Should I...

[Bastet]

I just checked back to see if you'd made your decision. I must have missed this when you first posted it. I'm glad you decided to go for it. I really liked it shaved! So what kinds of comments have you been getting about the new you?

Well, the look on my boss's face was a pisser when he first caught a glimpse of me the day after I did it -- something like this -- accompanied with a rather feeble "You don't do things by halves, do you?" Apparently the look on his son's face (who is doing a half-arsed job of running both stores), was funnier, but I missed that.:biglaugh: But neither of them have come up to me to shake their finger and say "Grow it back!", so I guess they don't mind that much.

Most of the people I work with saw it when I originally did it 18 months ago, so they didn't say much more than "Oh, you shaved it off again! Do you like it then?". Only one person has wanted to cop a feel of my noggin, which is pretty good, really (I let her, cause she would have just annoyed the crap out of me till I said yes anyway).

Mostly the comments from customers have been good, for example:

Little Old Lady: "I see you took it all off again, dear. Well, I think it really suits you and looks lovely!"

American Tourist: "Excuse me, you must get this all the time, but I just wanted to say that I love your hair! Some people just don't have the head for it, but it looks great on you!"

et cetera...

One of my friends told me I look like a cancer patient, but I didn't take offense lol. I had one customer last week ask me if I'd done it for charity, or if I just liked it. I told him I just liked it, and he said it looked great, and I said I'd had mainly positive comments from people about it, although one of my friends told me I look like a cancer patient. The customer laughed and said "Oh well, could have been worse...he could have told you you look like a raving lesbian!" I could hardly take offense at that, so I winked at him and said that wasn't far off the mark, and did he think my new hairdo would help me pick up chicks? :flirt: He just laughed and we kept chatting while I finished making his coffee.

On the downside, I have had a few customers who seem to think that because of my new hairdo, that I'm some sort of head-kicking Neo-Nazi, and try to pick fights with me for no apparent reason. They argue over the stupidest of things (even while I'm busily trying not to argue back, they will literally follow me to continue arguing), and claim I am "aggresive" and have "attitude", even when I have neither. Ah, the joys of people who make snap judgements purely from someone's appearance... Knockout

Annoying sh*ts aside, I'm happy I did it.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw your picture. I'm sure I don't have the head for it. Your head would have to be very well-shaped. Mine's not. I need my hair to disguise it!

The customer laughed and said "Oh well, could have been worse...he could have told you you look like a raving lesbian!" I could hardly take offense at that, so I winked at him and said that wasn't far off the mark, and did he think my new hairdo would help me pick up chicks? :flirt: He just laughed and we kept chatting while I finished making his coffee.

Good come-back.

Aussies have a lot of practice at that
