They were whispering about my hair!

[spidermom]

I was sitting in a treatment room with an ice pack after physical therapy when I heard two of the PT's whispering about me.
"Your patient has such long hair."
"Oh I know! That braid goes all the way down to her butt."
"It's so thick and beautiful."
"The color is really pretty, too."
"It looks natural."
"Oh, I'm sure it is."

Did they think I wouldn't want to hear that? Or did they whisper just loud enough to be sure I would?

(either way, I'm grinning from ear to ear)

[EvaSimone]

Awww How nice! That's funny that they were whispering, I bet they knew you'd overhear it. Sometimes when you compliment someone directly then they kind of have an onus on them to say something nice back. At least that's how I feel sometimes.. :shrug:

[irishlady]

That's awesome! Your hair is beautiful :)

[spidermom]

I couldn't thank them because I didn't know whether I was supposed to have heard it!

[Airmide]

That's so nice! I love overhearing compliments, though sometimes I feel a little awkward if it seems I've probably heard but can't directly say thank you. All of those things are so true about your hair too!

[adiapalic]

Aww! That's so lovely. I love the color of your hair too.

[AngelDella]

well deserved compliments :)

[Cirafly24]

That's so nice! It's great to overhear nice things about yourself :D

[AnnaJamila]

Haha, I would be, too! A very well-earned compliment, if I do say so myself! ;)

[NightOwl26]

Yes a well deserved compliment indeed. Maybe they were aware of their loud whisper but didn't think you were paying attention to them.. Knowing me I would have told you.

[CastaDiva]

How nice:) I`m sure they wanted you to hear what they were whispering, because you DO have beautiful hair! If I wasn`t sure how a stranger would react to a compliment, I could have done something similar. This way the person I was complimenting didn`t have to respond if they didn`t want to, and I would have given my compliment without expecting a response in return:)

[longhairedlady]

Now that would make my day!! :) You do have very pretty hair :)

[Yozhik]

That's wonderful! I bet they didn't know how loudly they were talking. Sometimes it amazes me what people think they're saying in private, but is clearly audible.

You deserve great compliments, too, because your hair is stunning. :)

[wooliswonderful]

Very cool!
The first Sunday after I got my layers I overheard one of my friends at church say "Elisabeth's hair looks so nice!" I grinned for quite a bit. :)

[MaryRose]

That is wonderful. You have very pretty hair too.

[Toiréasa]

How cool is that I would be smiling from ear to ear too,you do have lovely hair.

[KwaveT]

I am thinking they wanted you to hear that. The whispers would have been quieter otherwise. It is a well deserved compliment. I wanted to compliment one of my customers today. Here hair tapered to about classic length. I have never seen hair that long in person. I know I probably should have said something.

[MsBubbles]

That's great, and certainly appropriate!

[FrozenBritannia]

Usually, if I am talking about someone possibly within their earshot, I make sure not to talk too quietly so that they know I am not dissing them but in fact complimenting them. I wouldn't want someone to only hear half of the conversation and assume the worst!

[swearnsue]

You DO have beautiful hair! Good luck with the PT too by the way!

[dulce]

That's great and well deserved!

[pepperminttea]

I would have been grinning from ear to ear, too. :D What awesome compliments!

[UltraBella]

What a lovely bunch of compliments !!! Yay !!! I am so glad they noticed how awesome your hair is :)

Hijack : today at Zumba I kept messing up the moves because of the lady with a braid hanging at classic length. I just couldn't focus !!

[ericthegreat]

I'm pretty sure that they were deliberately whispering loud enough so that you could overhear them. They wanted to make sure that you heard their compliments! I know that made your day spidey!! :p

[EdG]

For some reason, strangers act as though one can't hear through all that hair. :rolleyes:

Those were great complements, and they're true too. :)

[renarok]

It is nice to hear complimentary comments, and those heard accidentally are even sweeter. I would compliment your beautiful hair as well.

[Lostsoule77]

That is great and definitely deserved. Whether they meant you to hear them or not I'm glad that you did. :)

[Spring]

That would have made my day :).

[camara]

How nice! And your hair is indeed beautiful. :agree:

[cindy58]

That's nice to hear!

[WaitingSoLong]

I remember the first time I saw your hair on LHC Spidermom, I fell in love with it, too! Well deserved compliments and I wish I could see your hair IRL!

[embee]

:) Very accurate comments, sounds to me like.

[spidermom]

Ditto WaitingSoLong.

[Auburn_locks]

Aww how lovely to hear such nice comments from them - whether you were meant to hear them or not! You definitely have some very beautiful hair :inlove:

[jojo]

and well deserved too! if you was my patient id be telling you out right because your hair is beautiful and I love threads like this!

