I have an allergic reaction to nylon that frequently results in what looks like a hickie on the side of my neck. (On really bad days it looks like someone tried to strangle me.) I don’t wear scarves because they irritate it even more, and besides, scarves nowadays stand out more than the red spots do. I have long since given up worrying what complete strangers think of it.
Was she actually bragging about her hickie, or was it just that she wasn’t covering it?
If Obama teens aren’t ashamed about wearing oversized baggy pants why would they be ashamed of having a passion mark on their necks & faces. To them, a blood scar is a badge of pride and a way of screaming out to the world, Hey! Look at me! I’m sexually active!
Besides, who uses ice and mascara to hide blood spots anyway?
Hah. I was raised Pentecostal and had never really been around Catholics. I was in outside sales and I walked into the office at about 3pm to turn in my orders and one of the other sales gals was there. I said....hey you have some dirt on your forehead. She just laughed and walked off. The office manager got a kick out of it and told me what it was. rofl
Boy did I feel stupid! lol
Or the tongue piercings that click against their teeth when they talk! Ack!

I had a friend in high school whose last name was Hickey. Should we shun her?
But seriously folks, kids today....don’t they know the best spots for these marks are not usually seen in public? Honestly there needs to be some education on this. Let’s call Jerry Lewis and get a telethon started.
And while we’re at it let’s get funding for seminars on the subject “Hickey Technique 101” or “Basic Hickey Placement”.
We may need bumper stickers.
Did it affect her ability to do her job, of giving you access to your account?
If not, then it’s none of your business. Just as if she had a broke ankle, her arm in a sling, or a bruise on her arm.
True story, I bought my first new car here, a 1979 fire-engine red Ford Fairmont.
I may have even gotten my first hickey in it. :-)
And they spell “hickey” correctly, too.
Life is about giving not getting;
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Red Fairmonts HuzzaH! HuzzaH!!!
Seriously, this is not at all what I was talking about. One day a girl has no mark on her neck then she has a huge bruised hickey mark on the front of her neck and that is somehow a birthmark. She choose to have it there she was not born with it. What if this same girl decides to have a tattoo of a private body part or “f**k you” on an exposed area of skin while working? In your opinion that is appropriate in a professional place of business? Freedom of expression, is that what the issue is about? Not buying that for a minute. If that is the case no one would wear uniforms for their jobs.
Oh my...now your remarks on the teller border upon stalkeresque. You ‘know’ she didn’t have a distinguishing mark ‘one day’ and then ‘she does.’ I routinely see the same cashiers, tellers, receptionists...and honest...other knowing they have necks, I could not ‘describe’ with any great detail and/or accuracy any birthmarks, moles, or jewelry (not to mention the dreaded hickeys) that you seem to note and commit to memory.
If a business employee, during the course of their interaction with me, does their job honestly, pleasantly and with accuracy...I have no reason to commit their visage to my memory banks for scrutiny or internet discussion...
This has to be one of the oddest FR threads. Ever.
Well pennsy you sure do have a lot of things to say about something you find stupid or odd. That sure says a lot about you doesn’t it. Who knows maybe you were a hickie queen. You may want to take some time out of the woods and learn how to comprehend what you read. Once again it just reinforces the moral shift in our Country. I can see you are on the left side of the compass.
No, your attempt at repressing the freedoms we enjoy is what is wrong with the entire world today; your moral indignation is no different than the Islamists and the Taliban insisting that women not show their faces - your attempt to impose your beliefs on someone else; where does it stop? Someone else may feel that pierced earings are not acceptable. What makes you different from them?
You are but one individual trying to impose his beliefs on others. You have a choice: you don't have to pay her salary, but you can bank elsewhere as is your right, or you can suck it up. It's not as if there are no other choices for you. She may not have a choice in today's economy. She has the right, both morally and legally, to display what you "think" - with no other proof - is a hickey. Even if it is a hickey, it is not your business. She's not flaunting her underwear or her boobs. Take your business elsewhere. I suggest Iran or Afghanistan; you will fit right into their repressive, controlling atmosphere.
I will let your comments speak for themselves. Enough said.
Cool.
Hey TOL!
I am not responsible. I have an alibi.
Hey Joe. Nice to see you. That is a totally cool vid from a totally cool guy.
