I had a funny experience at work today and I wondered if anyone has had a similiar experience.  I am a redhead and live in San Antonio, TX where the population is predominately Hispanic so red is not a common color.

I am a nurse and we were finishing up a procedure where the patient had some sedation.  As I was getting ready to transport the patient he said, "I really like your hair."  I thanked him.  Then my patient said, "Tell me a story."  I was not entirely sure I had heard him right (and he did have sedatives in his system)  I asked him to repeat himself and he requested a story about something interesting I have done.  He said, "With hair like that you must lead a very interesting life."

True, there is a picture of me with a bird on my head on this board  but that is about as interesting as my life gets.  I was wondering if anyone else, especially my fellow redheads, have had a similiar experience.

I do wear alot of purple and deep blue.  I would not describe myself as fiery but more stubborn.  Perhaps because I am a Sag (the most benign of the fire signs)  My husband knows the discussion/argument is over when I cross my arms over my chest.  And yes, I love a good practical joke.

I've seen those experiments where people do one thing as a blonde and the same thing again as a brunnette.  I would like to see them do some red head experiments too.

My doctor told me that redheads don't react to medications the same way those with other haircolors do.  As for the rest, I think that because readheads are relatively rare, people perceive them as being different and expect them to act that way. 

LOL!so cute

i'm not a redhead, but i have wished i had red hair for as long as i can remember- since like age 5 or something

I have many red-headed friends in my art college, so maybe they're artistically inclined, too?
