I recieved a text back saying "Don't worry, Ill just look out for the bald spot!"


And this person's comments are important to you why?

We so often let other people's thinking (and insensitivity) take priority over our own. That's just crazy!
Gotta go with FG on this one...

Cheers,
Ro

LM... this problem is easily solved... no fuzz on the side = no BALD SPOT!! Be done with it! I wore that buzz for a long time and then one day I looked at a photo of myself and realized that the buzz just accentuated my bald spots!! Shaved a few days later.

Whether U have hair or no hair... U are always going to hear stupid comments from stupid people.  I have heard many.  Initially... I want to say two words to them with the last word being.... "OFF!!!!".  Since... I am a sly gentleman... I just smile and keep on being a super SBG!!! 8) O:O O0

LOL Warhawk. Life would be so much simpler if we could just say "F**k Off!" to people who irritate us

Peculiar how Americans say 'co-worker'.

It's 'colleague' almost everywhere else !!!

Somehow in American English "colleague" has taken on the implication of someone else with the same skill set or profession, whether you work in the same place or not, versus "co-worker" is someone with whom you share an employer, whether you have the same skill set or not.  Not sure why the difference in usage outside the US.

Not to be uppity, but I have some co-workers whom I would not equate with colleagues - different skill sets, work ethics, etc. Not that they are better or worse, just different. And no disrespect intended.

Colleague at work is a fellow baldie. Worse case of MPB. Sits next to me. He's clearly just shaved what's left of his hair. Now he keeps rubbing his smooth head. It's driving me bonkers !!

Mind you, reckon I'm just as addicted to rubbing my own smooth head.

LMAO!  I can definitely relate to that!  I think of it as "uppity" only if it something you voice, versus just being mindful of how not to behave or reinforcing your own good performances.  When I see a co-worker or a colleague do something well, I appreciate it and try to emulate it.  And the reverse is also true, lest I slip up and head where they have already gone.

Thus giving rise to one of my favorite quotes,

LMAO!  You guys are hilarious!
If it is of any help, I am American and I still spell the color "grey" and not "gray" - the consequences of having a first grade teacher who was British!
