Why do men think it's okay to sniff a complete stranger's hair and tell her it smells nice? I had my court date for my accident today and while I stood in line waiting to pay my fines, a man behind me (old enough to be my father) told me that I looked nice in my blue dress. That was a lovely compliment. Thank you, complete stranger, for the confidence boost! He then, took his hat off to smell his own hair and told me that it was dirty and smelled like sweat. So I said "Oh, we'll it's pretty hot outside today." I turn around and he proceeds to sniff my hair and tell me that it smells nice and clean, but his is smelly and dirty. I was reminded of a creepier Glendon Emmons with poor personal hygiene, and I immediately wanted to take another shower. I do shower and practice good hygiene, but it's really not an invitation to sniff my hair. It's not endearing, it's creepy. Please don't do it. Thank you! : )

I sincerely hope Glendon reads this , finds you, and sniffs your hair seductively.
