One time when I was sleeping my hair which is very long, got tangled behind my head while I was sleeping and it felt like I had a furry animal on my neck crawling around like a mouse or big bug. I woke up from a sound sleep screaming at the top of my lungs. I think I disturbed the entire neighborhood.
Hair can really be buglike.
Now there is the bathroom story that is about hair and a giant bug. Do you guys wants to hear it or shall I save that horror? :-)

(Karen, your hair story reminds me of another funny bedroom story that happened to me. One night several years ago I fell asleep next to my partner with the light still on. He must have cuddled up behind me, because I woke up in a panic because I'd imagined a SNAKE behind me [I'll let you guys figure THAT one out! hahaha]. So, before I could even think, I flew out of bed screaming "SNAKE!!" I immediately realized that there was no snake [at least of the reptillian kind] but my poor guy... There he was in a sound sleep and I'm screaming "SNAKE." I'm standing there watching him push the covers around to find the snake while trying to get out of the bed at the same time to get away from the snake... It took a minute for me to get my words working to explain to him, but by that time I was laughing SO hard at the image of that poor guy trying to find the snake in the bed... To this day I can make myself cry laughing so hard just by thinking of it.)
i love ya'lls stories ! (this is the second day wearing my 'waist cincher' so i cant bust a gut laughing).......toward the end of our meal the waitress grabbed my hand and pushed the little ziploc bag into my palm, i was looking at her like huh and thinking she wanted to shake my hand (like 'hey you are my favorite customer ! :) .......but then i realized it was the piece of hair and i laughed like crazy and thanked her ...she doesnt wear extensions but she knows i do because she saw me go from crap hair to great hair earlier this year!............we went to the fair today and even my husband and kids were pointing out half loose weaves around the place, yes i have taught my family well :)

OK...here is the bug story.......
One of the ways I deal with constant stress is that I get rolfed (does anyone here do that?) on a monthly basis. I go to an alternative health clinic that has massage therapists and rolfers and aromatherapists. It is in a nice part of North Dallas and the clinic is very clean and clinical looking.
I usually get the last appointment of the day at 7:00 pm and even though they have three restrooms....after about 5:00 they lock all of them except a teeny tiny bathroom near the lobby.
When I arrived for my appointment I went to the restroom...which I swear is a tiny commode and tiny sink with just walls around it. You can barely bend over without hitting your head.
The toilet paper holder is mounted on the side of the tiny sink and you are literally jammed into this tiny room.
So there I was using the toilet and my hair....which is very long...was loose. I felt something brush against my arm but thought it was my hair. I finished, washed my hands and walked out into the lobby area.
A woman sitting there waiting looked at me and let out a blood curdling scream. I mean loud, loud scream.
My rolfer ran out the door and looked at the woman screaming who was pointing at my head. He literally grabbed my head and starting pulling at something. I saw something fall to the floor and the woman who was screaming jumped up on a chair.
On the floor was a Palmetto bug complete with wings that was about 36 inches long and must have weighed several ounces. It looked like a small animal. Seriously.
Apparently when I went into the bathroom it crawled from the sink into my hair and was perched there when I walked out into the lobby.
I still get the creeps thinking about it.
Now when I go the clinic...no matter what time...they open one of the other bathrooms for me because I will not go into that Bug Bathroom anymore.
Of course my rolfer was mortified.
Thats it...that my bug story (just for you Kristie). I have others but not directly tied to my hair like that one. :-)

I've had quite a few embarrassing hair moments, more than I care to remember. I had a wig pulled off my head in a bar in Boston but that
wasn't the worst.
I was a bridesmaid in my friends wedding. As I was walking down the aisle, I noticed people were looking on the ground by my feet so I looked down and noticed that not only was toilet paper stuck to the bottom of the heel of my shoe, but one of my smaller wefts had come loose and was trailing along with the toilet paper off the heel of my shoe. It's not like I could run and hide so I just did what I do best. Acknowledge the fact that I am making a fool of myself once again, lift up my leg and shake the toilet paper and weft off my shoe (ith a straight face staring straight ahead,)and kick the weft and toilet paper under the pew.

OMG....so horrible but funny at the same time. :-) I hope they didn't catch you on the wedding video.

OMYGAWD ...Im ROTFLMAO....I have a few of those storys but nothing related to hair. This is a fun thread....and we needed a good laugh! SO anyone else with hair stories please share!!!
Oh my gosh, Karen! I can't even imagine! Having a big creepy crawly tangled in my hair is my worst fear. When mine was short it wasn't so bad (then it was more about something slithering down my neck), but now that there is enough to get tangled in, ewwww! With the long hair you have (and living in a place where there are those horrible palmetto bugs) I'd be wearing my hair in a hat whenever I went out. (Btw, rolfing is great. I had a massage therapist for a bit who used those techniques and I swear, every massage was like therapy. Half the time I'd be crying by the end of my massage.)
Elvira, I've seen people with toilet paper like that, but never in a wedding with a weft attached! What else can you do but hold your head up and get that sucker off your shoe? Too funny. I used to wear long, sheer skirts with leggings underneath (hey, those are back in style again!) and had it happen one time that after going to the bathroom I'd tucked the skirt into my tights in the back, revealing most of my butt. I was at least three errands past my bathroom stop before some nice woman came to me, embarrassed, and told me my skirt was tucked up and my butt was showing. What can you do?
Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE!

Yes...rolfing helps the body, the mind and spirit..in my experience. I had a bad fall about 10 months ago and could not get my knee back in alignment even after a chiropractor tried to adjust it. My rolfer finally got it snapped back.
And yes it can be intense but worth it.
As far as revealing body parts...I was recently at a lecture and the guy giving had his fly open. I felt so bad for him. There were about 200 people in the room and he kept throwing his arms around and exposing himself. Eeewwwwww.
Finally someone handed him a note....he turned beet red and then zipped up.
It was funny but I also felt bad for him.
Thank GOD I don't have to worry about zipping a fly. I am so absent minded I can only imagine.

And by the way....in the movie Something About Mary.....could that "caught in the zipper" thing really happen in real life? Or was that just artistic license?

omg- funny funny stories- the bug- karen- "OMG i would of freaked out!!
hair in baggie- hairlarous!!!
i was sitting in church one sunday and ya know- after a while it sorta gets a tad bit tiring(boring) anyway- i decided to run my fingers thru my hair and felt that one strand was gonna slide all the way out. so i very cautiously threw my purse on the floor- and while i was bending down to pick it up- i slide the hair out and pushed it in my purse, then i was freaked there were more, but there wernt, so to be safe, i put on my jacket and let my hair stay in back of jacket, no others came out or were loose, but yeah, i was freaked.
Bringing beauty, one head at a time...

Reading all these funny stories has pulled me out of my read only state. I've been spitting all over the screen!
Had to share mine!
I was late for church one morning and it was a snowy, windy day. I ran in and sat down in a pew. A few moments later there was a tap on my shoulder and I turned around and an elderly lady said "Girl, you best pat down the top of your hair-cause every track is saying hello to me!"
-I used to have super powers but my therapist took them away
