The cuts are not a fit style. And some of the colors are weird. Don’t get weird smells …

The website asked me if I had a suffix and, because I am a doctor, I stupidly added “why yes! I’m a phd”. thus, the booking is now for JOHN DOEPHD. My passport, of course, has John doe on it. How screwed am I? I called U…
