Just cut my hair lady!

So this weekend I went to get a haircut from someone who had never cut my hair before. The odd scenario went something like this:

Me:Just a heads up my hair is kind of falling out I recently had surgery.

Her: What kind of surgery?

(kind of a personal question I thought)

Me:Weight loss surgery.

Her:Oh, (looks me up and down) so is it working?

Me:Yes, I've lost 80 pounds

Her: Wow, how big were you before?

Her:So is your skin going to get all weird?

Her: (as she holds my hair up) Wow, look at how thin this is?

My desire was to take her scissors and cut her (just a little) Guess I will be going back to my regular stylist.

Wow, how catty and rude of her!

heheheh..the temptation to pick up her sizzors must have been killing you....

some people...really....

of well..bye bye that hairdresser..you get the big delete..on to the next person!

I wonder if some people just have no tact? When those comments are made, I think do you speak to your friends and family in a similar manner?

I not only would have cut her, I would have slit her and dumped that antiseptic solution over her that is used to disinfect her little combs and scissors.

Unbelievable.

Ha! I've run into these types too. Was she normal weight or heavy?

A week before my surgery, I had to have labs done. The order came from Weightwise Bariatrics. The phlebotomist saw the order and then proceeded to tell me about 2 people she had known who had had weight loss surgery. One (according to her) had her health ruined; the other DIED. Sheesh, talk about insensitive.

Sometimes we just have to shake our heads and laugh---and then later vent here.

Anna - that's about the most "unkind" post I have ever read from you. You go girl!!!! You are human like the rest of us. :)

Whoa Mini you are so close to goal!!! That is awesome. And yes I did have some unkind feelings, but mostly I was amused everytime she would say something shocking the stylist next to her would flip around and look, it was nice that I wasn't the only one noticing how odd it was.

And Lisa she was thin and very well put together. It wasn't overly offensive to me because it was so crazy! I have had weird experiences where people want to advise me before, but this was a new one!

Haha, I feel you. You are too blown away by realizing how warped someone's thought process is to have time to be offended....happened to me on a number of occasions!

HaHa, I would have cut her where it REALLY hurts - her wallet. I would have stood up and told her that her verbal incontinence had just cost her quite a bit of money and that it would continue to cost her as I will be spreading the word about her behavior!!!

Blackberry if you need any info I see you about to head to Mexicali I would love to give you any. I had a great experience and hope you do too!

Whoa Mini you are so close to goal!!! That is awesome.

Thanks Anna. I'm feeling pretty awesome. Now that I am getting closer, I think I may drop my final goal to somewhere between 125 and 135. Not exactly sure where I will stop, but I'm sure my body will let me know.

Hard to believe I am really here. Still trying to wrap my head around my new size. I truly think I would have flattened that hairdresser. Good for you for restraining yourself!

Let me guess was she a size 0???

Yeah tall and thin. But as Judge Judy says (I'm ashamed to admit that I love her.) Beauty fades, but dumb is forever.
