...it gets caught under your armpit! This keeps happening to me lately and I need to be a little bit more careful. I was just running up the stair and a section of my back hair must of got trapped underneath my armpit, wrenching a few strands of hair out in the process. Hehe. It's been ages since I had a milestone.
I remember the first time I thought I had a hair in my food, when it turned out to be my own!
What strange things have happened to you that reminded you of your ever-growing mop?
...you drop your glasses and they don't hit the floor, they get caught in your hair.
...your hair gets caught in the car door when you slam it shut.
...your cat starts using you for a scratching post
...when you can go out naked without anyone seeing your ****...
...when you cant headbang without the risk of falling...
...when you need more than a day to dry your hair...

...when you have to think about it when you sit down. Even if you don't sit on it, whenever I lean back against the chair it gets caught!
...when your headphones get caught in your hair when you take them off.
...when you realize your entire family's hair, all added together, is still shorter than yours!
...When it gets caught when you close your laptop.
I've mentioned this to short-haired friends, and they see these as annoyances - but I love 'em!
When it...
-gets caught in the toaster (luckily not on at the time)
-gets caught in the cell phone antenna
-blows in your face all the time
-gets in your mouth and you swallow a strand still attached
-gets under the seatbelt, backpack strap, etc.
-gets caught in the car window as you were letting it up
And, my hair's not even that long really!
it is longer than your arm, even when in a ponytail.
you sit on it when riding a bicycle.
door knobs snag you hair. God I hate door knobs, they are a real problem for me.
when people turn around to take a second look at you because they can't believe how long it is. (Mine reaches the tops of my knees.)
Absalom
When it's hard to eat at a table without it tied back.
When it gets caught in the car door (I've done it twice.. now I pay alot of attention)
When it gets caught in the guitar strings while standing up straight, not headbanging!
When it takes 30+ minutes to comb it out completely after a shower
When people call you "ma'am" from behind, lol!
Height can have a lot to do with this. I looked in the archive at post 182662 at your full length shot. From the photo. you appear to be about 5'5" tall. If you are 6'4" in height, it is much less likely to happen.
It has happened to me, and I am between 5'9" and 5'10" tall. This is tall for a woman, but not super tall.

How'd you know..?
I have a very good sense of scale. Heads vary only slightly in size, but body size varies a lot. Your head looks relatively large compared to your body. The photo was taken from about chest height, so the perspective was not distorted. A photo taken from just above floor height, or ceiling height looking down makes scale much harder to determine. A wide angle shot also makes determination of height very difficult due to distorting of the image.
Take a good look at James Raymond and you will see his head looks tiny compared to his body. He is 6'8" tall.

When you reach out to grab the door to enter a building, and accidently pull a lock of hair along with the door.
When you trip over it! lol Don't think I'll ever have to worrie about that one. peace, jonalbear
Butt floss in the shower.
Heh, heh! I can definitely relate. I bet most of us can but don't want to bring it up! :)

LOL I can go one better what's up with those odd strands that get wrapped around your *** i do mean the odd strands that we shedd how do they get down there and wound around I don't know but I know a few longhairs who've wondered the same thing.
And I can go one better still...
What happened to me the other day was just as you described above, only with one noticeable difference: after having bent my head forward while brushing my hair, the hairs that got caught around "Mr. Winky" were still atched to my head!
- Ken
Just like a marionette puppet... to get "Mr. Winky" to stand up, just tip your head back! :)

Well, I can't eat without at least putting my hair behind my ears now. Sometimes, I can't even read because so much hair's in front my eyes!
Also, when you pull off your glasses and pull off some hair with them. This is annoying as hell.
When taking a fast shower becomes one of those impossible to-do items. Man, I take forever to bathe when I'm conditioning/combing my hair.
Finally, when people start complaining they can't see your face from the side anymore....
Peace
Hey Tom,
You haven't lived until you've rolled up a car window on your blowing hair...or getting it caught between your finger and a guitar string as you pull your head back...good times!
Brett
=P
The car door thing;
Caught under armpits (ouch!)
Braid caught under you when sleeping
Caught on your braces (cough cough =P)
Hair everywhere
A LOT of time to get it detangled =P
Those are the most noticeable for me... recently eating my food without seeing some hair almost invading my plate has also become a little usual =P Well, means your hair is growing so it's awesome =D
haven't had that, that's awesome :p
For me really the main problem is food and generally the hair getting in your mouth.
I think your next milestone should be butt-tickle-length (read that off LHC) :D
When I get up in the morning and have to detangle my hair.
When my hair starts tickling my belly button.
When you need to eat, and you have to put your hair up.
You get bored of the ponytail and putting your hair down.
People say Ma'am to you when they don't take a look at your face/
