OMG I was SOOOOO embarrassed!

[MissFallon]

Today I went to the doctor to get some tests done. I had to get an MRI of the brain also. I wore my hair with my phony pony not thinking anything of it. Well when the technologist came out to get me he proceeded to tell me to take off my jewelry and if I had anything metal on such as bobbypins or hair bands with the metal on it. I said no forgetting about the cascade of curly fake hair on top of my head. Then he proceeds to say "what is that?" pointing to my hair. He asked me if I had any pins in my hair and I said no again. Then I finally said its a "clippy thingy" He then told me I had to remove it. Mind you this is one of those uppity diagnostic centers with nothing but white ppl and I was not taking my hair off in front of all of these people. But I had to. I was soooooo embarrassed. I took my hair down and then put it into a low ponytail and then he told me I had to take the ponytail holder off too. I was walking around the clinic in a blue gown with my hair all over not looking cute looking like a crackhead. After I thought about what had just happened I could only laugh. That was one of those experiences I never saw coming. I think I'm going back to the bun to save myself the embarassment (lol unless the next doctor looks at the donut and says "what is that"....I may just fall out laughing next time)

ETA: All I could think of was "aww man I shoulda kept that sew-in in"

Wat can u do but laugh at that....

 

[CandiceC]

Too funny!

I hope your test results turn out good! Keep us posted on that.

This is too funny...Luckily it did not happen at the airport! I got held up at security once because my jaw clip has metal teeth. I was heading home to Cali and was going to get a relaxer there. I was looking rough, but my hair was neatly hidden in the jaw clip. If I had to take it off, it would have been over! I would have been looking crazy and embarassed! The security agent was a black man. He started to ask me to remove it, and then he thought again and said "Nah, you probably don't want to take that off, huh?" I said no, so understanding a sistah's plight, he let me pass that time. But watch out at the airport. You wouldn't want to be forced to remove a phony pony with a metal clip in it. Walking around a hospital is one thing, but in the airport--no way!!!!

Thanx for the warning....I'm going on a trip in 2 weeks and sure was gonna wear my phony pony. Guess I'll wear my hair down instead.

 

[ubavka123]

No problem. Just pack it in your suitcase--wear it on the trip, just not on the plane.

[ubavka123]

Wasn't I lucky though? He was very cool. My hair was a mess under that clip with all the new growth and everything. I shiver now to think of myself standing there with my hair just sticking out everywhere with everybody staring at me because they want the line to keep moving!

The same thing almost kind of happened to me when I went to the dentist to have my wisdom teeth removed. When I laid back in the chair with my phony pony on, I noticed that I couldn't lay on it properly without the comb poking me in the head. This asian nurse noticed my discomfort, but did not realize that it was a phony and told me that I could take my hair down and I was like "Nooo." Then she tried to help me adjust it. I was like, "No, no, I can do it!" She still tried to help by pulling it back and almost ripped it off of my head!! I started hearing my baggie crinkle under it!! I finally just accepted the discomfort and grabbed it before it could come off and told her I was fine. But every time I moved to try and adjust it when she wasn't looking, she kept trying to come and assist me! At first, I thought she realized that it was fake because she said, "Oh, uh, your hair is beautiful!" But I think she was just clueless because she insisted on continuing to try to get me comfortable until I just held still. Uncomfortable pony and novicane (spelling?) shots....not fun! Oh, the horror!!!

i am glad you too that like a champ. But the walking around looking like a crack head part had me laughing. I am glad you can laugh at it now too! sorry you had to go through that!

 

[sareca]

@ "looking like a crackhead."

I dance salsa. Once I decided to wear a phony (don't know what I was thinking). It straight flew off my head and landed in some girl's lap. She jumps up screaming like it was alive. Then kicked it. Hard and far! I was like WTH? I was so embarassed. But her screams momentarily distracted people from my tow-up head.

But it doesn't end there. The worse part is, in salsa you don't stop dancing until the song's over. So, I had to keep dancing w/ my head looking crazying and my phony beat down laying in the corner.

 

[jasmin]

I'm sorry but I had to laugh.

 

[MissFallon]

Well to get in the MRI machine you have to have your head flat and can't have anything in your hair which I didn't know. After he kept asking if I had bobby pins in and I kept saying no he then asked me. He was a Jamaican guy with dreds who thought he knew something

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! OMG Sareca! That is HILARIOUS!! I can't believe she KICKED IT

 

[Mestiza]

This whole thread has me LMAO!

 

[sareca]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! OMG Sareca! That is HILARIOUS!! I can't believe she KICKED IT

She kicked it FAR! I only remember the initial scream then hearing something yelled something over and over really fast in Japanese or Chinese (she was Asian)... then FOOM my pony launches across the room. People were trying to calm her down, but she wasn't having it! You'd think I'd thrown a dead cat on her or something.
