Grandpa offering money
Posted by Slash on January 07, 2003 at 18:46:22:
My Grandpa offered me $20 if I'd get my hair cut. I of course didn't take up the offer. I like my hair, even though nobody else seems to. I don't even think I'd cut my hair for a $100. With all of the stuff I had to go thru while growing it out at first, it isn't worth it. Has any of ur family members ever tried to bribe u into getting ur hair cut?
WHAT?!

You will cut your hair if it's not important to YOU.
Would you give your little finger?
Tell me

Give the guy some slack. Some of us
hae to tolerate relattives/boses/co-workers
who think they have the right to tell the
world what to do.
You are not in this person's shoes, your
not privy to the shit he gets from his
relatives.
As much as I would detest the idea of
cutting my hair I when it comes to
relatives....been there....done that.
Maybe instead of jumping down this guy's
throat how about some sympathy.
I've had more arguements with relatives,
bosses, school officisls, etc. over the
years. (Lots of years). I've heard it
all.
Have some compassion for the poster.

I didn't see any "throat jumping".
Actually, most of us ARE privy to the s*** he gets from his
relatives as we have gone/are going through it ourselves.
LucksKind was posing an example question to make him think about what kind of personal importance he places on his own physical choices (hair IS a part of your body).

Tell him that Bo Derek set the price in the '80's for cutting off your hair at $1,000,000...and if he is willing to pay you that then you will gladly oblige, just as soon as the cash is in your hands.
Also tell him that you are being nice by offering him a deal by not factoring in inflation. Otherwise, if he is not going to be really serious about it then he shouldn't bother you over it again.

To cut your hair would make of mockery of the title that is Slash (GN'R/Slash's Snakepit refrence, for those who were into those bands).
Yep!

My dad once offered me $100 to cut my hair. And silly me took him up on it. Ofcourse I was only about 13 at the time,but I really regreted it. Especially after the money was gone. He offered a few more times,raising the price each time,but I never gave in again.Finally he gave up on it.
These days I wouldn't even consider it unless there was several thousand dollars involved. Even then I would have to think long and hard about it. And I know I would still regret it no matter how much money was involved.

Good idea! I'd offer my grandson $20.00 to grow his hair out but the Army wouldn't like it.

My grandparents are constantly coming up with some crazy (usually very large) offer to try to get me to cut my hair and shave. Since I'm into lowered trucks, they're constantly offering to buy a new set of rims and tires, or give me the money to get my truck running and painted.
Bottom line: I can work for a couple of weeks and afford the parts on my own. I CAN'T work for a few weeks and regain 25" of hair.
It may sound crazy to those that don't understand long hair, but the hard work that went into developing what's probably my favorite feature is way more important than material goods.
Just my $.02, sorry for the rambling!

take the 20 bucks. Wear a hat, tell your grandpa you don't want him to see your hair cause it was a bad cut. Wear hat all the time. Spend the 20 on candy. Send candy to me.
Inflation...

I think you might want to explain the changing economics of haircuts, too... At any rate, I'm not cheap, I would fall over laughing at $20. About three more zero's behind that might make me consider.

for the longest time my Mom refused to be seen in public with me. She said it was humiliating to be seen next to me. she tried bribing then she said I wasnt alowed to visit her. she said I looked like a bum. 6 years later she has mellowed out and even lets me take her to dinner on occasion but only if I keep the hair in a neat pony tail. No matter what you do somebody is not going to like your long hair.
