BTW if you ever run into creatures like this in the wild, it bothers the shit out of them if you just completely ignore their self-disfigurement. I lived in California for awhile and when, for example, you went to a bookstore where one of these ejeets worked and simply asked where the magazine section was without so much as the slightest acknowledgement of their self-inflicted freak show facial deformities you'd always see a flash of resentment or disappointment on their faces. Poor little things. Many of them do it for shock value or attention and get that sad little jolt of feeling, falsely, "power" or "control" if you play along.
