    I'm 67 . . . I managed to wash and dress myself this morning:rotfl:
    Maybe you did, but to be fair to the OP - you do have your underpants on the outside and cleaned your teeth with talcum powder :rotfl:

    OP, if you're up for a fight and don't mind haranguing (loudly) for hours with some spotty adolescent "manager", then go along and complain.

    You do realise that acne is not only limited to teenagers, but adults suffer from it as well?

    Really does pi$$ me off when people use it as a an insulting term to describe someone they seem to have utter contempt for.

    That annoys me too. Job competence and skin condition are not linked at all. Someone might have great skin, but be terrible at their job. Someone might suffer from chronic, painful acne, but be amazing at their job and be in senior management. Swap "spotty" for a skin colour and suddenly their dig doesn't seem so acceptable in polite conversation.

    And before anyone complains that it's not the same, it is. Your opinion of them is lowered because of a characteristic over which they had no choice.
