Weird things you're scared of Page 5

And do tell Don - the other half is from when you had your face carved into a mountain

It's funny how some toddlers are afraid of the most random things, e.g. my nephew used to have this DVD that showed a spinning top spinning around, and, when he'd be watching it as a toddler, he'd get up and leave the room, whenever the spinning top came on.

Probably the most ramndom thing, though, was a mate of mine, telling me he used to be scared of flowers, when he was a baby/toddler.

I was sat in the 'waiting area' to have my hair cut today and I realised that I was suffering from butterflies in my stomach.

Odd.

I used to hate going to get my hair cut, especally when I was around 10/11-years-old. I was quite tall for my age back then, so whereas my mates were still going to ther local Barbershop with their Mum or Dad at that age, I used to go on my own, because I looked 2 or 3 years older than I was, and thought I'd look stupid if I had my Mum or Dad with me. The problem this created, was that I'd be left having to cope with a barrage of inane smalltalk from the Barber, all on my own, and I hated it. There's only so much that a middle-aged man and a 10-year-old boy, who have never met, can talk about, but my Barber somehow managed to keep the questions coming, from start to finish. You know the type of thing, "Have you got a girlfriend?" etc? Excrutiating. He was also really slow at cutting, because he'd keep stopping to take gulps of tea.

I despise going to have my hair cut. So much so that I let my mum trim it instead this time.

Been there ^.

My mum once cut the top of my ear quite badly during one cut. I had the 'curtain' hairstyle at the time so it was easy for her to cut it.

Owwww.

My hair is just long and straight so she just had to cut in a line. A monkey could do it!

Possibly.

My teacher once said that my hair 'looked like it had been cut with a knife and fork'.

I was wondering, what's the longest the blokes on here have gone, without having a hair-cut? For me, it's 18 months, back when I was 21/22. I probably would have got it cut sooner, if it hadn't had such a kink/wave in it, which stopped it getting too long down my back. I remember, when the Barber finished, my hair looked like Cousin It, from 'The Addams Family', sitting on the floor. The Barber laughed, saying he could probably sell it to a wig-maker.

Oooh, a good 18 months or so. My curtain hair just grew until it reached my shoulders. It then curled out like a lampshade.

This must be the legendary Scouse wit we all hear so much about. Smarmy

About 3 months when I was 16. I thought it looked really cool and unruly, but it just looked epically shit.

Long hair= cool.

No doubt about it. Even if it is tatty and unkemp, it says 'I look like shite, but I don't give a shite'.

As long as it's clean.
I quite like a scruffy look, but dirty hair is disgusting.

My last visit to the hairdresser was 24th. August 1973 (probably before most of you were born). I HATE hairdressers - they make me feel inferior.
