Pretty In Pink-Orange
PHARMACY | RIGHT | JANUARY 24, 2015
(Last year I dyed my hair bright red, and by October it was starting to fade out to a pink-orange. I was used to getting a lot of comments about my hair and most were positive so I was taken by surprise when I was ringing up an older customer a few days before Halloween.)
Husband: “Is that your real hair?”
Me: “Yes. it is.”
Husband: “Well. I like it. It’s nice. You look very pretty.”
Me: “Thank you.”
(His wife looks at him with a face that says she doesn’t appreciate him complimenting me.)
Husband: *to his wife* “Well, she’s Halloween pretty, anyway.”
Me: “…here’s your receipt. Have a nice night…”
(My manager and I still haven’t figured out if I should take that as a compliment or insult, yet.)
