I scare kids now!
The Anvil:
I love the way my slick head looks, but people are a little more scared of me the last few days! I am used to getting a pretty wide lane of travel as old folks and parents clear a path when I move past, but now it is ten times worse! Paul

Brother, at 6'5" 310 I have the same problem sometimes, the only thing I can tell you is try to smile more often and a kind "hello" works sometimes. Some people are still afraid of their own shadow so it won't help all the time.
Shaf:
Same here. I find myself smiling loads ;D ;D ;D just to calm down anxieties in certain people I meet. Teens in main give the silent gorping treatment.
slyinglide:
Same here.......but I smile a lot and ask them if they want to feel my head and everything is O.K.

Similar stories, it seems. I was at a 7-11 getting a cold drink. An elderly couple was looking hard at me, the woman was actually clutching her purse in fear.
After about four minutes of the glaring, I turned to the couple, cracked a huge S.E.G. and pointed at my noggin. I exclaimed "SUPERCUTS! Never go there. This could happen to YOU!"
Well, the old man lost it. I thought he was going to pass out from laughing so hard. The woman got an instant of mortification on her face, then joined in with the laughter. I guess she realized just how silly she was being.
It's not like we're all skinheads...
