🎭 The Theater Experience: Dealing with a Woman with Long Hair in My Husband’s Lap
Years ago, I went with my husband and parents to see a theater performance – a small budget production in a cozy little theater. Little did I know, we’d encounter an unexpected and somewhat comical situation involving a woman with incredibly long hair and my husband’s lap. Here’s the entertaining story of how my husband found an amusing way to handle the situation without causing a scene.
## Tight Seating Woes: The Setup
The theater was small, and the seating was quite tight, especially for my tall husband. As we settled into our seats, the issue arose when the woman in front of my husband with long, thigh-length hair sat down and let her hair cascade over the back of the chair and into his lap. He had zero leg room, and the overflow of her hair was encroaching into his personal space.
### Polite Request Denied
At first, we assumed it was unintentional, so my husband politely asked her to move her hair. However, to our surprise, she flat out refused, showing no consideration for the discomfort she was causing him.
### The Unruly Outburst
As my husband attempted to move her hair to the side, she stood up and caused a scene, drawing the attention of nearly everyone in the theater. Her reaction was uncalled for and left us feeling awkward and frustrated.
## The Unexpected Twist: My Husband’s Subtle Revenge
Little did the woman know, my husband was not one to take things lightly. While I was engrossed in the play, he quietly took matters into his own hands and decided to give her a taste of her own medicine.
### The Ingenious Knotting Plan
Instead of causing a scene or escalating the situation, my husband discreetly began knotting the woman’s long hair, starting from the bottom up. He carefully created a series of thick knots and mini braids, cleverly concealed from her notice.
### The Hilarious Payback
Unbeknownst to the woman, my husband’s subtle act of revenge amused those around us. People in the rows behind us, who had witnessed her outburst, couldn’t help but stifle chuckles as they noticed his undercover antics.
## A Lesson in Humility: A Memorable Conclusion
As the theater performance came to an end, the woman remained oblivious to the twists and turns her hair had taken throughout the play. My dad, who had caught onto my husband’s plan, gave him a knowing pat on the back, appreciating his lighthearted approach to the situation.
### The Aftermath: Unwinding the Knots
It likely took the woman a considerable amount of time to untangle and undo the intricately knotted mess my husband had created. Although she may have had her own version of the story, the playful act served as a lesson in humility and consideration for others.
### The Lighthearted Victory
Ultimately, my husband’s subtle act of pettiness allowed us to see the humor in the situation, and we left the theater with lighthearted smiles. While the woman in front of us may have portrayed herself as the innocent victim, her attitude soured any sympathy we might have had for her.
In the end, my husband’s creative and harmless retaliation served as a reminder that sometimes, a playful approach can be more impactful than engaging in a conflict. It was a memorable theater experience that left us amused and enlightened, showcasing the art of subtle humor in dealing with unexpected situations.
So the next time you find yourself faced with a similar situation, consider taking a lighthearted approach, and who knows, you might just come out ahead – without any innuendo intended! 😄 And as always, remember the importance of being considerate and respectful towards others, even in the face of frustration.
Knot a bad revenge at all!
Love this.
Bravo for the clever revenge! Serves her right for being so rude and entitled.
Did she care about his feelings?
She’s a frayed knot.
That was incredibly rude of her. I wear my very long hair up in public so that it doesn’t get into other people’s personal spaces.
Nicely done. If there was an interval, would have bought boiled sweets, and a few are likely to accidentally come out of my mouth. At speed.
Girls with crazy long hair always make it their entire personality. “Treat me like royalty because I have long beautiful hair”
Your husband is silent but deadly… in a knotty way.
Once when I was on an 8-hour flight, the woman in front of me flipped her long hair over the back of her seat … right into my airline meal. I didn’t care too much because I had finished eating, but it still pissed me off. So I gently adjusted my food tray so more of her hair was soaking in the chicken in brown sauce. Not my problem. She put it there first. And then she had to spend the next 7 hours with airline food goo in her, um, luxurious hair.
