Today, a crazy woman grabbed my hair and mentioned how lovely it was. She then asked when I would donate it. I told her I didn't want to, at which point she started yelling that she was going to get some scissors and cut it all off to teach me a lesson. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my mum started yelling at me for leaving scissors on my desk, which my five year-old sister found and chopped all her hair off. She had a lump of hair as proof. After three minutes of her yelling, me crying and apologizing, she laughed and said she was joking. She'd just given my sister a haircut. FML
Today, I let my friend cut my hair and after a few minutes, she looked at what she had done and then she ran out of the room, laughing. FML
Today, a woman was standing in front of me in line. There was a strand of hair on her back, so to be nice, I pulled it off her. It was still attached to her head. FML
Today, an incredibly rude woman came in for a hairdressing appointment. I had to put up with being yelled at and called a "clumsy bitch," a "pleb," and other insults for almost half an hour. When I finally managed to finish her hair, instead of tipping me, she spat at my feet and stormed out. FML
Today, I got a haircut. I wanted three inches cut off. When the lady finished, she had cut off everything but three inches of my hair. FML
Today, my barber repeatedly threatened to stab me with scissors while I was getting my hair cut. FML
Today, as I was getting my nails done at a salon, the owner pulled my head back against the chair in front of all the customers and began to tweeze my eyebrows. When I exclaimed that I didn't pay for that service, she replied, "I don't care. This needs done." FML
Today, I woke up to my bratty younger sister cutting through my hair with a pair of scissors. I now look like a freak, and my mum bitched me out for being angry, all because my sister claimed she'd been sleep-walking. Her demented smirk said otherwise. FML
Today, a crazed woman started screaming at me at the dog park. She was saying that I was cruel and unfit to be a pet owner, and she ought to kick my ass. My dog's ears and tail were cropped before I even got him. He’s a rescue and came to me like this. She wouldn’t listen and followed me to my car. FML
Today, my therapist told me that I need to do something different with my hair. Then I paid her. FML

That's a hairy situation if you ask me ;P

"That's a ____" situation comments really are not all that funny.

It was better than a shitty situation pun, but only by a hair

Sometimes I like to pretend that's not a real song.

I wonder what lesson you would learn from her cutting your hair off O.o
Grenith 21
She was hoping humility... I think.

That it's safer to stay at home and watch Netflix.
DropTheDaggerxx 31
Sounds about right, 41. I used to have really long hair and it's amazing how many people see that as an invitation to touch it! Though when I went to cut it and it get it donated, the hairdresser actually tried to talk me out of it because she didn't want to ruin what she called beautiful hair. You can never win, OP. Stay inside, or wear a hat. Or avoid crazy-ass ladies. Maybe all 3.
lexiieeex3 32
Some people with really long hair donate it to children with cancer or people with lupus. I did that when I was in 5th grade. Some people just aren't ready to do something so drastic but regardless of all if that, this woman sounds crazy. Run OP. Run.
coold_5 16
That does sound crazy!!
applebramble 22
More like psycho

