I'm all lopsided and my left and right feel confused.

I've had my hair cut this evening and the hairdresser put my parting on the wrong side.

I feel all back to front. I even had to really concentrate on driving on the way home. It's like the whole way I move is the wrong way round.

I had noooooo idea it could have such an effect.

Please tell me I'm normal.

I tried changing my parting the other day-it felt very odd despite looking fine.But it did keep flopping all over my face.
Lol at you feeling lopsided....you are weird!

fishie · 08/05/2008 22:19

why did they do that? has your parting been hitherto wrong and you didn't know? crisis indeed.

ahundredtimes · 08/05/2008 22:21

No you are not normal. Very weird.

You couldn't drive because your parting was in the wrong place?

Move it back?

ahundredtimes · 08/05/2008 22:21

Not the car, the parting. FGS don't get back in the car and move it anywhere until you have resolved this follicle oddity.

"You couldn't drive because your parting was in the wrong place?"

I know. It's deeply weird. I would scoff at hearing someone else say the same. Well, I could drive, just felt wrong. Like I was on the wrong side of the road. Getting slowly used to it but still feel all unbalanced.

Can't change it back cos fringe is sloping, so it wouldn't be right.

Even using phone on "wrong" ear.

i am really confused now, what is a sloping fringe? picturing gregor fisher.

bran · 08/05/2008 22:29

Did you not tell her what side the parting should be on? Or did you fancy a change?

LOL at not being able to drive.

ahundredtimes · 08/05/2008 22:30

I am picturing Hitler actually.

Perhaps that was his problem too?

Take it easy Pea, no grand plans now, not until you've washed your hair.

PeaGreene · 08/05/2008 22:30

LOL just googled gregor fisher, yeah that's me!

No, really, at least the fringe bit is normal. To my eyebrow on the right then slopes down to the other side. REally standard cut in that respect.

what happens if you have a middle parting? should i get sandbags out?

PeaGreene · 08/05/2008 22:42

Sandbags? Don't get it. I know centre partings don't suit me but I don't think my looks could cause a flood!

I'll have a go of different options when I wash it. Am currently resisting ideas of just having fringe cut straight across....

fishie · 08/05/2008 22:47

i had a side parting till i was about 25, then went middle with fringe and now no fringe. am curly though so have greater worries than fringe placement.

i still can't see why hairdresser would put parting in wrong place, didn't they ask? maybe you have a very symmetrical face and hsould have a middle parting?

ahundredtimes · 08/05/2008 22:51

Yes agree v. bad practice not to ask, unless you have left/right ishoos generally and pointed to which side of your head you wanted it, but were confused because looking in the mirror?

In which case, I am not totally convinced by the idea of you behind the wheel?

Fishie was developing a bunker mentality with the sand bags I think.

PeaGreene · 08/05/2008 22:56

it's my own fault. She put the parting on this side, then said "ooh, sorry you go on the other side don't you" so I said, "hey, let's live dangerously and have a change"...

LOL re Adolf. I'm just off to invade Poland... Now thats living dangerously, but I didn't think I was being literal earlier on!
