Today, at the end of my shift with a long line of customers, the older woman I was checking out calmly said, "You should take a minute to fix your hair dear, we have all been talking about it while we waited." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the checkout guy at my local store asked me if I had my hair cut. I answered and started talking about my hair, and he gave me a really weird look. He was talking to his friend, who I hadn't noticed in the queue behind me. FML
Today, I got a haircut, and after thanking the stylist I went up front to pay. The lady behind the counter took one look at me, smiled, and said, "Well, now you'll need a hat." FML
Today, while in line at the grocery store, I was going over the witty but caustic things I wish I'd said in an argument earlier. Turns out, I was saying them out loud. The cashier gave me a weird look and said, “Are you okay, ma'am?” FML
Today, I was at work handling the cash register. It wasn't working correctly, so I apologized to the woman I was waiting on for the delay and explained, "The cash register's being a little retarded today." Then I noticed her clearly "special" adult son standing behind her. FML
Today, I was at the hairdresser's getting a trim. The lady doing my hair commented on how beautiful and luscious my hair was, which made me feel really good. I later overheard her telling her colleague that hair as nice as mine was wasted on someone with a face like mine. FML
Today, I went to a salon. As soon as I walked in, someone ran to me and inspected my hair and said, "We can fix this." I was there to get my daughter's hair done. FML
Today, the last customer of the night shift handed me their money along with a wad of their hair. FML
Today, I got my hair cut. When I was leaving, my stylist was standing fairly close while we were talking. She reached out to smooth out my hair; I went in for a hug. She didn't want a hug. Everyone who was there just stared at me until I left the building. 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, everyone at work commented on how much better my new haircut looked and how I should keep styling it this way as it's such an improvement over my old style. I was late for work this morning. My new hair style was Bed hair that I didn't have time to sort out... FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If a stewardess can look perfect for hours, you can too

What planes are you flying on? My stewardess looks old crusty and sucks on their finger nails waiting for the plane to land so they can take a smoke break and join the pilots for a booze run

Maybe she was going for the grunge look. If Hobos pull it off, she can too!

OP you do realize you made it sound like you were checking out an older woman right?

aw that was nice of the old woman. I think I'd rather someone tell me about how awful my hair looks, rather than go the whole day while people talk about it.

British airways have HOT stewardess... Just saying.

Qatar airways have really hot stewardess too. It's the American ones like united and delta that look like they were peeled off the street.

Who cares what people think! Show off that messy hair with pride! Or reply with, "Maybe, you could give me some pointers? I've always wanted to look like I live in the woods in a tree and bath in the river."

5- not exactly, if op is a cashier and was really busy then she prob had no time to check to see what her hair looked like.

Well, do it then

This is something my grandma would have done but she's a hairdresser

Pete and Repete. I wonder how many people will actually get this reference?
prinzess_fml 25
I think you're the only one here who wasn't smart enough to check the posting times of comments #1 and #2. Think before you speak. Do you get that reference?
slick5880 22
I did notice that. This only goes to show that my statement went over your head. Ignorance is bliss I guess. Pleasant trolling. :)

What about arrogance? "I'm awesome! That's all you need to know about me", says your profile. To you **** off looking at pictures of yourself?

OP found herself in a rather hairy situation now didn't she?
Blueglasscup 18
Man now I wish I knew what OP's hair looked like.
prinzess_fml 25
You don't respect the customers if you look like you came straight out of bed. Plus the lady wasn't rude. On the contrary, she's helping, so that OP won't get any more nasty comments.

What does OP stand for?

Probably "Something about Mary" hair.

People are just rude ass bitches sometimes. Unfortunately, part of dealing with customers is having to take it. FYL, OP.
danishbagel 3
I think NOT telling her would be worse. So yeah, not a "rude ass bitch".
StoryOfTheYear 15
I think the operative word is "calmly". I don't think she was doing it to be rude, but that's just my opinion.
Soreeyeah 17
I think the pArt she says, we have all been talking about it makes it rude :-)

Thats why I hate everyone equally until I know them personally:)

76 - Yeah that's a great way to get NOBODY to like you. I can't even believe you're proud of that. See, I hate you because I know you from that comment.

Shut the **** up
godofcyanide 8
79, you're probably better off following 76's advice than not. The average dude on the street is likely considering you as 76 does, and is too stupid to keep it in check (hence, the rudeness). Most of this "hatred" is disguised jealousy (because most people are mentally dull and materialistic), which is why you get an old lady making a rude, unnecessary comment towards a young person. People are dicks.

dont worry about them! if you like your hair like that then leave it like that and its not like your trying to impress them anyway :L

Don't take it personally. Old people tend to say whatever is on their minds. At least she told you because she could have just kept quiet and laughed.
