Now, I don't like to use caps lock, but this is so outrageous, I can't resist:
WHY THE HELL IS IT THAT WHEN A WOMAN IS GROWING HER HAIR OUT, SHE HAS "A NEW HAIRSTYLE", BUT WHEN A MAN GROWS HIS HAIR OUT IT'S A MULLET?!!
Sometimes short-haired people really bug me. They really, really bug me. My friend asked me, "Are you proud of your mullet?" I said, "A mullet is VERY SHORT on the top and VERY LONG at the back!" Then I drew a picture of a man with a mullet and showed him.
This gets so old.
LOL!
One of my friends, who called me a goth for wearing a black shirt, called me a stoner for smoking, decided that I had a mullet, I clearly showed him how my bangs were long, and said "See, it's not a mullet, the hair in the front is actually longer than in the back, a mullet would be short in front and long in the back." He replied, "Ok mr. mullet"
I am no longer friends with him (Not because of this thing, he was just an obnoxious person who I had little in common with), or with any of the people I used to hang out with. If this friend is just a friend that you would rather not talk to, don't hang out with him anymore.
I hear you man! I have grown to hate short haired people (Some of them are ok but most just have their stupid discriminating comments to us) I too have had 'mullet' yelled out from vehicles or even in person when in reality it is SO obvious that it is NOT a mullet. Some people can be so ignorant. But the classic 'get a haircut you hippie' comments arent any better.
When I tried growing my hair out in the 9th grade (many years ago), what I always heard was criticism of my "dreadlocks." Being white, and having only slightly wavy hair which I combed several times daily, you can see my perturbation. At the end of the day, though, people are just stupid and that's how it is. It's a fact of life which makes little islands of common sense like this board so absolutely necessary.

I've done grown used to the mullet jokes by now and don't let them bother me. My bangs come all the way down past my chin now but because I usually keep them tucked behind my ears I hear all kinds of mullet comments. I don't anybody knows what a mullet is. I was watching pop-up video the other day and during one of the creed videos a pop-up bubble said 100% mullet pointing at their lead singer. Dee Snider is the definition of a mullet. I woulden't be surprised if even when my hair is mid-back length I still hear mullet comments. I think short-haired people think and guy with long hair has a mullet.
