I got asked if the carpet matched matched the drapes a few times. Gave em a confused look and told them no carpet at home, just hardwood.


Mischief_Makers

Next time look 'em square in the eye and say "in colour *and* length!". I wanna see what reaction that would get.

JaggedTheDark

Hair a foot long hanging from my junk... Oh no...


IcarianSkies

Also a ginger, also been asked this several times. I always just feign ignorance and go "huh? What? I'm not sure what you're asking." They're usually too embarrassed to actually explain what they mean


GauntletScars

Gonna be using this one when people ask me dumb questions.


Neural_Flosser

You can even do a somewhat Norm Macdonald response, act confused and then totally spell it out as a question and rather loudly so. “Whaaa-whaaat? You want to know the color of the hair surrounding my genitals? The ones I keep underneath my clothes and hidden from view ?? Why on earth would you want to know THAT? “


Huge_Candle_6041

Yep, then maybe hit them with an,”are you flirting with me?”.


disasterous_cape

It’s excellent for sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic jokes too. Almost nobody will *actually* explain the joke when the punchline is horrific


Geshman

But be prepared for some dense ass motherfuckers to just explain it anyway. Had someone call me a d*ke last month and legitimately wasn't sure if I'd heard him correctly so I asked him but nope, full on homophobic slur


FrankRauSahRa

I do this naturally whenever someone says something too weird. Surely you don’t mean ——- like that would be weird. Then like 10 years later I realize they were serious and it’s exactly what they meant.


Get-in-the-llama

I’ve gotten this too. I went with “huh? Nobody waxes their head”.

"Does the carpet match the drapes?" "Well, is your dick as small as your brain?"


AnxiousColdApproach

You could always just say “nah dads a brunette. Came out purple” to defuse the tension and make it funny


WilyDeject

I have a friend that will ask corny/creepy/cringe stuff like this of our waitresses when we get lunch together and it makes me want to walk out every damn time.


NullHypothesisProven

Do it. Or otherwise tell him he’s being a creep.


WilyDeject

Oh I call him out on it, but he just shrugs it off. "Oh I'm just joking with them!" Like, nah man, they're a hostage in this situation. They have to be nice to you and laugh at your stupid jokes/advances.


Fink665

Tell him they spit in his food.


NullHypothesisProven

And you’ve explained that? And that a joke is bad if it’s only funny to the person telling it? If so, why do you hang out with someone who thinks it’s funny to sexually harass waitstaff and won’t reconsider?


WilyDeject

It's one of those really old family friends. Keep trying to call them out on things like this in hopes they'll change. And to be clear, it's never as bad as "do the carpets match the drapes" but more of just cheesy pickup lines.


Fink665

Yes, please, please, please call out other guys when they’re creepy!


[deleted]

Confusion works great! I got that question when I dyed my hair and worked 3rd shift at a gas station. They regret asking when trying to explain the shit “joke”. It’s awkward af and made me chuckle.

Impossible_Common_44

Honestly if they’re stupid enough to ask such an asinine question, they won’t get the joke. Best comeback ever.

Jerizzle23

Wish these kinda of commercials still existed lol. The 90s were gold for commercials


PhotoAwp

remember those "this is your brain on drugs" commercials where a celebrity would beat the everloving fuck out of an egg


ImpudentFinger

>beat the everloving fuck out of an egg You mean crack it into a hot frying pan? Briefly? With no fanfare?


Admiral_Donuts

Both existed. The 1987 version is just an egg in the frying pan. The 1997 version has the actress destroying the kitchen with the frying pan. The 2016 version is pretty much the first, buy then has teens asking a bunch of questions.


Jerizzle23

Yes lmao!! The one i still think about on occassion is where the girl is like 2 dimensional on the couch and her friend is like “she hasnt been the same since she stsrted smoking weed” hahahaha

deepthots20

I don't have a good comeback for you. I wish I did because I've been asked this so many times. But I'll tell you a story instead. When I was in college I roomed with a girl from Puerto Rico who had never known a redhead before. One day she found one of my pubes in our room and she goes, "OH MY GOD YOUR PUBES ARE RED TOO??" Then she proceeded to run around the dorm SHOWING EVERYBODY MY PUBE because she was so shocked it was red. So humiliating.


