Because it's all me, me, me... Apart from posting awful lies on Question of the Week, what ridiculous things have you or others done to grab the limelight?

When it comes to appearances, I take what I would consider a fairly liberal approach myself - I used to dye my hair red for example because I liked the way it looked, as did a few others (but that's another story). The thing about appearances that I cannot stand, however, is when it is clearly done for the effect it will bring, and not for any discernible aesthetic value. There are many things that befit this criteria, but I shall focus my attention on multi-coloured mohicans, and those huge tribal ear destroying things that leave a saggy, gaping hole.
If you like punk music or the general cut of the punk era's jib, then fair enough... good for you even! If your hair is spiked out 4 feet above your head, with various bits of pink, green, blue, subtle apricot and god knows what else in it, then it's nothing more than a cry for people to look at you: "Please observe me and be in the presence of my hair, for it is of vital importance that you know how different and individual I am. Are you looking? Can you see my individuality shining through!? I'm so very very different" etc. I couldn't care less about your unoriginal attempts to be original, careful on the way out... you could poke someone in the eye with that stupid thing.
The ear-lobe saggers. What's the fucking point!? I thought that this sort of thing originated in Africa because it was supposed to make women so unattractive that they would be unable to cheat on their husbands (thus making them a better wife)? Its the ones with the larger gaps that are the worst, for it simply has no redeeming value to it. "I can put my finger through my ear" oh can you? Fucking amazing! Hang on, I'm getting a call, can I put my frisbee in that thing? Thanks. Fuck off... you are not deeper or thinking on some higher cultural plane than I am simply because the sides of your face now resemble an over-used anus. Pissflapped arsemongering twunt.
I feel better now I've got that out in the open.

This reads more as projection of personal dissatisfaction than of people being attention whores.
And of course people want to denote the tribal affiliations they have - we're tribalistic by nature.

I may have been offended by their liberalism.

It's nobody else's fault that you're unhappy with the below mediocre hand that fate has dealt you.

He's since had it all taken out and had his cheeks sewn up again as he couldn't handle the constant piss-taking.

Someone coined the phrase'In lieu of personality' which explains these people. My personal bugbear is grannies with magenta hair. 'Ooh look at me I'm so wacky'. Buying my groceries in Lidl.