I'd learn that I was capable of murder because I'd take those scissors and stab that bitch! I'll admit, my hair is definitely my security blanket and I'd freak if someone were to cut it.
FemskyD 26
Theres "special" people on this earth :) be carefull, but heey you ve obviously got pretty hair!
Kamon97 23
I wouldn't say special I'd say completely utterly bonkers!!!
allie2590 31
Fyl OP. I HATE it when people touch my hair. *shudders*
OhWhoCares 42
I hate people touching me. *shudders*
jazzy_123 20
A lot of people hate it. I don't haha I'm so used to it now that I don't even notice. My hair is curly and soft so girls always touch it but if it's a stranger I just stare at them lol
myoukei 31
#85 i feel your pain. If you have natural hair and are growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood people act like they've never seen curls before. (Because nappy hair is apparently this magical foreign concept)
JazNim17 18
Works the other way around, too. Being a white girl with long straight hair and living in a community that's 60 percent black means that I'm going to get my hair touched. I've never had a white person ask to touch my hair, but for some reason black people do.
jazzy_123 20
haha yay I'm not alone. But actually the reason they touch ny hair so much is because it's NOT nappy. it's really soft and thin and that's what they like. In the summer it will get puffy giving it a nappy look but not really and the only time it does get nappy is if I don't wash it for a couple of days but I almost never do that.
lanah_fml 10
Well atleast you have nice hair
bobbyguy 17
If you want to get them to stop start yelling "RAPE" and "HELP! IM BEING KIDNAPPED" they will run and you will not be bothered
Welshite 39
Nah. You don't have to worry about that if you get duct tape on them quick enough.
ohjoy15 33
@#7 Apparently in schools now, they're teaching kids when you come across a nutcase, you yell "FIRE" and not "HELP"/"IM BEING KIDNAPPED"/"RAPE" etc. Because studies show people usually don't want to get involved and less will actually respond to anything along the lines of "help me". Smh at the world. I'd help. :(
negb 30
21 - so it is true that that's what they're teaching now. I don't think that it's that people don't wanna help, I think it's more so they think it's a joke or they're scared they'll get hurt as well.
speakersboom 19
What if there's a fire? Should I yell "rape"? .-.
lexa1love 16
The study cites that people choose not to get involved if they don't have to, but a fire might involve them or destroy their belongings so they are more likely to react.
inner_peace 19
It's sad how self-absorbed we are today, isn't it?
OhWhoCares 42
It probably has something to do with all these immature dumbass tween/teens/general idiots who will scream "RAPE!!!1" "HELP ME!" and of course "I NEED AN ADULT!!!" out in the general public when screwing around with friends. It's sad but I'm nearly desensitized to those words. I'm in high school right now with idiots who 'scream' that shit daily. If it sounded like a person was in serious pain, that'll probably grab my attention. A person in pain sounds different from people who are being stupid.
anonymuse_fml 31
Part of it isn't so much that people don't want to get involved, but there's an actual syndrome for it. I can't quite recall the name, but in more populated areas, people don't help because they think someone else will. It's a mental compulsion that people actually have to fight. There was a murder several decades ago where around 61(?) people heard the victim call out, but no one helped because everyone thought someone else would go and call the police or would be closer to help. The more people that are around, the worse it gets. That's why in first aid, they train you to single someone out like "hey. You with the green shirt. Call 911" cause if you just say "someone call 911", no one actually will. As for calling "Fire" instead, everyone likes gawking at fires and there's no limit on how many people can stand around and watch. So it grabs attention better.
blissmiss17 16
Ah yes, I believe you're thinking of the bystander effect!
Holy_Schnikes 23
Someone told her daughter to yell "They have a bomb" if anyone tries to grab her. She said it would guarantee attention from everyone.
SiriusOrionBlack 20
it's too true that people do sometimes yell things like "RAPE" jokingly, especially teenagers. in middle school, a friend of mine would yell it all the time when we were goofing around. of course, we later found out that, at the time, he was being molested by his father at home, so maybe there was a good reason for it.

I bet you're a ginger.
ThatFancyPenn 18
I bet you're a douchebag.
glabberfasted 16
Why is this getting down voted? It's probably true. As a ginger myself, I can say I get WAY too many people who think they can touch my hair because it's so "beautiful." Every other red head I know experiences the same thing.
inner_peace 19
What should hair color have to do with this?
iSativa 24
@thatfancypenn I'll bet your extremely ugly in real life. That's why you don't show your face in your profile picture. You've already proven that you're an asshole. @glabberfasted I'm also a ginger. I get amazing comments on my hair and people have told me that its good luck to rub my hair. Although I've never had a crazy lady try and steal it from me, haha.
chocolatefrog28 29
I feel your pain, OP. I've had strangers come up and drape my hair over their own heads, asking if they could have it... Let no bad happen.
jarobjent 17
This comment just made my day.
skyeyez9 24
That is a good way to get lice. Their hair could be infested and then transfer some to you.
rybaby23 8
That is such a creepy compliment! Sorry about all the crazies in this world OP! Sleep with one eye open tonight!
SgtAssCheeks 21
Being told you have nice hair is creepy? It's actually kinda flattering. Shadier things have been complimented before...
kirrra 11
I think #10 meant it was creepy to compliment ops hair and insist donating it.. which takes a simple compliment to a whole new level.
katties 27
@24 ...no, being told that you have nice hair is nice, but it's creepy when someone 1) touches it - especially when it's a person you don't know 2) insists on you donating it 3) threatens to cut it off
SgtAssCheeks 21
Ah yes, my bad I see what you guys did there and I agree. Have my thumb up for the clarity!
