I don't know about you, but its one of the most pissing off moments in your life when people point out that you have thin hair. Especially the cursed ones like me, who are blessed to eternally have right amount of thin hair, so that the thinness is visible only when your hair is wet and you are standing under bright sun. Even people who are actually bald will not go through these worst confrontations. Nothing is more irritating than a guy exclaiming amidst a crowd of friends pointing at your hair, and screaming - "Duude ! Everything is visible mann !!". Seriously guys, do you really think, the guy who you are pointing at, doesn't know it. Its his *head dammit.
So coming to the post. Here are some ways to respond to people who point out that you are losing hair.
1. "Thank you.. (Look at the person with gratefulness in your eyes and face and after a pause say) Christopher *Columbus!"
2. Some people have a different way to start this. "Is you father bald?" (Now even though you know exactly why he is asking this, just keep a curious face and ask 'why' was he asking that). "No, its just that you have thin hair, so if your dad is bald, you will go bald too" (Great find Sherlock! With a sarcastic puzzled look) Oh really ?!, then... Your Dad used to be gay too ?"
3."Thats Ok. At least unlike you, I still have my brain left."
"Looks like you are losing hair"
4. Sometimes even old guys who are almost completely bald will try it on you. To them you could say - "Yeah.. It should be awesome being you! you don't have anything left to lose"
5.Yeah no worries, its just the autumn season. It'll be back in spring. (Then if he looks at you with a confused look, give a horror stare and ask - "YOURS DOESN'T ?!!", who knows he might even get scared!).
6. Thanks for finding that out man! I had no *idea. Can you give me money so I can buy a non-bald-proof mirror? please?
I would really like to add more to this list. Please contribute in the comments :)
Ohh these are actually good ways to tackle unwanted questions. Girls like me have come across people who wants to know 'when' I'll get married, 'when' I'll have a kid...etc...actually I wonder by the qn 'when' whether they want to know the exact time and date or something... What to say... I should adopt something from this post as well ;)
ReplyDelete..Or they should say "I have just tried the invisble hair gel.. I loved it so much and now they want me to endorse it"
ReplyDelete@Anita Thanks. Don't even get me started on people who keep poking into when we are getting married :P
ReplyDelete@Nithya :)

Nice post dude... I have a different problem altogether. My hair is graying. :( And people have the most annoying things to say when they want to point it out.
ReplyDelete"Is that CHALK on your hair?" - This is the most irritating one.
I reply by giving the same expression as the person and saying - "Is that COAL on yours?"
