Posted: 5/9/2008 5:46:24 PM | Yesterday i was sitting in my local shopping centre having a coffee with a mate i hadn't seen for a while. Along comes a young bloke with a mohawk hair cut painted about 6 different colours, 3 or 4 friends with him dressed all in black gear, studs & tatts in & on different parts of their person. After standing in front of us for several minutes, people walking past laughing, commenting etc . My mate couldn't stop staring at them, finally the mohawk barks at him. "What th f*ck are ya lookin at?" With out taking his eyes off him , my mate replied. "I don't know, i havn't got my idiot book with me." Everyone within earshot of him broke into tear flowing laughter.Not having an answer ,the mohawk & co moved away, not without a mouthful of bad language. But at least it made everyone else happy. Anyone else had similar circumstanses?  | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 6:12:03 PM | Although the gentleman with the mohawk shouldn't have sworn at your friend...how was your friend (and the other patrons) any less rude for staring, laughing and making rude comments about him? Just because he doesn't look like 'everyone else', is that any reason to make fun of him?? What a lovely attitude to to have; 'make fun of people who are different from you'. 
edit--oops, sorry didn't realize this was the Australia forum--didn't mean to 'intrude' | |

Quick!
WATER BALLOONS AT THE READY EVERYONE!
Meegs.. the chances are pretty good mate, that BOTH the young fella and the old fella went away laughing hard at the other. The young people would have found the "old idiot book line" just as stupidly amusing as the old fella found the "mohawk". The fact we CAN comment on both without the world ending is one of the reasons Aussie's enjoy a good come back. | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 6:42:53 PM | Thanks bionic, maybe in Alberta th youngn's get away with swearing and being disrespectful to their elders. We didn't tell him to cut & paint his hair like that, & then strut around like a bird of paradise. And then stick his studded nose where it wasn't welcome, he's only asking for trouble. The point i was trying to make was how quick my mate came back with his answer to the galahs direspectful outburst, nothing more nothing less. Hey i have grandkids i hang out with, i would like to think when their out with their friends they don't carry on like that. | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 6:46:41 PM | i dont know but i think perhaps your mate deserved it..... i am sure with that stare of his he also had a look of disdain on his face (whether he realised it or not)?!
wasn't he ever taught it is rude to stare. even people with mohawks have rights hey! | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 6:48:45 PM | Okay, 'intruding' again.
Yes, my reply may have been different originally if I had realized it was the Aussie forum (I did live in Whistler, BC, Canada, which has a larger Aussie population than any other nationality--including Canadian), but I just thought it was just a Off-Topic Forum, silly me with a couple of beers in me! So therefore I just thought it was someone making fun of the 'younger generation'. Which generally annoys me.
So SORRY to you all. Please don't judge all Canucks by my example :(.
And PS--it snowed here today---WAY too cold for water ballons! | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 7:04:50 PM | when i was 20 I decided to go for a crew cut, me mate was at the clippers and gave me a mow-hawk just for a giggle... I decided to keep it for a few days.
straight to the pub to lark on a bit.... i was greeted with showers of laughter...which i fully expected..and wanted i guess hehehee.
the story got around that i could only afford half the hair cut, so when ever i went there I got showered in change aswell ...was awesome.
I had prepared comeback line which generally worked for most...
"you look like a freaky chicken or something mate ! "
I would quickly retort back
"Well one day my hair will grow back, but you will still be a fat old ugly barstard drinking beer in the corner"
all said and done in jest, as was the haircut itself
non-conformists cant expect people to not stare. other wise how could they become non-conformists. ya bunch of marine mating forum fascists  | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 7:15:11 PM | I once had a very out there hair style which consisted of a orange, yes orange, sometimes purple sometimes blue mullet the mullet itself was coloured and the back was to my waist and red. I once had a guy say to me "Your f*cking hair looks like a broom"  to which I quickly replied " And your face looks like an arsehole so f*ck off shit for brains" I will now add it is now purple, dark purple, some of us just never grow up. | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 7:30:42 PM | My other come back for young guys and I mean young 19-25 who want to go out with me is " I have undies in my drawer that are older than you and I don't take them out either"  | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 7:51:28 PM | Wilted thats a crack up...
I used to have waist length jet black hair with crimson and purple thru it was gorjus :) my son has a huge 70's style mohawk thats black and magenta atm and yes I cut and colour it for him
He gets stared at alot as he is 6'3 ... loads of compliments on his hair and never a nasty word. Even old people think he is very brave for being so different. He has had a mowhawk for the last 6 years ( ~yawn~ but loves it lol) Whats really funny are the young chicks who run up to him in flocks at shopping centres and ask can they touch his hawk lmao he goes bright RED I just love it ( he says I am a crap mum for laughing at him blushing )
Those come back one liners are always funny ... but GreyN staring IS rude as is the swearing at old people

