I can't be bothered with haircuts. I tend to have a few inches off every so often, but even that is increasingly rare these days. That said my hair is reaching a length that is becoming cumbersome. It is currently about half way down my back, which means it gets in the way on the back of chairs, coats, backpacks etc.
Also, as a male individual with long hair, I seem to garner quite a lot of verbal abuse from strangers including such remarks as "He looks like a fucking girl." (spoken to his friend, deliberately loud enough for me to hear as I passed them), "Are you a girl or a boy?" (drive-by derision from two girls riding bikes), and "Get a fucking haircut." (common among those in cars driving past or stopped at a pedestrian crossing I'm using, for some reason). Rather than encouraging me to conform to these intolerant people's standards, it only induces the urge to cause physical damage to them or their property. I will never understand the reasoning behind insulting a complete stranger, unprovoked. The insults themselves are weak, but the intent to insult is upsetting.
I may have gone on something of a tangent there...