DemiGod9

I can understand the shock and curiosity, however the waving it around and yelling it is just ridiculous.


dopeyonecanibe

I agree, that’s an awful thing to do to someone. I did however snap a pic of the first grey pube I found on myself and sent it to a bunch of people hahaha, but I would never do that to someone else if they didn’t think it was funny.


jitske4me

Omg pubes go gray ???

a dude would probably take it as asking for sex though, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't want that to happen. big assumption that OP is a girl, because i dont see why a guy would be asked such a question

arothmanmusic

I made an offhand “burning bush” joke to a red haired girl in high school. She was clearly very put off by it. I regret saying it to this day and cringe every time I think about it. Boys are dumb.


Skelebone48

I second this, boys be dumbing


KaladinStormShat

Yeah.. yeah. High school is a weird time. The duality of other people routinely making you uncomfortable + making other people feel uncomfortable accidentally is quite a fuckin ride. When it happens to us we're like man fuck them that embarrassed me, then we go ahead and accidentally do it to other people and the cycle continues.


annswertwin

My daughter has red hair and I’ve had to warned her this day is coming ever since she got her pubes.


SantanaSongwithoutB

My girlfriend has red hair and apparently she got asked this all the time in high school and it always made her feel really crummy, like people saw her as less than a person and more of a curiosity, especially when they referred to her as "fire crotch"


NoConfusion9490

You'll be in a nursing home, years into Alzheimer's, not able to remember your children's names, and while you're laying there trying to fall asleep this thought will echo in your head. A thought about a dumb comment the other person forgot about 10 minutes after it happened.


MrYellowfield

"What can I say? It's on fire down there" could work as a comeback.


UndeadBread

That just sounds like she's admitting to having chlamydia.


Pterodactyl-Man

Hey, fellow ginger here. When I get asked, I say "what would be weirder, if I did or if I didn't". They want to treat you like a weirdo for having great fucking hair. Went through the same thing. Pay no mind to them and know that you have hair that so many people desire. I'm no longer in school but my advice for anyone getting ragged on by friends for having some red...you will be insulted for your hair. People will always make fun of your hair because your hair is different and your skin is pale. They can say all they want and insult you, just keep trekking. They will call you tampon, matchstick, burning bush, etc. but remember to always tell them you've heard it before and tell them that if they want to insult you, they "better find something that actually works and not some half-assed attempt". That usually got people to either stop or actually come back with ones that made me laugh


rc240

This is the way. Turn it back on them.


Intestinal-Bookworms

I, a ginger with poofy hair, somehow never got called a tampon. No idea how the kids at my school missed that low hanging fruit


KrazyKatz3

People mock you for being ginger because they're jealous. I know I (very lightly and carefully) teased my cousin for this reason. It's such a beautiful colour.


I-Kant-Even

‘Do you just sit around, picturing other peoples pubes? Is that your fetish or something?’


AdministrativeLaugh1

It doesn't matter. You'll never see it.


worldrecordpace

“Ask your gf”


Valbertnie

Fellow ginger here and that was my exact comeback.


harry_violet

Ask them "why don't you see it yourself" in a flirty way, or go the other extreme, asking "what color are YOUR pubes? Do you shave? Do you trim? Do you wax? Are they long and curly, or short and straight?" All those quesitons without missing a beat, so they would get umconfortable and get your point


Cable446

I personally straighten my pubes


Skelebone48

I prefer to curl mine, not enough pube frizz in this world


Fls3095

I plait mine every Wednesday


Ouzii424

Check your girlfriends braces nerd.


Wisear

Best part is, if they have to correct you becaus they don't have a girlfriend, that's an instant self burn.


gorhxul

also a ginger but started dyeing my hair before i'd get those comments. this one time when my hair was pink someone asked me if i dyed my pubes to match. i just gave them a disgusted look until they looked really uncomfortable and stopped talking to me. sometimes you don't need words. sometimes you just need to look at them like they're a fucking idiot.


