Quick rant at stupid remarks

Posted by: Rasher on 08 January 2004

Walked into the office after getting my hair cut, to be greeted by the receptionist with "Oh, you've had your hair cut"!
So...was I supposed to act surprised? Did I not know that I just had my bloody hair cut? Was she thinking to herself out loud? So I say "er, well, yeah, I have...." Roll Eyes
It's like when you have a baby, and you get cards through the post all saying "It's a Girl"!!! Well, thanks, but I already bloody know it's a girl - are you telling me something I didn't know? Jeeze Mad

Wrong, its a comparative: he is Rasher than others....

Anyway.

I find that a good response to smart comments is to affect deafness and keep saying "Pardon? Pardon? Speak up...." etc

I presume against all pc-weighted odds that the receptionist was a woman.

"You've had your hair cut" is ellipsis.

In full it reads,

"You've had your hair cut and I have had the decency to notice the fact so that the time and money invested in getting it cut didn't go to waste. It looks nice."

BTW, women like it when you notice such things and woe betide you if you don't...

Steve.

Your profound insights into that universal enigma that is Woman continues to educate and astound us all.

Well done.

Yeah - it certainly seems to be women who notice these things, but you get real brownie points for noticing it...

Me being partially sighted - I got massive points when I noticed my mate had dyed her hair (subtly) last week Smile

This is just for Domf, nobody else....

Domf,
ask the next woman you meet if she's had her hair cut, and tell her it looks nice (even if you don't think its been cut............)

Trust me on this........

I think they'd probably think I was mad - unless I already knew them Smile

Given your lack of smilies I can't presume that you are being sarcastic. Wink

A limb probably... Wink Seriously it's hard enough making women think I'm not insane without opening my gob, due to nystagmus... Saying something like that would seal the deal!
