this may sound a bit strange but i had someone tell me yesterday in a very insulting manner that i look like a caveman anyone else get this? anyone know of any good comeback for it? lol this is a first, i just take it as a sign that my hair is getting really noticabaly LONG
that's one of the rudest things I've ever heard! Was it a stranger or a friend? I've never been called a caveman but, quite a number of people have told me that I look like a wrestler. (Some said it in a bad way, others in a good way.)
I get the "Here comes Mountain Mattie" all the time, and now it has become a term of endearment with my coworkers. Take it in stride, and as long as they don't tell you that you smell like a caveman, you'll be just fine.

I think the most insulting thing that has happened to me was at lunch time at work.
I went with friends to the foodcourt at work, Located at the base exchange. I work on a military base, with long hair. I said I need cash, I'll be right back. The cash machine is near the "barber shop". Two guys are sitting out front on a bench, I am not sure if they meant it in a nasty way or not, but one says "Hey you really need to get in there" and motions to the door. I had a pretty bad day, and just gave him the finger and keep going.
I never thought about it before, but the cash machine is in plain sight of the barber shop, which has big windows. I realized how many of the poor guys in there that have to keep such short hair, look at me with an envy or something. It kinda makes me feel sorry for them.
It's amazing how you stuck through it, through thick & thin!
Ya, I do, and the only people that have given me any problems, are civilian people, who work on the base. None of the military folks have ever been rude.
That is the weird thing.
Been called a hippy, a girl and several other things.
Got what I considered a morale booster today. I was passing this school just as the kids were coming out after classes. I first passed to teenaged boys, and heard one ask, "Do you think I would be able to grow mine that long?" Then passed a group of girls. One of them obviously had remarked (though I didn't hear it) that my hair was longer than hers, because her friend replied rather loudly - "Well, it's longer than mine, so of course it's longer than yours!" Made me feel real good.
