Not much more to the story, he looked at my head and saluted me.  I've also been called kojack and mr. clean by employees.

Just the way they do it and the way they say it.  They are just trying to be funny/assholes...  I found it to be quite disrespectful.

Don't let them know that it bothers you and they'll get bored and move on.

If someone's gonna be an a$$hole, it never bothers me (unless it's something that hits me in the wallet), because, well, they're assholes and why should I care what an a$$hole thinks?

Really. Consider whether these people's opinions are important to you, and if not, then what's the issue?

Salute back, adding carry on soldier or private.

In the military, it was always the lower ranking that saluted first, to the officer.

Don't let emotion lead your reactions, use your head.

In fact you should have said "At ease Recruit"   That, as any serviceman can tell you is lower than any soldier or Marine private because they are "lower than whale $h&t and that is on the bottom of the ocean :*))

Hi dog20!

As I've said in another post, people react differently to things they don't understand.  As long as you are happy with your appearance that is all that really matters. O0

Some people are just gonna be the douche-dongle. If someone fell, they would laugh instead of help. If those people accepted you, then there would be real concern. The reason they go after you is because they automatically sense you as a challenge now. Seriously man...Take a good look at the dilweeds that offer offense to you. Watch how they treat other people. And then pay attention to how LADIES treat you. I don't even offer an insult to people who try to tear me down. Sometimes I just shake my head like I'm ashamed I even HEARD their attempt at an insult, and other times (and this is if it does bother me) I over-enthusiastically tell them how funny their insult was. "Mr. Clean?! Classic, DUDE! Yeah...good one! I like that...MISTER CLEAN! DUDE! I have NEVER heard that one. Seriously. You've GOT to be the first person to ever use that joke. DAMN! I feel so stupid now! Hey guys! He called me MISTER CLEAN! Get it? My head's bald...so is Mr. Clean's. Comedic genius."

Sometimes I just give them a look like "what the hell are you hiding and give it up". The remarks like that are normally from idiots who struggle themselves with their own identity and mpb.

Don't care about it! Some ppl are just idiots.

I am glad that I never had problems with my bald head in the job. Not many people seem to care about it at all. Some just ask why I shave it all off and I just answer that I like it beeter that way and that it won't change for a long time.
