Hey all,
Thought I would share this little bit:
I was at work today close to the ending of the work day and me and four other work mates were standing around in the service managers office shootin' the breeze. Now the service manager and two of the other three guys are the ones who razz me most about my hair from time to time, all just in fun though. The service manager looked at me and asked, "What do you think the chances are of you sitting right here in this chair and letting me cut your hair?" to which I replied, "That surely ain't happenin'!" Then one of the other guys produced a box-knife cutter and said to the another, "You got the door held? We're havin' us a hair cuttin'!"
Now they were only joking around, but what kept running through my mind was if they had jokingly wrestled me around and acted as if they were going to slice at my hair (these guys would never intentionally do it) and accidentally got too close and cut some off anyway, ruining the length in one spot. So I kinda backed my way out of the office so I would have a chance to run if they wanted get a little rough. None of those guys could catch me anyway. Especially the one who had the box-knife. He weighs about 320 lbs, where I weigh only 180 lbs. Peace!
Damn, that was a close call.
Personally, I wouldn't have been able to keep my cool, and if they got that close to me, I would have throw a leg out or something - its just a natural instinct. I ain't a vicious person or anything.
If I were you, I'd just go up to them and tell them how uncool that was, and even tho you know (or think) they were joking, they should do that again... seriously uncool.
, they should do that again... seriously uncool.
lol sorry, I meant *shouldn't* ... I don't think them doing that again would be a good idea... lol
Seriously, those guys we're only kidding around with me. I have no need to get emotionally aggressive with them unless they get genuinely serious about it. I can tell the difference. They're good friends. Their just traditionalist who think any upstanding male american should wear their hair short. They don't even agree with a man wearing ear-rings. That is their idea of a man.
Anyway, we all give eachother crap about one thing or another. If they didn't act that way, I would think they didn't like me. LOL! It's just a lot of times we are proned to rough house with eachother. You know, the way guys do. We punch at eachother, or wrestle around with eachother, and in that instance, I was only worried that things might get out of hand and something unintentional MIGHT happen. They never came after me, I was just worried they might, not meaning any harm. No harm, no foul, huh? Peace!
lol sorry I didn't mean to sound like 'yeh go punch them in the face'... was just saying that if i were in that situation with some buddies that i'd probably try back them off with light force - just a little shove.

A similar thing happened to me a few days ago. I was at a party on campus and one guy, for some unknown reason, had one of those hair buzzing tools. The guy, obviously a bit drunk, was making me nervious with his "lets shave some heads" speech. I saw him going up to another long hair and pretending to come at his head with the things. This was too much for me, and I actually felt the need to go into another room. I know that I was probably overreacting, but it still does make the heart beat just a tad bit faster!
but if he touched them to my head he would have died
You should feel very uncomfortable on a college campus and at a party.
Keep the joke going. Tomorrow go into work with a big smile and a box cutter and say to your 320lb buddy, "Lock the door, we're having us a fat cutting party!".
Hair, fat, it's all part of your body, if you don't like too much of one part of one's body then what's wrong with not liking too much of another?
Funny, right?
.
You could also get a short-haired wig and go in one day and say that they changed your mind about having long hair, and then rip the wig off at the end of the day! haha
...worth trying for sure. I'll have to give that one a little thought! Too funny, man! LOL! Peace!
