So today, when I changed my profile Pic on Facebook, Mary commented "your eyes are red".....
to which I replied that I'd just bought a new 6 inch set of shears, and she should thank her lucky stars that she doesn't have a flat head......

It was that little interchange that made me wonder if I'd ever told the story here.

This is fantastic! I am wildly amused by this and so glad I don't have a flat head.

My friend Mary and I were working the closing shift at Regis on a Wednesday night in 1995.
The client in my chair was Ms. C Chew. She was a salon regular, and I was doing a haircut and style for her. To say that Ms. Chew was a bit odd was an understatement, and this particular evening it became quickly apparent just how odd she was.
Everything was going fine. I shampooed her hair and we chatted about what brought her to live in our area. Tonight, playing the dulcimer in a mountain folk group had lured her to Boone. As I was cutting her hair, she mentioned that she was selling some kind of car fragrance sachets, and asked did I want to purchase a few. I replied that I was very sensitive to fragrances and prone to migraines when exposed to those types of things. She said "Oh, Okay", and put them away.
I finished her haircut, and had it dried when she asked if I could layer it a bit more in the back because it was still quite thick. I said "Sure, no problem".......picked up the water bottle and sprayed her hair, then picked up my comb and scissors, and walked around behind the chair to cut some more of her hair. As soon as I did, she let out the gawdawfullest blood curdling screech I've ever heard in my life, jumped up out of the chair and ran to the front of the salon yelling that I "came at her with my scissors"........
I made the mistake of giggling a little bit, and telling her that I have to use them to cut hair.....
Then she starts screaming at the top of her lungs that my "eyes turned red, and she thinks that I'm possessed and trying to kill her".

I tried to explain to her that I was only trying to cut more hair as she had requested, but she only yelled at me that I better not try to follow her to her car. I said "Lady, if you think I'd follow you anywhere, you're batsh!t crazy"......then she started yelling that I was calling her crazy.
She was yelling that I'd never touch her hair ever again, and she demanded to call our manager from the salon to tell her of my possession and killer's heart......the manager made the mistake of laughing and that tipped Ms. Chew off a whole other cliff.
She started crying hysterically about how her head is flat, and how no one wants a woman with a flat head.....
Now, while all this was going on, Mary's client rolled out of her chair, he was laughing so hard. And Mary and I were training a new girl.....it was her first day with us. That girl was so mortified, that she went into the supply closet and stayed until closing.
We finally talked Ms. Chew into allowing Mary to finish the haircut....and the entire time, she was bawling about her flat head, and telling about losing a fiance because he found out her head was flat, and how she could have been a model if not for her flat head.....
And wondering if our manager would fire me, because obviously, I was possessed of a demon, and apparently had it in for flat headed people.

For years after that, every time Mary saw Ms. Chew in the mall, she did the "Psycho music" and pretended to be stabbing the air with scissors......yeah, we were slightly twisted. Once, Mary even asked me if I ever wished I'd just bought one of those damn sachets......
Sunny, your story should come with a disclaimer to make sure our underwear have fresh protection! I nearly wet myself and I did laugh until I cried! Oh that was a great story! Thank you so much for sharing! Why isn’t Ms. Chew in a sanitarium wearing one of those nice wrap around jackets that tie in the back and the walls of her room be made with heavy padding? Just one of life’s mysteries, I guess.

I'm telling ya, you can't make this stuff up!
We haven't seen Ms. Chew around for several years. We can only hope the Mothership beamed her back home......

D.J., Sunny isn’t a demon. Ms. Chew insisted she was possessed by a demon. Personally, I think Ms. Chew should go after the one that flattened her head. She’s not going to fit into any star system with that flat head. I wouldn’t wish Ms. Chew on any star system. Ms. Chew needs rewiring in the worst sort of way. And Sunny, you told your story beautifully. I wouldn’t change one syllable.

Why do they have air-conditioners going in places like public libraries and supermarkets on days that aren't even hot? It is absolutely pouring down rain outside at the moment. Also, I might'nt be able to come on here on for two weeks as I'm might be doing a course in CBT/SAD, and maybe the person mightn't want us to do social media.

I am seriously thinking that the global warming thing is a complete a total myth. It is going to be cold and possible snow showers. C'mon spring.
Somebody explained the global warming thing to me and how part of it includes colder months. Something about the ice caps melting, glaciers falling and causing us to be all brrr.

We have Crazy Mary as a regular at our DIY center. She comes in almost every week 15 minutes before closing and always causes the center to delay ‘All Clear’ for about a half hour. All Clear is paged when the last customer leaves and we can use power equipment without spotters or aisle blockers. Crazy Marys’ probably been in the center a thousand times looking for product to meet her sometimes bizarre needs. She knows where everything is yet always requires assistance. We all rush to help her otherwise she’ll wander around the center forever. Last night she came in again and headed over to my department. She said she has parakeets and they keep laying eggs and having chicks. She got a hold of a very large bird cage and is afraid the chicks might escape through some areas that have larger openings in the cage. I asked her how long she has had this cage. She said about two years. I asked her how many times the chicks have escaped. She said never, but solar activity is causing the chicks to become smaller and smaller with each breeding and doesn’t want to take the chance. I shouldn’t have asked and just helped her find what she wants. So I walked her around the center until I found something she liked and cost less than $6.00. But I got her out with 2 minutes before closing... Win, win! :)
