I once knew a girl who shaved her head bald. Her default response to "Does the carpet match the drapes?" was "That depends, is my head bleeding?"
How often is she asked that question though?
I was a doorman at a popular niteclub, she was out partying damn near every weekend for a while, I saw it happen twice in person.
Drunk people arent all that witty and they are very predictable.
Blonde and ginger women get asked plenty.
I can easily see a shaved head elicit the same dubious approach.
Any woman I've ever talked with has their fair share of weird, inappropriate crap thrown their way, this just par for the course.
Isn't once enough ?
OP said it was their “default response” which suggests this happens often which seems weird.
I can't really assess whether that question is common, because I am a man and no equivalent of it exists in french, my native language. So I would trust the commenter above that this is a common enough occurrence that their friend has a default response for it
Using my powers of induction: "mmm... often enough to need a default answer."
