A cautionary tale

[serene]

Someday, if you wear your hair in a bun on top of your head, this may happen to you:

You'll be cleaning your kitchen and put a bunch of yucky liquids together into a bowl to pour down the sink drain as soon as you empty the sink of its dishes.

The water for your boyfriend's TheraFlu will boil, and you will reach into the cupboard for a cup, knocking some glass bowls over in the process and breaking two of them.

You will bend down to clean up the broken glass, and your hair will knock the bowl of garbage water ONTO YOUR HEAD!!!!!!!

It will take you a nice, long, hot shower to get over this, and your boyfriend will forget to take TheraFlu because he's too busy cleaning up after you.

So don't wear your hair in a bun on top of your head.

Not laughing at you, but at the thought that either C or I would do this to ourselves. Without the need for having our hair in a bun.

Oh, no reason not to laugh at me. It was pretty funny. :-)

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.

I am very very sorry this happened to you, but very very happy you posted it because I am laughing really hard.

Teach you to cancel a perfectly good social plan!

This was an important cautionary tale after my dreams of cute hairstyles last night.

Ack! I stuff my hair down the back of my shirt, personally. It's a bit itchy, but it usually stays put.

Normally, unless it's *really* cold, I can't bear to wear my hair down, much less in my shirt. My neck gets hot and I become just miserable. (Which is kind of odd, because in general, I'm not one of those people who always feels warm -- it's just my neck.)

[pameladean]

There are all sorts of seemingly comfortable and harmless things that I can't stand, so I get this.

Well, um, you told it very entertainingly, anyway.

I have not yet experienced this issue. Normally what occurs is that my necklaces/lanyard/shirt/coat/purse-strap/what-have-you will get caught in the hairsticks or flowered hairpins I use to keep my hair up. oncomfortable, that

Have you ever poked anyone in the eye with them? I have.
