Hey brothers - So I'm at the grocery store after work and see an acquaintance (female) of mine I hadn't seen in a month or so. I was walking in the front and she was at the register. I pause and get her attention and say hello. She looks up and the first (and only) words out of her mouth are, "whats with the ponytail?" It was close to 5pm and thus very crowded and lots of people were listening to us. So, I give her a big smile and say, "so, what's with the bangs?" Ha Ha!!! It was a perfect come back IMHO and just came to me. She smiled and we went our separate ways. I don't think she meant any disrepect and I didn't take it that way. I don't wear it tied back that much and as I said hadn't seen her in awhile so her reaction was natural. And my response was, I think, perfect...she was "teasing" me about how I choose to wear my hair and I was teasing her about hers; no more no less. Atleast she noticed, and now that I think about it she also caused everyone within earshot to notice too. I walked away proudly...letting my freak flag fly!!! I love (my)long hair! Bruce'ster
Cool experience, Bruce, and I also get the sense she was teasing. Absolutely be proud to walk around with your "freak flag" flying high. I know I do!
...They take EVERY opportunity to insult, belittle, degrade and criticize people.
Your comeback was a decent one--and she had it coming. Probbly hates you
for it.
They are good at dishing it out but they rarely can take it themselves.
Bruce,
You handled that one VERY good. My problem is, I always think of a comeback like that too late... WAY too late!

I would of said ''What's with the face'' That would of made her cry :)
Way to go man! Way to handle the situation.
It seems people remark less as the hair gets longer, so enjoy this period while it lasts.
I love (my)long hair! Bruce'ster
And so you should Bruce'ster.
Keep it free, flowing and freakish!!
