To not believe my colleague's story (but to just be amused by itt)

[NewAtThisMalarky]

I've cut my own hair for the last few years, and last week was speaking to a colleague about getting my hair cut professionally - my appointment was yesterday afternoon. She asked what I was thinking of getting done, and I told her.

Yesterday morning I go into work, and she has had her hair cut in the exact style I told her I was thinking of getting.

I told her I liked her hair, and she said that the hairdresser had told her she'd dreamt of cutting my colleagues hair shorter and how great it had looked in her dream - and my colleague agreed to have it done just as the hairdresser had dreamt.

I told a friend and she was livid on my behalf - but I think it's quite funny - especially with the 'dream' story.

You can call it the Martin Luther King cut.

She sounds a bit bonkers to me!!

She sounds like a stone cold nutter
I hope you burst out laughing when she told you?

How did you keep a straight face when your colleague was telling you this??

She was laughing in a 'I can't believe I let the hairdresser do that' way - I don't think she got that I was laughing in a 'are you listening to yourself?' way.

You should try telling her next time you're thinking of getting a foot long green mohawk and see what happens

Next time you should describe a bonkers haircut and see if she goes for it.

She sounds totally bonkers :o

First of all for getting the haircut, then for the ridiculous story and lastly for actually thinking it sounded believable.

Weird.

But why is your friend "livid on your behalf"?? Nobody can own a haircut and surely it doesn't bother her how other people have their hair Is your implication that she thinks your colleague "copied" you with a cut you haven't, um, actually got yet?

I can only think of about four hair styles (long; long and layered; bob; short) so it's a bit strange for your friend to be proprietorial about one that you, a friend, are merely contemplating.

Anyway, glad you aren't taking it too seriously and that it's only your friend who minds...

PS Does it suit her? Will you still have yours cut the same way?

Next time say you are going to have a mullet.
