I used to have a female supervisor whom I have kept in touch with via facebook.

Something always did bother me about her anyway (don't get me started!), but I've noticed, in all her 100s of photos she has of herself on facebook, not once does she smile with her mouth open (as in showing teeth). Thinking back I don't think I ever saw the woman smile with her mouth open.

Am I alone in thinking this a little creepy and repressed?

Not necessarily.

Might have a nervous personality type or not like how her teeth look.

Her teeth always looked fine to me confused

Perhaps it's just me then.

Think back- are you sure she had teeth- or did you mind/memory fill that in?

I have been accused of this. Apparently I always smile with my mouth shut, never showing my teeth. I don't know why this happens, I have never made a conscious effort to smile like this and my teeth are ok.

It's not something I was aware of until someone pointed it out to me a few years ago while taking some pictures for a company newsletter.

yes

Smiles (like laughs) are habitual. You can re-train yourself, but normally you do it without thought.

Maybe you just weren't as funny as you thought you were? biggrin

Never trust anyone who shows to much gums when smiling http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/4.gifing.

Smiling with your mouth shut is nothing. Talking with your mouth shut is a different matter.

Gottle of geer.

Oh, I'm never funny, me angel

Cheers for the replies though, I know it sounds petty but it's been niggling at me.

I hardly ever smile. Let alone "show teeth".

I think most people look like fking lunatics when they smile.

This is very true. I, personally, myself, look like a right gimp when I give it full beam.

Also, smiling tends to accentuate my wrinkles, so I avoid it wherever possible.

Consequently, I appear a miserable sod. Which I'm not. Maybe.

I love appearing to be miserable. Because I'm miserable mostly. wink

How's you know what by the way? Keep smiling. wink

Nasty, unnecessary, underhand, below the belt and just plain wrong.

But, hey ho, whatever floats your boat Mr Rex.
