Health, Awkward and Hair: Fear & Malding

Fear & Malding

By Shaving it off - This FML is from back in 2018 but it's good stuff

Today, when I showed someone my 9-year old passport, she commented, “You look so different! Now you have that Jason Statham thing going on!” My hair goes down to my shoulders; this confirms that my receding hairline is real and it’s time to come to grips. At least I’m over 30. FML

Today, my new passport arrived, along with my expired one and its 20-year-old picture. I was comparing the photos when my husband came to look. He laughed and said, "Time is cruel." FML

Bad hair day

Today, I was fired for having a haircut that was 'inappropriate for the workplace'. I have alopecia. My boss told me to stop making up excuses. FML

Today, I showed by ID to get into a bar and the bouncer kept it because he said it wasn't me. It was. Apparently I've gained so much weight I am unrecognizable. FML

Today, my family took me to a wig store saying I wouldn't feel so insecure about being bald because of my chemo treatments. When I told them I accepted myself and didn't want a wig, they came out and told me THEY couldn't accept it. My own family is embarrassed of me over something I can't control. FML

Today, a guy who I hate commented on my Facebook profile picture that I "look like I've fallen off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down." Sixty people liked this, including my boyfriend and my best friend. FML

Today, my dad decided I was too hairy and taught me to shave. This would be a great bonding experience if I weren't a girl. FML

Piss off

Today, a neo-Nazi stopped me and commented on my blue eyes and blonde hair. He went on to explain that I could be "pure", and should follow him and other Aryans in the campaign to eliminate Jews, and other "abominations". Good thing he didn't see the Star of David necklace around my neck. FML

Suspicious

By StevieMe - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - Canada

Today, I was at work laminating a large photo. While I was doing this, I had a sudden itch on my nut sack. So I quickly scratched it away. When the customer came to pick up the print, I noticed that one of my pubic hairs had laminated itself on the cheek of the woman in the photograph. FML

Today, I was told that I looked like a Kardashian by a total stranger. Flattered, I asked which one. His response? "I don't know, the ugly one." FML

Oh please. At least that said "you have that Jason Statham thing going on" and not "you look like you should be driving a white van with 'free kandy' spraypainted on the side".

yeah, but they're upset that it isn't long all over their head... he's going bald is what he's getting at.

Maybe they meant you'd make a great villain in a movie and should move to Hollywood?

What 9 year old knows who Jason Statham is? Answer: no 9 year old, because this isn’t real

Lots of nine year olds know who he is, and the passport was nine years old, not the person.

That was rude. A lot of people are way too occupied with and judgmental of other people's appearance.

Ever think maybe not everyone's as obsessed with your hair as you are? Statham has a lot of qualities other than a shaved scalp. Maybe she was talking about ruggedness- "You were so wimpy looking! but not anymore, grr!" or maybe about that bitterness he exudes in many roles- she could have been hinting "Yikes your eyes have a lot more pain & anger than before. Try yoga?". Even if she did mean the hairdo so what? She didn't say you look bad, she said you remind her of an actor who is pretty hot.
