At the gas station tonight after work, went in to pre pay for the gas in my truck(as it always does) Waiting in line, guy behind me and I had alittle conversation, went like this:
Guy: Are you hungry?
Me: no why?
Guy: Your filthy son
Me: I just got off work
Guy: Oh I'm sorry(he laughs out loud), man you get dirty, thought I'd ask anyway(With a smile on his face)
Me: it's ok man, thanks anyway.
Filled my truck up and drove home. Not really hair related, I thought it was funny yet generous :)
A nosey individual who deserved what you did not give him - the abilty to inspect the sky from the ground or else a need to douse his ears in water for 30 minutes.
Not sure I follow???
I think he means being knocked flat on his back
Hey Michael,
Thanks for sharing this story.
Your very welcome!
Ok, now I'm curious. What do you do for a living?
I work in a machine shop. I run a CNC boreing mill. Grease, oil, cigarette smoke.... a lovely enviorment lol!
I had a guy buy me a donut once because he thought I was starving. Nope! Just longhaired.
He had come out of a donut shop I was sitting near with a bag of donuts for himself and one donut in a separate bag for me. Yeah, he had actually bought me the donut. I just took the gift and nodded "thanks". The guy had meant well, and it's rude to refuse a gift.
Most often, though, strangers offer to give me weed. I do refuse that because weed is expensive so I'd hate to take it and not use it, and also, having it on you is illegal.

Bill, that was a funny story, there is is joke just waiting to be born in that story, James
That is so funny because many times young kids will ask me if I have pot on me...Last year on the beach a couple of stoners where walking around on the beach and came across me and said to me oh this guy must have a joint and a light...I said no guys sorry...And last month I was at a local bar with my friend and I had played some real pop-rock song that I liked and sat down at the bar...When the song came on, some guys were asking who played this song? and look towards me and his friend said NO WAY look at him he must have played Metallica on! I replied Oh yes I did play it and they started to laugh...It's amazing the stereotype long hair guys gets...But it's all in fun most of the time.
Funny!
I was asked "Are you hungry?" today, too.
I was at a Denny's I frequent for lunch and coffee. A woman approaches and asks "Are you hungry?", and I reply "Oh, I'm fine. I just ate. Thanks!".
She went back to her table. A moment later, she approaches me again, and seeing my check on the table, offers to pay it for me, and asks if I am religious.
I introduce myself, and she introduces herself as Elizabeth, and we have a brief conversation.
After that, she proceeds to pay my check and mentions that Jesus told her to pay my check. I gave Elizabeth a big friendly thanks for the kind offer.

There's a couple of those in my neck of the woods too. Some of the nicest people you'll meet. Give you the shirt off their back and not think twice of it.
Oren, the next time you see her could ask if jesus would pay my mortgage?
YES there are still decent folks in the world
Yep, maturity goes a long way.
