A 54-year-old Whitechapel man has taken a good, long hard look at himself after he spotted the instruction on the timeline of one of his Facebook friends.
Toby Dell, a gravity die-caster from Berner Street, told The East London Gazette: ‘There’s a woman on my list who is constantly saying that some people should take a good, long hard look at themselves.
‘She never aims this at any specific person, it’s just random and could apply to anyone.
‘To be honest, she’s a bit of a pain in the arse and seems to think everybody’s gunning for her but I thought I’d have a quick check in case she meant me.
‘I stood in front of the hall mirror and looked really hard at myself for around five minutes.
‘To be honest, I didn’t spot anything particularly shocking or even interesting.
‘I noticed I’d missed a bit under my lower lip when shaving that morning and that my nose hair could do with a tidy up but that was about it really.
‘I’m going to private message the woman and tell her that I’ve done as she asked but with not much joy.
‘Hopefully, she’ll now exclude me specifically from the instruction in future posts.’
It is estimated that over three million passive/aggressive instructions like this one are issued every hour on Facebook along with requests for people to look at their manky-looking dog, utterly unappetising dinner, or alarmingly ugly child.

Bleedin FacelLook; I also don’t see anything wrong with me when I peer in the looking glass and I’ve reflected deeply. I honestly can only see perfection.

I try to stick with my cat blog, cat cartoons, and cat videos for Facebook posting, but the temptation to look at others and post things that point at their ignorance overtakes my good sense more often than not. Aw, the wonderful MAGA days in America, where ignorance is celebrated and, even, made President!

Poor Toby. He should have asked the woman if she has taken a look at herself lately. She needs some better hair-styling and a new dress. 😀

I did it in the Hall of Mirrors with profound effect. Perhaps dropping acid first wasn’t the best idea.

Thanks for the chuckle this morning. I looked in
the mirror and nothing has changed lately, still have those age related wrinkles & sagging skin. 🤣🤣🤣 Christine

Our pleasure, Christine. Here at The Whelk laughter is our meat and drink. This is why our staff are walking skeletons.
Don’t worry about the mirror. There are 3 things that can be guaranteed; death, taxes, and, sagging skin.

Love your humor! We old folks need a laugh or two, and a smile. It brings the facial wrinkles up a little from the sag! 🤣 I’ll follow you for more insightful laughs. 📚🎶 Christine

Much appreciated, Christine. It’s nice to hear a kind word too. Earlier today, I asked my wife for some bath toys. She gave me a toaster and an electric fire 😦
