Hick Loco - you have a call on line 2.
While I agree that these sort of judgements shouldn't happen, I'm afraid it's a fact of life. I'm not sure if he meant his perception of intelligence, but the general population certainly judges people this way. There are certain piercings that tend to be overlooked - bellybutton piercings on women, normal earrings on both sexes, and some women can get away with a small nose stud - but as a rule, employers especially often judge people on piercings.Ciaran said:

The whole thing above kind of grosses me out, but hey, there's something for everyone, right?
Yeah, I know... there's the way we want the world and it's people to work, and the way it actually does work.binary visions said:While I agree that these sort of judgements shouldn't happen, I'm afraid it's a fact of life.

Admit it - you did it for shock value and vanity to start with. I'd say you got what you were looking for.Ciaran said:

but you did prove my point. Your reaction is to poke fun or come up with some reasoning that you use to think of yourself as "better" (maybe not the right word, but it suits your rolleyes response.) then the person with the red hair or the person with the piercings. Well, I accept that I have to deal with such things if I want to run around with funny colored hair.Maybe you should cuddle up with Webster's instead.Ciaran said:
bahahaha - where is that lame little kid anyway???Ciaran said:

It turned out a bit brighter then I anticipated. It was dyed back to black the following week. Coincidentally right before my boss came back from vacation.SkaredShtles said:
Must be a different shade than what's appearing in the picture on my monitor, then.

I fix computers at a hospital for a living. I am an OK tech, I do good work and have great customer service skills. Most of my clients love me. Then I came to work one day like this:
I had more comments in the one week I had my hair like that then I had in the 2 years of working at this location. People stared, people pointed. Middle aged ladies who normally fawned over me asked questions like, "OMG! What did you do to your hair!?!" and just straight up telling me that I looked stupid.
Weird. People are visual creatures and we freak out when we see something that veers from the norm. It's too bad we choose to laugh and judge instead of learning more about things and then appreciating them.
Now I want to go home and dye my hair red again.
