Today, I was in a cab having a chat with the driver when he pointed at a girl walking with purple hair and started ranting about how much of a slut she looked. After 5 mins of constant ranting, he finally shut up to which i responded "that's my daughter".FML

Or maybe it's **** him for being such a prejudiced ass against a person he knows nothing about and only base it of hers hair color. I hope you told him how stupid he was. And I hope you really are a proud father.

Damn, my 67yr old grandmother has purple hair. Sorry grandma, I guess you'll have to change your hair colour, cause apparently you look like a ****. In all seriousness though, I think you responded to this situation perfectly. With a simple but clear response like that, he really just put his foot in his mouth and should feel embarrassed. He was tactless, and it came to bite him in the ass, insulting a complete stranger based on something purely aesthetic and his insult doesn't even make sense. I'm sorry but how exactly does someone's hair colour show how promiscuous they are? Apparently you can just look at someone and go "oh, purple hair, she must sleep around." Not that that even matters anyway.

how is this "almost" fml this is total fyl

Look at the bright side, you probably got a free cab ride after that and enjoyed how awkward the driver felt

Why did you let him rant about it for five minutes though?

When some people go off on a rant like that, it's really hard to interrupt and stop them.

OP you sound like an amazing father and a respectful gentleman. You handled yourself so well. And you are absolutely right that when some people get on a rant like that you just can't shut them up. You gotta wait til they run out of hot air before you can introduce them to the facts. I am glad she has a father like you to protect her and love her beyond what is seen with your eyes. I know my daddy loved me but man if he had ever seen my hair a FUN color he would have blown a gasket! And currently it is blue lol

How completely unprofessional and judgemental of him. Would love a follow up with the driver's reaction and whether or not you got a free ride, OP :)
