    a young lad with new dreads asking me a few questions about dreads said have you ever got your dreads caught in anything over the years i could list a couple at the time and thinking it over there has actually been many an occasion haha

    car windows - when wound up usuall dont notice till i have to look both ways at intersection

    VELCRO - fucking **** of an invention

    tree branches and spiky plants

    cordless drill - ouch almost ripped 2 dreads out of my skull as it wrapped up completly requred assistance to remove alwas tie up hairs when near spinn objects

    chicken mesh can be nasty stuff

    between 2 bits of wood nailed together resulted in a half dread

    kittens claws and teeth whilst sleeping great way to wake up early morning

    etc etc

    Iv'e Only Had One Bad Experience

    And That Was On A Ride On Mower, Went Under A Low Branch And It

    Nearly Took Me Off The Back Of The Mower, Fortunatly It Was

    Automatic And I Thought Quickly And Slammed It Straight Into Reverse....:).

    Had To Break The Branch Off And Carefully Remove It Whilst Looking

    In A Mirror.

    I Can't Believe Two Or Three Dreads Would Have The Strength To Move

    A Man, And It Hurt Like Hell...:(.

    Nowdays Everything I Do In The Garden Or Workshop Requires A Beanie...:).



    Cheers Glen.

    I like this thread already.
    Many of the same for me...
    I've done the window and car door
    velcro
    lots of vegetation
    dogs teeth
    my own facial piercings. Especially when I wear a circular barbell in my septum.
    zippers

    All I can think of right now.

    yeah zips suck

    sounds pretty brutal glen

    also on some bunk beds the top mattress sits on criss crossed wire that can capture you 100 times at once

    braces both mine and girlfriends

    other peoples piercings in mosh pits

    also in the pits during simultaneous windmilling with fellow metal dredheds somehow epic tangling can occur

    i have one of those pull up bars in a doorway and it has the velcro straps on it.. walking under that bitch snagged me one time and brought me to a stop.

    tree branches of course.

    also the little pull cord thingy on a ceiling fan.

    Just the usual.

    Branches, sunglasses, ice cream, velcro.

    The worst is sitting in a chair, slightly slouched and all comfy. Then something interesting happens so you try and lean forward to see but your hairs stuck in between your back and the chair. Shit happens to me like 20 times a day.


    And fuck velcro.

    all the typical stuff. Velcro is shit.

    but the worst is the stupid nose rest thingies on my glasses, when they get pushed up onto the undreaded root part right near my scalp.

    arrrrrg
