Have you ever had a zit so bad you put a plaster on it and pretended that you have injured your face? I have, twice. You can only really get away with it once per country so I have done it in Auckland and in London. In London I upped my game and got some surgical gauze and tape and taped it over my zit.
There are a couple of problems which you will encounter which you first have to think through. First you have to think of a believable back story to why you have injured your face. And remember people very rarely injure their face. My favourite story is I walked into a door. Because people laugh at ‘that old line’ and also think about it you can walk into a door if you are un-coordinated like me. I like to add in, there was a nail sticking out, walked into a sharp bit something like that and it cut my face.
Secondly you need to correctly ascertain the severity of the zit, e.g. will it be bad for 4 days to a week? If it will cover it up, any less than that and people will know it’s just a zit, removing the dressing is key when you go back in public with your zit on show remember there most be some redness/scarring left and also there must be no puss. Puss it s dead giveaway.
Twice I have done this and it worked a treat I can’t do it again until I move country, it only works once, people soon become wise.
The point of all this is that I have already pulled this trick in London and I have a massive zit on my chin, I have effectively grown another chin, and no I haven’t picked it. It really needs the plaster walked into the door treatment, but I can’t do it again. The severity of the zit is such it calls for a relocation of some sort. Maybe New York? Or even better Saudi Arabia, then I could cover my face with a Burka! Now I am thinking.
