After pizza last night I was accosted by some drunk shouting "f***ing ponytails" and similar endearments at me. I think that's the first time somebody random has verbally abused me about my long hair: certainly I've in general got much less in the way of stick since I grew my hair, maybe because it makes me look older this way.

I was slightly disconcerted because he was walking towards me and getting quite close, but there were plenty of people around and he was obviously incapable so I wasn't actually worried. I cycled off anyway and shouted "drink less" back at him, which was the best rejoinder I could come up with at short notice without sinking to his level.

All very strange.

I can so imagine you doing that :)
(then telling him you don't fuck ponies?)

I'm reassured to hear that I don't count as someone random :)

Your comeback lacks a little in the way of rapier wit, but I fear that were Oscar Wilde the one being shouted at, his pithy retort would have been wasted on someone who can't find anything better to have a go at you for than your ponytail!

Kudos for saying *something* rather than just riding off muttering to yourself, mind.

Meh. That sort of thing always rather scares me, probably because I'm a wuss.