Gum… ooops!
Man I would of been dipping her hair in every sauce they had available at the consession stand
As I’ve suggested to other folks (guys) who have had this happen:
Very gentle, slow rhythmic tugging, accompanied by slow, quiet, rhythmic moaning, increasing in speed and volume.
I’d call it a tie.
Bravo!
If she doesn’t want to bring her hair forward over her shoulder and sit in her lap, why should he have it in his lap?
Shit, she’s lucky I wasn’t in your husband’s place. I would’ve pressed my knees up against her nasty hair and thereby pinning it to the back of the chair. If you’re going to invade my space, there’s a price to pay. Every single time she moves her head, her hair is getting pulled. I’m sure it wouldn’t take long for her to move that shit. No empathy for people who behave like asshats.
He should have knotted her hair around the chair. See how easily she could get that out 🤣
I used to have very long hair and may have been guilty of a careless dangle.
I cut it in my twenties, after teenagers sitting behind me on public transport w*nked into it on a long bus journey! They got off the bus before I realised…
Edit for typo
She’s lucky he didn’t stick gum in it. Or worse.
I had someone do this to me on a plane once. She was hanging her insanely long hair over the back of her seat and flicking it to hit my face periodically … I was chewing gum at the time and was VERY tempted… I just tolerated it and then bitched about it later like the polite British person I am 😆
She should be grateful it wasn’t chewing gum.
I would have tied her to the chair with it.
That’s so ridiculous though. I used to have really long hair and I would never have put it over the back of the chair. That’s not where long hair goes. If you’re going to have long hair, that hair still needs to stay in your personal space instead of someone else’s. There aren’t different rules for hair.
Husband for the win and the crowd silently cheers.
Always carry fingernail clippers in your purse. She could have gotten a nice haircut by the end of the show.
Completely justifiable retaliation, by my standards. Then again, I was at a very large, loud concert years ago, sitting on temporary stands with folding chairs on them. A guy in front of me kept jumping up to cheer, and every time he did, he drove his chair back so it smashed into my knees. After the second or third time, I tapped him on the shoulder to ask him nicely to stop. He didn’t even acknowledge me and just kept doing it.
It hurt.
It pissed me off.
But I had a pack of Carefree peppermint gum in my pocket because I was a chewing addict at the time.
I worked my way through the pack over the course of the concert, making little balls of chewed gum and dropping them into his thick head of curly hair while I tried unsuccessfully to keep my knees away from the impact zone. When the concert ended, the lights came up. I was able to see the results of my efforts.
Even I was taken aback. His head looked like a mulberry tree filled with tiny white fruit. It would be quite the scissor job to get it all out.
I didn’t say a word to my friends and followed them as we headed out with the crowd. Right as we were leaving, I heard the voice of one of the culprit’s buddies say, “Wait—turn your head.”
I’ve never felt the slightest bit of remorse.
A very different story than I expected. I thought she was going to be sitting in his lap, but no- she had decided it was her hair rest. Hilariously odd and audacious.
Treats her right for tangling with him.
My mom tells an anecdote about how someone was doing the same thing to my dad at a baseball game. My mom went and got a hot dog with ALL the fixings and got my dad to hold it on his knee. The girl was not impressed but kept her hair to herself after that.
While he was knotting her hair she probably thought he was playing with her hair. I’ve had long long hair before and I always knew when someone was touching it.
To those who have really long hair: can you not feel it?
A gal sat in front of me in my psychology class and would flip her hair on my desk top, it annoyed me so much that I would arrive early to move her desk up about 4 inches, occasionally she would notice her desk moved and move it back to its original spot. When she did this, I would strategically hold down several of the hairs with my pencil eraser and wait for her to move, when she did it would pull those hairs out of her head. It gave me some satisfaction to see those hairs pull out. Passive-aggressive behavior for a psychology class. Satisfyingly so.