[Becky Safari]

Those are the best hair moments!

[MasCat]

Honestly I think they wanted you to hear, but they didn't want to harass you in any way, so invented a non-invasive way of complimenting your gorgeous hair :)

[racrane]

Aw, that's so sweet. :) Your hair really is beautiful.

[Yame]

I'd whisper about your hair too if I saw it in person!

[lapushka]

That is really nice of them! :)

[ArienEllariel]

I remember the first time I saw your hair on LHC Spidermom, I fell in love with it, too! Well deserved compliments and I wish I could see your hair IRL!

Oh I know. She has lovely hair doesn't she? :)

[Áine]

What a nice thing to overhear! You really do have beautiful hair, it's a well deserved comment.

[spidermom]

I had to post this because most of the posts about over-hearing somebody talking about your hair are insults.

[honeyblonde]

Awww, that is smile worthy!! :D

[AshleyTheRed]

I don't whisper. I was at the fair yesterday and I walked up to a girl and told her that she had gorgeous long hair.. cause well she did! :)

[Juneii]

Yay! When I saw the preview to this thread I was worried it was another insult.

[Starlight1986]

Oh, that is very sweet of them. :)

[justgreen]

Now that is just strange. I get more compliments when I'm at MY Physical Therapy office. Or at the doc's. One of the pharmacists loves my hair and today had to actually touch it. I told her I did an SMT, told her how to do it and she's going to try it. She is growing her hair long because of me.

Spidey your hair rocks, it's so gorgeous!

[GlassWidow]

How cute! I would be tickled pink, too.

[pink.sara]

That's really cute of them. And all true, your hair is beautiful.
I heard a little boy on the bus say "look mum that ladies hair is so thick and shiny" and the mum said "yes it is but I don't think it's all hers honey" made me laugh but I took it as a compliment she doesn't think my hair can possibly be all mine.

Unintended compliments make your day :)

[Safira]

You have beautiful hair! I´m sure they wanted you to know how they admire your hair.

[Emerald88]

They were right and you definatley deserve the compliment!

[Xi]

That's lovely, Spidermom! Sounds like you have very intelligent PTs with excellent taste! :)

[SusanSt]

What a great thing to overhear! :)

[princessp]

Lol that's funny they were whispering, but cool they were saying such nice things about your gorgeous locks! :)

[teal]

How nice to hear such things! Certainly some well-deserved compliments!


Oh I know. She has lovely hair doesn't she? :)

I see what you did there :D

[Alex Lou]

This made me :)

[WinterButterfly]

Awesome! This made me smile. Hair compliments, even when overheard are nice. You do have pretty hair.

[greentealeaf]

Aww, so sweet and well deserved! :)

[Altocumulus]

Well deserved compliments! I usually just admire people's hair silently, although I do ogle. ;)

[Lisa R]

What a beautiful compliment to a very beautiful head of hair!:)

[Neoma]

I was sitting in a treatment room with an ice pack after physical therapy when I heard two of the PT's whispering about me.
"Your patient has such long hair."
"Oh I know! That braid goes all the way down to her butt."
"It's so thick and beautiful."
"The color is really pretty, too."
"It looks natural."
"Oh, I'm sure it is."

Did they think I wouldn't want to hear that? Or did they whisper just loud enough to be sure I would?

(either way, I'm grinning from ear to ear)
I'm glad that they said that within your earshot, spidermom. :flower:

[StephanieB]

*whispering to other LHCers*

Pssssssssssssst... see that gal with the long hair? The one with her braid all the way down to her butt! Look how thick her braid is, and her hair is so pretty. But best of all - her personality is far more beautiful than her hair is...

[WaitingSoLong]

Ditto WaitingSoLong.


WOW thanks! So...when shall we meet? lol

[Alaia]

Awesome! :D

I'm grinning as well. That was sweet. I'm glad you heard it!

[Gumball]

I don't blame you from grinning ear to ear. That's a fantastic exchange to overhear. :cloud9: It was completely deserved, too! Your hair is great, spidermom.

[Slinks]

lol - Spidermom :-) I whisper too, I'm too shy to say "you have gorgeous hair" to a random stranger .. I think I was heard recently at a train station tho :-) I wondered if she she was a member here and really wanted to ask her ..

[Slinks]

For some reason, strangers act as though one can't hear through all that hair. :rolleyes:
:)
Ed

:lol: I so laughed out loud at that Ed

[McFearless]

If anyone deserves a hair compliment, its you my friend.

[Schipperchow]

How nice to hear such beautiful words about your hair:-) But it was all true, you do have beautiful, long hair!

[Cowgirl16]

That is so cool :cool:
How nice to overhear someone saying something nice :)
