He wasn't pretending it was normal. The guy was pretty consistent in claiming that he was given to disgustingly heavy sweating when he got nervous, which happened a lot because he was a neurotic person. In Japan, having something tied around your head is thought to promote concentration, so it could have something to do with that as well.

It doesn't matter.
No matter what you wear, people are going to stare at you. They're going to follow your with their glaring, deep set eyes and their gaping mouths, sneering at you, disgusted with you. They'll haunt you with their unmitigated hatred of you. Every single mislaid fold, every single loose thread. They remember you and when they talk to their friends and family, they'll talk about how filthy, how rancid, how disgusting you are. They'll talk about what a putrid sack of shit you are. You can't escape it. I can't escape it.
