Hair toss, question for the ladies

Rifleman · June 8th, 2016, 05:49 AM

As part of my safe driving practices when riding, I usually look through the vehicle in front of me to see what they are seeing out their windshield. Especially when stopped at a light. This lets me see what most people would considered to be blocked from sight.

This has happened so many times, well, I had to ask.

The great preponderances of young female drivers will toss their hair at stop lights, or while waiting in traffic.

So ladies, is this because you have nothing better to do with your hands when sitting at a stop light...

or is this because a purple and yellow sport bike ridden by some mystery dude is right behind you? DON'T LOOK... is he still there? Did he rev that thing, better toss my hair again.

School me, what's the 411

DEFY · June 8th, 2016, 05:58 AM

I believe Snape also enjoys the sight of mystery dudes.

Rifleman · June 8th, 2016, 05:59 AM

well we always knew Snape batted from the other side of the plate.

snot · June 8th, 2016, 06:55 AM

I only do it if I am having withdrawals from flipping pancakes in the kitchen..

Seriously, I don't get why they do. I pull mine back and roll down the Windows so the wind can blow in my face

motodancer · June 8th, 2016, 08:24 AM

lol I didn't know girls did that! ....... Or maybe I'm the only one that does NOT flip my hair?!
Maybe they're doing it for you?

If it were a once a week thing, I wouldn't have even thought about it, but it's nearly every single day. One of the lights, on my commute in, or out and I'll get a "tosser". Who knows, maybe it's the same girl, going to work at the same time...

just an observation, i had to ask.

motodancer · June 8th, 2016, 08:32 AM

You should record it every time and make a compilation video of girls flipping their hair while sitting at a red light

Which suburb are you in? I'm from the Chicago suburbs- moved out a year ago

LittleRedNinjette · June 8th, 2016, 08:56 AM

Oswego. where the corn still grows in the summer.

I suppose I should get the ol GoPro fired up and make a montage'

CaliGrrl · June 8th, 2016, 10:13 AM

Sorry, no help here, either! I'll run my fingers through it while it's drying, to avoid it drying in a flat sad lump, but that's about it. Once it's dried, I pull it back and done.

Maybe there's a good song on her radio.

adouglas · June 8th, 2016, 11:50 AM

I am obviously a master of hair management.

I know why. But I'm not telling.

MrAtom · June 8th, 2016, 12:37 PM

It's to kind of reorganize it. Men with long hair do it just as often, and I used to have beautiful long hair.

motodancer · June 8th, 2016, 01:40 PM

@adouglas I love that you put your fist up to cover your face. It's funny because it's in your avatar AND your post!
@Rifleman I pass by Oswego often

driving from central IL to Naperville and back

SLOWn60 · June 8th, 2016, 01:56 PM

Why is this only a question to the ladies?!? As a child of the 60's & 70's: hair flipping was a necessity! I'd still do it but for obvious reasons

JohnnyBravo · June 8th, 2016, 10:07 PM

I flip the bit of hair I got... Not like a valley girl, but a flip none the less; it's the easiest way I have found to get it to go this way or that without using hands / tools

I guess most folks wit longerish hair flip it

never seen Metallica???

Can you tell I don't watch TV or pay attention to new music??? Metallica didn't always have short hair... That started with the lead singer in the 90's or so
Need me to post a old YouTube video?

FTFY.

When I still had the hair to do it (....and I'm still under 30. sad times), and in a configuration that permitted it, I'm sure I flipped mine occasionally. Oddly enough, I think I still do the motion sometimes, though it's not conscious enough for to pinpoint when or why. Just feels right I guess?

Metallica is a lot like Samson. They lost their hair, and their power to produce music worth listening to.

JohnnyBravo · June 9th, 2016, 10:53 AM

I wondered why folks without the proper amount of hair looked like they were trying to flip it... I always thought it was the emperors new hairdo

I found the more time goes by the less new "music" seems remotely musical

Rappers mumble and pass off zibba zabba zuppa zuppa zuuuuu as music

I was listening to metallica in the 80s.... One was my favorite video Master of puppets was my favorite record.

JohnnyBravo · June 9th, 2016, 11:54 AM

I think one night we heard master of puppets 40 times before we figured out the cd was scratched or it was on repeat

guys mom yelled down the steps "if y'all play that song one more time I'm cutting the power to your room off"

akima · June 18th, 2016, 09:53 AM

I sometimes reposition my hair when stopped at the lights. If left to its own devices my hair likes to go frizzy and make knots.

If you see a British girl throw her hair around make sure you don't refer to her as a tosser.

But it's ok to ask any man for a fag, just don't call him Bruce!

One was a finalist for our HS class song.

Teacher: Why would you want that as your class song?!
Us: It's a cool song. *shrug*

(It ended up being The Wall. We were obviously very happy, optimistic kids.)

Also, I love the intro to The Struggle Within.

Of course

perhaps i was being a little naughty accidently on purpose.

Funny story, had a foreign exchange student from England in a class in high school, sat right behind me.

one day she taps me on the shoulder and asks me if I have a "rubber"

JACKPOT!!!

until she points to the end of her pencil where the ERASER had used up.

though we speak the same language, we do not

toEleven · June 22nd, 2016, 08:35 AM

I encountered that very same "rubber" situation in middle school (6-8th grade), though she had just relocated from Australia.

America seems to be the strangest former colony, linguistically at least.

I think she was making a subtle hint.

another funny story.

the Brits parked their submarine (The Scepter) outboard us in Charlston, S.C.

of course they have beer on their boats so we would 'pop over for a pint' after work.

one of the Brits said, "well gents, I'm going topside to suck a fag"

oh you mean have a cigarette

wendyjboss · June 22nd, 2016, 08:12 PM

She has long hair. She's at an intersection. She's looking both ways. The hair flips. It's physics!-) Or she likes you!

I feel you bro... here in Malaysian we converse and have our education using the Queen's english, but our TV shows are all from United States.

So there are some mixed up in nouns, spelling and even pronunciation.
