Today, while out shopping with friends, I was apphrehended by two bounty hunters because they recognized my purple-dyed hair. Too bad my name isn't Natalie, who apparently shares the same hair color. They didn't believe me, even after I showed my ID. FML

Hey,ya'll! OP here! Of course I forgot to actually log in before I posted this, and THEN it gets published! But please believe me :) So follow up, these bounty hunters did end up leaving me alone without actually bringing me anywhere (trust me, they would have had some claw marks if they had!) They DID pull out handcuffs, which was pretty scary, seeing as I've never even had so much as a speeding ticket on my record. T_T They asked me multiple times if I was Natalie, and if "I was sure I wasn't" after I showed them the ID that clearly says Mackenzie...I'm pretty sure, guy? Other than the purple hair, they didn't even know what the girl looked like. The only other thing they went off was that she was with a guy wearing a black hat (Thanks, Kyle!) But, at the end of this conversation, they ended up backing away with their hands up after my best friend so eloquently stated she wasn't "afraid to cut a bitch." Their only reply was "I believe you..." I did end up calling the cops to make sure they weren't absolutely full of it. The police planned on making a patrol to the grocery store across town they mentioned their next lead was. And my friends who were working at the time weren't too happy about me getting harassed either! I found out after I posted to Facebook that one of the guys used to work for a friend and that he has gotten in trouble for pulling idiotic stunts before! Guess he shouldn't quit his day job! You guys are all hilarious, btw!! These comments are really making me laugh. My friends say I should go as myself for Halloween next year and when people ask who I am, I'll just say "Shhh, I'm Natalie..." I really was pretty shaken up at the time, but IS a hilarious story in hindsight. Thanks for reading! :)

I wonder what they do when their target has black hair

Since obviously everone with purple hair is the same person. I'm sorry OP, I hope they let you go without too much trouble

I'd sue like a mother ******. Seriously. You have a good case. You'd get some money.

Did they freeze you in carbonite?

I expect compliments on my brown/blonde/purple hair! And I get them!

.... Well shit I have purple in my hair and I'm Natalie......

I hope you know you guys are all full of infinite awesomeness! I've been on this site for probably 6 years, but I've never posted or commented before. This community of users is really quite enjoyable ^_^ Thanks for all the hilarious comments!

Uh hello! Look at my profile pic. I have purple hair and I don't have people harassing me. If you really need to judge a person by their hair color, you should just lock yourself inside your house.

Time for a good lawyer. In most jurisdictions what they did is considered kidnapping. I'd say that you should be able to get a nice check out of it.I

I didn't think bounty hunters still existed. Glad it all worked out OP!

Sure they do, it's sometimes easier to find someone in this way, than just leaving it to the police, when the case is not that big.

Well, I'd expect that bounty hunters wouldn't come after me just for having a different hair color.
