So this happened at work today

Customer: Oh my gosh, you're so beautiful.
Me: Oh, thanks
Customer: But why aren't you wearing a wig?
Me: Umm what?
Customer: It's really deterring from your beauty. You could be truly beautiful if you wore a wig.
Me: I'm completely comfortable with who I am and don't feel the need to hide it by wearing a wig, thanks.
Customer: Oh you're just being stubborn.
Me: No, actually I've been bald since I was two years old and I like myself the way I am.
Customer: But just imagine. If you had long blonde hair you could be a model.
Me: I don't need hair to be a model.
Customer: You need to think about your future. Models make a lot of money you know. Will you just think about wearing a wig?
Me: Not a chance.
Customer: It really is such a shame..
Me: Great. Awesome. Thanks for your input.
Customer: Just think about it.
Me: No. *walks away*

Who the hell does she think she is? She doesn't even know me. Honestly, the nerve of some people.

And I looked so cute today tooo! <3 Hahaha

I love it when society attempts to push their opinion of normal : )
Nicely handled!

Wow. I will never understand why some people think they have the right to comment on someone else's appearance, never mind to not take the hint after your first response! The number of assumptions people make are astounding. This person assumed you couldn't make your own decision, assumed you would even want to be a model, assumed that hair is the only path to beauty, assumed you would appreciate her comments, and on and on. I really love your response. So many people can learn from your encounter.

Great story. I love being bald still more. Thanks for your support for all who doubt the beauty of baldness.
