I just have to tell you ladies this story! I go to school here in DC, and I went to this convention called "For Sisters Only." I went because Musiq, Joe and Ginuwine

lick.gif
were all there. It was great too except I had a hater
angeldevil.gif
on my hands. She, of course, had to be standing behind me.

Well, this is what went down. I was causally standing near the stage listening to some artist singing while waiting for the good performers to come out.
cool.gif
Anyway, as I was standing there, some chick (with ugly short, broken hair) said can you move your hair, I can't see. Now, first let me give you the hair background before I continue.

I have a relaxer but my hair is thick and I mean really thick. People are surprised when they ask and tell me that I have a a lot of hair (I will post a picture ASAP). Back to what I was saying, So, it is really thick and I washed it but it was not completely dry when I left so of course is got bushier. But, it was still looking good.
grin.gif


So, I was quite bushy however not so bushy that it would limit anyone's site. Beside the girl was like 4'10 and my hair was not the reason she could not see, it was genetics. To continue with the story, I was kind of surprised when she said this and I said no!
laugh.gif
. Then she asked again, and I said what I am supposed to do with it (still a little confused
confused.gif
) because it was down. Then her friend proceeded to hand me a huge dirty rubberband. She must have been crazy if she thought that I was going to put that peace of crap in my hair, especialy since it was not the reason she could not see. My friend has a nature afro and she did not ask her to put her hair away.So, I told her no thank you and proceeded to watch the concert. I figured that I had stood there for 3 hour in some heals and if they had a problem with my head then they should have got there early like I did. People were in front of me who were taller than me, and I had to deal with it, and I guess they have to also. Anyway, it gets better. Then the girl through the rubber band at me.
ooo.gif
I did not feel it; my friend told me. But, I am an educated person and fighting can get you kicked out of school, and I was not having that. So, I let that one go. But, wait there is more. As the concert continued, the girl touched my hair. I hate when people I don't know touch my hair!
mad.gif
I had to get angry ya'll! So, I turned around and told her to keep her hands off me! And get this, she blamed it on her friend!
smirk.gif
So, I told them both. They she did it again. But, I saw who did it this time. The same chick. So, I told her to keep her filthy hands off me, and she said "What are you talking about? Everyone here is touching you." So I told her again to "keep her dirty mites off of me and not everyone was touching me. She was the only one who felt the need to invade my personal space. If she couldn't see that was not my problem. You should have been here earlier like me. So, I turn around again to watch the concert." Then she said what are to going to do "steal on me." My reply was "No, you ain't worth my time." Then she said I guess I better shut up before I guess my a*s beat, and I added that this was a good idea. Luckily, someone pushed there way in front of her and I was not plagued with her mouth or hands any longer. How stupid and rude! All she had to do was ask it she could step in front of me if she could not see, not be so rude. I could see that she was short and there was plenty of space in front of me. People nowadays don't even think of being nice or using common sense. But, once you talk about the hair, I am done being nice. She was really on my bad side when she touched it. She was just hating on my head for some reason!

To get a little off of the subject, people touch my hair all the time and I hate it! This happens a lot, especially with guys. I want to tell them don't touch me you dirty piece of trashy!!
laugh.gif
I think it is rude. I love my hair but I am not your zoo exhibit. At least ask, I probably will say sure but, I am not a publicly funded monument that you can just play with whenever you want.

Whoa! Sorry ladies, I had to blow off some steam! I don't think that my friends understand. But, I know that you ladies will. Hair is apart of your body. If someone you don't know keeps grabbing another part of your body then it is considered harassment so I don't see why hair is different.

So, have you ladies had any hair confrontation or problem with people touching it?
 
Whoa!! I don't blame you for being upset!! Hell, for all you knew, she could have had a little pair of scissors in her hand and been cutting your hair off!!!
whip.gif
 
Well, I was keeping a close eye on her and she didn't do that. If she would have been doing that there would have been a fight!
 
Brittany,

You really exercised self-control because I think that I would have gotten a bit LOUD myself. That girl was really FOUL and her behavior was extremely strange. I see why Lindy made the comment about her having some scissors around...now, that is too scary!

I have to say that I feel just as you do and the comment you made about not being on display like animals in a zoo for others' enjoyment and petting pleasure (paraphrased you here) is how I feel. And, you are right about your hair being an extension of your body and any touching without your consent is straight-up harassment, battery, etc. It's like just get a life and keep your hands out of my hair and to yourself. The only concession I have ever made is for little old ladies who are usually really sweet, kind and give me nothing but compliments. I wouldn't think of getting nasty or even removing a gentle hand of theirs from my hair. But, otherwise, no touching without my consent.

@ the genetics comment, the filthy rubberband offering, and the "dirty mites."

I'm sorry but this is so ridiculous that it just ends up being really funny.
laugh.gif


On a serious tip, though, I'm proud of you for remaining as dignifed as possible in the face of such trashiness. She was incredibly rude, but that foolishness is not worth getting locked up over. You handled the situation very well
smile.gif
 
Well, thank you ladies! I appreciate the support. I was thinking about the scissors thing when I was standing there too, and I was a little worried so, I keep a good eye on her and had my friend watching my back. But, I am glad you guys understand. Why do women have to be so petty? It is really not my fault that I have thick hair, what am I suppose to do? Be bald to accommodate someone's attitude problem.

Jade21- I am glad you feel me on the hair touching thing. Some people like older ladies I don't mind but, I am never lucky enough to get them. I always get some dirty man and just today hating girls.

miss_brown - It is kind of funny, now. I wish you could have seen that rubberband. She must have been nuts! It looked moldy. That was probably what was wrong with her stuff!
 
I am

over here.

See, this is why I hate to go to DC events like that. You always get some little hoodrat who wants to get a major attitude with you. The last time I went these girls behind me kept trying to push me and then one pushed my little sister I was about to go off, but my fiance stopped me and just gave them a "my girl's about to whoop your
censored.gif
" look and they retreated!

You did good to solve this in an exemplerary manner!
smile.gif
 
How rude of her to continue harrassing you after you explicitly told her to stop!
mad.gif


Folks touch my hair also but they are are usually people I'm familiar with. Strangers normally ask and if I sense no ill intention, I agree and let them touch.
 
I agree Ms_kenesha! I don't understand why the women in DC act like that. I hope that I am not offending anyone but, it seems like the women here are the pettiest women i ever met. Them and the men always have something to say to you
 
Hey I'm a native Washingtonian and I was there on yesterday and didn't behave that way. However, DC sistas are known for having an "attitude." Mine comes out occassionally.
