    I once shared a hospital room with two old geezers after surgery, and one of them had a visit from their grandson. The dude had Nazi tattoos all over his face, swastikas, SS lighting bolts, 88’s, the iron cross, the whole collection.

    When the Nazi loser left, the old guy complained to us others in the room: “Lovely kid that… Such a shame he cannot get a job. I cannot understand why! Such a decent boy, has a forklift drivers license and everything!”

    So yeah, in total that might have been the densest occurrence of idiocy I have ever witnessed.

      I don’t think I would have been able to hold my tongue in that situation lol. I 100% would have blurted out something about his tatoos

        Understandable. It’s hard for me to shut up too sometimes when I feel like being witty, but even doped up I realised well enough that I’d be stuck there for days with a pissed off Nazi sympathizer if the gramps took it badly.

      I have heard that gangs and cults sometimes use facial tattoos to ostracize their members from society at large and prevent them from forming an external support network.

      I am so baffled by people like this. Bet he talked about how happy he was that Germany was defeated in world war 2, as well…

      I came here to say I knew someone who had an eye ball on a skateboard with flames at the back of the eye…
