This non-AA lady just had the nerve to ask me "Is all of that hair yours?". Ok, first of all you already asked me when I first go it done and I schooled you. Second, do you really think that my hair grew 8 inches over the weekend?? Let's not be stupid.
Why were you offended by that? Sounds like a silly lady with little memory, but not malice. I mean granted, that mess gets annoying, but I wouldn't be mad unless they said something derogatory like "I heard you can't wash those" or something like that.

Anything else is just par for the course, ya know?
