no respect for authorityFuck that.
In high school the head coach of the football team repeatedly told me I had to cut my hair and I repeatedly ignored him.
Then one day a few of us were at his house having a few beers and going over game films. The coaches and the captains. A strategy session. And he just flat out said "If you don't cut your hair, I'm going to cut you off the team".
I called his bluff. I retorted that he would lose his defensive & special teams captain and the only person on the team that could accurately and consistently longsnap the ball. And since I was the team leader, team morale would go to shit.
Then I pulled out the Trump card. I told him that if he cut me I would still play football, I would just be playing for the Panthers. Our arch rival.
He balked and barked that I lived in his team's district. And I pointed out the fact that my parents were divorced and had joint custody. I could change my address to my father's residence, which would put me in the Panthers' district.
He never complained about my hair again. It just got longer and longer over the years until it was down to my ass.