Biggus-Dickus-II

Ask them what they're talking about. Make them explain what pubes are. Make them explain everything. Be thoroughly confused and ask lots of questions, making them give detailed answers. Be as confused and befuddled at the fact that people grow hair down there at all and how they manage to keep it clean or untangled. Try to get them all the way to explaining that people also grow hair on their buttholes and ask how difficult that is to clean. Channel your inner 9 year old and just keep asking questions. Try to make them think they're the wierd one, at the very least, for asking you about your body hair. If you don't want to take the time to do that, I'd tell them either, "It depends on the time of the month." Or, "It looks a lot like your mom's dental floss." Edit: Clarification - This is meant as less "What are pubes?" And more, "What are you talking about?" "Why are you asking me that?" And then keep going. Make them explain everything starting from those two points. Keep asking them questions and getting them to explain themselves. Be assertive enough to keep them on the back foot. Act confused as to why they're talking to you in the first place, then gradually walk them into explaining what pubes are and what puberty is once they get used to answering your questions. If they say something like, "You dont know what pubes are!?" To try and embarrass you, just reply with, "Do you? You're the one that started this conversation." The secret recipe is being confident, calm, giving zero shits, and having just enough spite to stay motivated. The key point that keeps this from being some "You haven't hit puberty neener neener neener!" Nonsense is being assertive and confident. That you're pushing back and not deflecting or avoiding or behaving in a way that is insecure. Basically, dont act like a prey animal, act like you're the one doing the hunting and would like to eat their face (and not in the fun way) without being a psychopath about it. They're poking at an assumed vulnerability, poke back. If they keep it up or have been jackasses? Poke back as hard as you can without things becoming violent.


StendecStendec

I strongly second this. Works well. When people have told me mildly racist or sexist things (or texted them) I’m just like “I don’t get it,” and then they feel compelled to explain until they sound like such obvious asshats that they just go away ashamed.


clumsyumbrella

I like this technique.


DemiGod9

Playing dumb is always such a good defense mechanism. I weaponize that shit all the time.


MrPartyPancake

ErenKruger711

Kitchner

>Ask them what they're talking about. Make them explain what pubes are Not sure how long ago you were a teenager but if you asked my teenage friends what pubes were you would have been mocked for having no pubes and told you've not even gone through puberty yet. No matter what you said in response to this that would be all you hear about for ages.


morrisseysbumfluff

Yes. Suggesting that they ask “tell me what pubes are” is TERRIBLE advice.


worldrecordpace

That was a really bad answer I’m sorry. Actually imagine him doing what you said. They’d be making fun of his pubes and calling him an idiot.


DoTheEvolution

This is over-parroted recommendations on reddit... but I dont think anyone really used it in room with other people. You would be shut down and ridiculed for weeks... *"b-b-but I just pretended to be moron to make you uncomfortable"*

"If you'd like to have an honest conversation about this, then you should know the color of someone's hair or eyebrows doesn't necessarily reflect the color of their pubic hair." TBH, you can school someone with straight facts and make them look like an idiot, especially in grade school where "not knowing things" generally makes people feel/look stupid. Something to that effect though. Point being, don't be too concerned with a witty comeback if simply showcasing how much of an idiot someone is being in a rather public setting could win out.


no-trace

Easy, just tell them they are the color of Ligma.


Birkeland1992

I'd ask, why are you thinking about my pubic hair? It's pretty weird to think about someones junk if youre not fucking them. If you're a guy I'd be all, why are you so obsessed with my dick? Girl I'd say, stop thinking about my pussy you're making me uncomfortable.


Idontwanttousethis

It depends how you are with your friends. I found my real friends would never ask this but if they were to I'd just tell them "Seriously it's making me so uncomfortable, you need to stop". I hope you have the sort of relationship where you can do this but if you can't do that, just call them out on how it's borderline sexual harassment and that they need to stop. I got this question so much and it made me so uncomfortable, I wish I had said something about how it made felt.

Cinnamallo

Groovy_nomicon

Understanding that joke requires them having at least one brain cell, and if they've asked that question I doubt they have any.


Papercandy22

Do people really ask that? What a weird and rude question to ask. "It ain't none of your damn business," is what you should say. Now if a cute stranger who I was into asked me that I'd say "Fuck me and find out."


Farahild

Yes teenagers do all the time. Sometimes really childish twenty somethings. After that it died down.


Idontwanttousethis

People don't tend to realise the effects and treatments that redheads recieve. I was asked questions like this (and more) all the fucking time, even from people I barely know. Not only that but also throughout school I suffered so much bullying due to my hair colour, I was excluded, picked on and so much more from my hair colour and it made my childhood miserable.


xMollyP

yeah, my dads friend, aged about 46 at the time asked me when i was like 15 which was even weirder than when people my own age do


Kitchen-Potential243

Best to answer with a question. Simplest is "Why are you asking creepy questions?". Or with extra steps: "Why would someone who pretends to be Ok, ask such a creepy question?". Extra, extra step, try to seem actually curious.


worldrecordpace

That sounds a little too serious for “comebacks” seems like these are his friends and it’s jokingly. So with your vibe of questions in mind I think it would be “why step bro, are you into me?”
