    I went shopping in my car today, on the way back, the sun was so gorgeous, i decided to open the electric sunroof.Then the rain clouds came over so i shut it again.Felt a tugging on my head but took ages to realise, that i had shut my hair in the sunroof :rolleyes: My youngest hasnt stopped laughing at me all day :cry: Is anyone else as dozy as me? I do this kind of thing often, must be my age.
    The other stupid thing i did today, was go to B&Q, its bank holiday, car park jammed full, no cashiers, total chaos.Will i never learn? :D

    Lol :D Catkins, that's a nice image right there. How in the heck did you manage to get your hair into the sunroof? Did it get sucked up there?

    :D :D Fantastic!!! There's someone else like me out there. :smt041 :smt041 I have waist length hair and I'm forever getting it caught in car doors, coat zips, plants etc even when I tie it back. :oops:
    Worst thing I ever did was have it get sucked into an electric drill while I was replacing a door handle. I managed to switch the drill off before it did too much damage to my scalp thankfully. I went round to a friends house though with it still attached to my head and I didn't dare let go of it in case its weight ripped all the hair out by the roots. She laughed so hard when she saw me that she could hardly use the screwdriver to release my hair from the drill. She's never let me live it down!!! :rolleyes:

    When my hair was waist length, I was forever shutting it in the car door. Never a sunroof though. Probably because we never owned a car with one. Men and kids can laugh because THEY never do silly things. Dooley

    Snap Catkins. :D

    I spoke to Carol on the 'phone tonight and we had right old laugh remembering that day. Ian thought I was off my head because he could only hear my side of the conversation which went something like this:

    Do you remember the drill day?

    (Laughter)

    Totally fizzled and friction burns to boot in the strangest of places eh? No perming lotion ever did such a good curling job.

    (more laughter)

    Couldn't get it in to get it out.

    Hair ball the size of a tennis ball.

    (serious giggling)

    Didn't hang down so low afterwards on that side for ages again.

    (getting a bit hysterical with laughter)

    That's right. The GP thought I was nuts. (Snorting with laughter) Nuts and bolts.... Door bolt.... drill... hair raising story ................... (almost collapsing
    at this point and Carol is crying and laughing at the same time on the other end of the 'phone)

    The look on his face as he tried not to laugh. Couldn't write could he? Bet the other patients wondered what was happening and wanted some of the same. Laughing gas!!!!!!!

    Can you? Really?? Gas drills, well I never. Could have cooked it then. Hair pie!!! Hope you like it well done.

    Poor Ian at this point went off to bed shaking his head and muttering: "Women - never will underatand them - I'll stick to my tools in future - much safer."

    Weeeelll that started us off all over again didn't it? :p

    Thanks Catkins if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have had such a great chat with Carol!!!! Hope nobody was bugging my 'phone though or they might be sending round a couple of guys and a sraightjacket :smt005 :smt005 :smt005

    I just cut my hair a few weeks ago. I was almost to my waist. One of the big reasons I cut it is because Rob closed it in the back of my Ford Explorer when I bent over to get my purse I had dropped on the ground. The wind was blowing and blew it right in the way. I went to stand up and teared up instantly from the pain. It was mostly the underneath part of my hair that was caught. God that hurt so bad! I had to stand there bent over yelling for Rob in the parking lot of the store and then had to wait til he openned it to stand up. LOL

    Ur welcome eileen!

    Im trying really hard not to laugh at pinks post, it hurts doesnt it, but its really scary at the time!! You were lucky you didnt do serious damage.

    Yesterday, i washed and blow dryed my hair, i was having a bad day and it just wasnt going right, so i got some scissors ( blunt might i add) and cut off my fringe (that came down to my chin).Im no hairdresser and when i finished, i looked like i had put a bowl on my head and cut round it!!! Shock horror, i was due at work in an hour! I went to my hairdresser on the way, when she saw me she burst out laughing :oops:
