as stupidly as possible?
