People pose their insults like that so you can't be mad because " I just asked a question"

Just RUDE!

I have no advice because I'm just as Rude back to them. ]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2012 05:43:40 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/how-to-handle-nosy-coworkers_topic351880_post9981014.html#9981014 <![CDATA[How to handle nosy co-workers? : Dang... she was bold af!

I change my hair styles much and I sometimes hate going to work for this reason! There are so many people who are up in my ~* ish and some of them are REALLY annoying

I had this cute afro weave and this Nigerian lady dug her hand in my head before

I knew it saying "OH I thought this was your hair it looks so real!"

I once told this lady -look please if you like the hair just say it looks nice or if you don't, Dont say anything... its just not polite you dont go around asking people "is the bag a knok off, are your breast real?" I said this in a joking way but I was dead serious.....

I don't tell people my hair is not real. I don't discuss my personal grooming. It is my hair on my head and like all parts of my body, people are not allowed to just touch me.

I really never get anyone questioning my hair. My girlfriend does. When someone started calling out her beautiful weave. I looked at that rude woman like she had three eyes and said,, " you know my friends hair grew like weeds after she stopped relaxing. Give that a try and your hair will grow." I was implying that she must be worried about her own bald head, to worry about my friends hair. The woman then asked what my friend uses on her hair. My friend said "Paul Mitchel". We had a good chuckle that day.

i honestly think its jealousy and envy. why else would she feel the need to let everyone know it's not your hair or it's a weave? its a way to be like, "yeah girl you look good, but HEY IT'S NOT YOURS, HEY YA'LL THIS AINT HER HAIR. i feel they are backhanded compliments. take it in stride, she mad.

This summer while traveling on business I got a couple inquisitive people asking me about my hair - especially when I told them it was a weave. Meh... I've had people ask to touch, see the parting, and brush my hair (yes brush)- I tell them ALL no you can see visually but putting your hands in my head is an extreme no-no. You are better than me.]]> Sun, 09 Dec 2012 08:40:28 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/how-to-handle-nosy-coworkers_topic351880_post9978215.html#9978215 <![CDATA[How to handle nosy co-workers? : Some people are so rude.

Some people have a lot of nerve and no tact. The last time that situation happened to me while at work I looked at her, backed up and said Can we discuss this later and walked away. She got the message.

I had no intention of "discussing it later" but that was better than what I really wanted to say to her.

I work at a nursing home with a lot of hard working black women with rough looking weaves. One women in particular was admiring my new italian yaki and would not stop raving about how real it looks. Loudly. In the lobby. In front of everyone that was waiting to clock in.

Mind you, I could care less if people I work with know I wear a weave, but not only was she obscenely loud while going on and on and ON about how real my fake hair looked, she was literally digging through the hair to...I don't even know, feel the cap I sewed it on? IDK but she was doing the absolute most. My question is how do you deal with people who are trying to get a little too familiar with your hair? Again I work in a nursing home, and idk what this Censored

was doing before she decided to start digging for weave treasures. I didn't realize how annoyed I was until this very moment...

Oh and she gave me her phone number so I could give her my vendor's website so she could order her own. Even though she scoffed at the price of the hair plus shipping. Like...why do I even bother with some people?
