Stick drawing by yours truly. Not to scale. Not even close ... I ask for no forgiveness.This story comes from Isabel who discovered ThisCrazyTrain.com on BlogTO.
In the mornings on the GO Train I love to nap. It's early and I'm tired.
It already drives me crazy when people talk on their cellphones in the morning, or poke me with their elbows/bags/umbrellas, etc and wake me up. But this particular morning was ridiculous because a woman who was sitting at the seat behind me (so that our seat backs were connected, and we "shared" a head rest), kept flipping her long, crunchy blonde hair up into the air, and whipping it behind her like she was in a hip hop video... and her hair WOULD LAND ON MY HEAD!! It would wake me up every time I fell back asleep, and I literally had somebody else's hair ON MY FACE! And she did this repeatedly! I know I should probably have just asked to stop but I felt ridiculous telling her that her hair was on my head.
Anyway, this story makes me sound insane, but it would be comforting to know that it has happened to other people too.
Thanks,
Isabel

I have had that happen to me too. Ick! Happens more with the shorter headrests than the new ones which are much higher (at least for me).
You are an artist! You should do stick drawings for every reader-submitted story.
If the hair was long enough, I'd have considered biting it and hanging on a bit while growling.
That should be enough to both put a stop to it, and prevent the hair wagger from verbally engaging what clearly must be a dangerous individual.
Next time... grab it a second and when she freaks out say... "Im sorry did that bother you? Because you're hair flicking has been bothering me the entire trip!"
Maybe she will stop.
