I want to go to your hair cutter person! I once had hair down to my butt and asked for a spiral perm (this was early 90s) and she hacked my hair off to my ears and I had a mushroom perm!!!!!!!! I have been terrified to get my hair cut ever since. I did go and wanted bangs and I told the guy that I have a colick and to leave it alone....he cut it so it was only an inch long. It's still growing out and I'm still aggravated.
I'm highly amused by your story. I'm the girl who gets everything stuck in my hair...gum, brushes, pipe cleaners, hot glue, wax. Also, on one of my birthdays a few years back, I was at my friends house and we were playing darts and we were having a good time when all of sudden people started yelling "YOUR HAIR IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!". My hair was mid-back length and the ends got caught in the candle flame. Hahaha. They all patted my hair out. It was pretty amusing.