Posted: 5/9/2008 8:54:01 PM | I would have said exactly the same thing as "the mohawk" actually I do so on a semi regular basis to people who are rude or ignorant enough to stare/point/snicker at myself or anybody else who chooses to look somehow different from what society considers "normal". Who's to say what's "normal" or acceptable and why should I care what you or your mate thinks, particularly if he would be so narrow minded to assume that because somebody looks different from you they are an idiot? Live and let live

Posted: 5/9/2008 9:02:18 PM | In my job I get called some lovely names at times one of my favorite come backs is "Sticks and stones will break my bones but whips and chains excite me" the look on there faces it soooo funny.
The other come back for a popular name they call me is " And unlike u at least I'm useful for one thing"
And adding to the really upset people who keep the full on with the name calling I simply say " Thats ok to swear at me like that cause you know what, I use the same language and it doesn't offend me" | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 9:15:52 PM | Good for you Wilted  I treat people with the respect they deserve, or not lol and I know when it's appropriate to swear, or not, but some people just don't understand anything higher brow than name calling so I don't mind getting down in the dirt when the occasion calls for it ;) I gotta ask, what to you do for work? | |

You was talking about your hair colour i take it?

I dont think any body assumed that "the mohawk" was an idiot initially - they just wondered in amazement how "the mohawk" was getting into a car, sleeping on a pillow, wearing a helmet on his push bike, getting panicked on a really windy day and what job he was holding down. You know, just your average mohawk wearing i-dont-conform-issues the average mohawk wearing individual is very proud to display.
The 'idiot concept' only came up when he the mohawk barked at him. "What th f*ck are ya lookin at?"
Well, what do ya think?
But you should know that as a girl - dont pick a fight unless you are happy to get your hair messed up.  | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 10:20:18 PM | | Hi rainbow Security guard/ Lady bouncer and at times Body guard. I'm the one who tries to stop people from getting themselves into trouble while out trying to have a good time. Now watch the "lets pick on the renta cop" posts. When I bounce I very much watch everyone and look for the trouble that may be about to happen I had one fellow come up and say to me one time " Smile you look so serious" my reply to him was " What is to smile about you are having a good time I'm baby sitting a mod of drunks who don't know when enough is enough" as I was bouncing in one of the roughest venues in Bris. | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 10:28:34 PM | I take my hat off to ya Wilted I always think bouncers have the toughest job in the world (apart from stop/go people lol) watching everyone else write themselves off and f**k up then you get to deal with the mess, I don't know how you stand it.
Kobalt if the guy wasn't being rude staring then the mohawk wouldn't have sworn but either way we all have the right to look/dress/hair colour however we choose without being looked at like scum, it's just rude and ignorant, and my hair's always messed up lol

Posted: 5/10/2008 2:44:23 AM | I used to work with a couple of clowns at a nut 'n' bolt factory and over heard this,
clown a "Where the hell is the size chart?"
clown b "F*ck Knows!"
clown a "Don't call me F*ck nose, C*nt face"
Not very mature but it just struck my sense of humor.
Also worked in a Video library in an upper crust area and was standing next to my brother as he said this.
customer " Do you have Great Expectations?"
brother "I used to, but I have since learned to temper my wants." | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 3:10:02 AM | | ^^^Reminds me of a factory I worked in when I was younger; there was a guy that worked on a machine at the other end of the factory to me, whenever someone yelled something to him he didn’t like he would stick out his bottom lip. He was a bit of a rough looking type so it took me a while to pluck up the courage to ask him why he did it, he responded by simply sticking out his bottom lip…which had ‘f*ck off ‘ tattooed on. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 3:27:59 AM | How odd . .
A young guy with a mohawk hair cut in six colours . . pretty common juvenile attention seeking behaviour, yeah?
The kid got some attention all right and let his mouth loose in protest.
Example come-backs for next time:
1. Well aren't you just the most adorable little black hole of need.
2. You really are pretty as a picture....I'd like to hang you.
3. I don't know what your problem is but I bet it's hard to pronounce.
4. I like you. You remind me of me when I was young and stupid.
5. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

Expressing yourself thru clothing and or hair do's doesnt mean its juvenile attention seeking behaviour..... my son doesnt have a mohawk to make ppl look at him. He is pretty shy and expresses himself thru his hair... he has fantastic manners and is very chivalrous towards women ( opens doors, carries bags, makes coffee for them etc) and he is only 15.
Not all kids who look different are after attention... if that was the case then ever adult who dyes or styles their hair, facial hair, clothes etc is attention seeking ;p
I for one much prefer a kid who can express themselves in clothes hair music and art than acting like an anti social little snot. | |
