Stupid comment come-backs

Ok, so someone says something stupid about your sexy dreads. What do you say back?

I wanna know what you say back to these sorts of comments:

"Errughh Dreads are soooo dirty!!"

"You know you'll have to shave your head right?"

"Ahh but you can't wash dreads!"

Etc etc ^^

I wanna know cus I'm going to a party this week and there will be some enemies and people I don't know, so I wanna be stocked up with witty anwers for the conformist sheep who may cross my path ^^

 

just be cool about it and say, actually, lots of people say that type of thing but it's only because they don't know anything about dreadlocks... would you like me to tell you all about it or would you like to continue making ignorant comments to perfectly normal people?

 

^^ so true. I just got dreadlocks today and I have to go to summer school tomorrow with a bunch of kids I dont know. And my dreads look horrible.

 

i always say, "with all due respect, my hair is probably cleaner than yours!!". which is damm true considering how well i take care of my hair, no shitty chemicals in my hair, thank you

 

just step on their toes with your big ass boots

 

Take it all in stride and just remember 'it's easier to wear slippers than to carpet the world.' And if that doesn't work, do what Pandy said.

 

usually I will go with sarcasm/irony and say something on the lines of

Wait!!1 you actually have to wash hair!?

or So thats what they are

or usually just do a maniacal laugh at nothing and they will leave thinking you are crazy

 

When people ASK things that aren't so ridicules, I will answer...its when they TELL me things, then it isn't fun for anyone. Except me. I laugh and walk away, It makes them feel dumb.

 

No you shutup

 

say you chew up chickpeas and spit on them as shampoo

 

Haven't tryed it myself, but you could say "so's your face" scrubs style

 

Just tell them you don't have dreads

 

ROFL god you guys are awesome xD Haven't laughed this much in ages xD

Chickpea and lentil shampoo ;D lathered up by my cat's rabies ^^

Yea, those boots will come in handy pandy

And Jason, thats sooo true xD

Daisy, I'll use that one ;D Laugh to be confident then SPROUT the 'you know nothing' line ;D

YAY for awesome comebacks!! Keep em coming

 

I don't get those kinds of comments. Guess my hair is just a lot cleaner than yours.

But seriously, I don't really get those kinds of comments.

 

The members of this forum are a lot wittier and funnier than I. I laughed out loud at a few of the suggestions.

 

Kick them in the vagina.


No, not really. I usually say "well, no offence, but I'd rather have dreads than hair treated with toxic chemicals, like most people." Or something along those lines.

 

oki what I suggest is first down a good few bevy's as you'll get a lot more ballsy and snappy. If some chick comes up to me with shiny glossy hair, drunk and asks me about them in an asshole way I answer as if I'm not getting the bitchy comments while stroking her hair then I start twisting and ripping till she stops me while saying 'your hair is perfect for dreads, you'd look so good with them'
they get kind of freaked out thinking that there's nothing you can do since yo t&r one
or else just say 'well your boyfriend loved them last night'
or elseeee smile and nod till later and your dancing, go crazy on the dancefloor whipping your hair around the place preferably his/her face

 

I remember when we went on a school camp thing, and this guy who was doing the high ropes had dreads. This girl (who was quite a few years younger than him ) told him his dreads would mean he had to have head lice. He said something about how the sea-water kills them all. It was funny and the girl looked really stupid.

I like dreads, I dunno.. It's your hair you should be able to do what you like!

 

who cares about shaving your head? hair grows back...

dirt is relative. im sure im covered in dirt right now, i just cant see it, nor does it affect me.

 

I haven't had any comments that are too off the wall. Just usually questions and then people who 1/2 listen to the answer cause they think they already know the answer.

Mostly I've heard about having to shave my head.

I do like the idea of "so's your face." That made me laugh so hard I almost peed a little.
