Today, I went to the mall and was persistently asked to try one of the curling irons at a kiosk. I don't like to use heat on my hair, but I reluctantly agreed. The iron burned off a good chunk of hair from the back of my head. FML
suuoerwholock tells us more.
OP here. This had actually happened a few months ago so my hair is grown out to the point where it's not really that noticeable now. I have roughly 3 feet of hair and I am asked almost every single time I walk by any kiosk that has to do with hair to try out their product. To the people saying that I shouldn't have "caved in"-- I had already walked past this kiosk 3 or 4 times and didn't see any harm in a couple of curls.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sorry but YDI. It would've been simple to say no thank you and go on about your business

can you report her? I mean it depends on the situation, like she could've been incompetent and didn't pay attention to the heat setting or what she was doing. but then again, I'm not sure how you would report a kiosk sales person.

This is why we can't trust people. Then again YDI since you gave in.

May I ask why you didn't just tell the person why you don't like to use them?

I wear a Hijab (islamic head cover) so they never bother me when i walk by lol, but the other ones (creams and such) I just put a scowl on my face before I walk by and ignore them :p
