Is this at all acceptable?

1) Your username is AtheistGuy. Not that I have a problem with you being an atheist, I'm with you there, but your attitude seems deliberately confrontational.

2) You have dandruff yet refuse to do anything about it. You don't even see whats wrong with it. I often get dandruff so thats not the issue, it's your attitude.

3) You don't talk to many people. So either you don't want to talk to people, or they don't want to talk to you. Either way you use this limited sample of people to say that people don't care whether you have dandruff or not.

I think I know everything I need to know about you.

Well he is creepy, but all old people are because socially acceptable behavior is really not something they give a shit about.

And you are very odd, do you really find hygiene that problematic?

 

[rutger5000]

For a mother/grandfather/grandmother this is perfectly acceptable. Your grandfather is well enough to be a bit excentric, and you drove him into a difficult situation. I suppose you live under his roof, though that doesn't rob you from free will, it does allow him to sabbotage your attempts of being stupidly stubborn.
Also severe longlasting dandruff probably would made you bald faster.

 

[JayElleBee]

You're being unnecessarily stubborn. Head and Shoulders is an awesome brand (they all smell awesome and my hair is always cleaner after I use it than it is with other brands) and there is absolutely no benefit to having dandruff, so there's no reason for you to be so uptight about keeping it. Jeez. What kind of person wants to walk around with dead skin in their hair? :/ That's just not right dude.

Your granddad shouldn't be forcing the drops on you, but on the other hand, you shouldn't be forcing your dead skin on him.

 

[actelon]

That's weird but maybe he thinks he's helping you out like "oh when you wake up you'll think they've magically vanished" or um...something =/

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

Anyone doing anything in your sleep that isn't your BF, GF, Wife, Husband, Master, etc is creepy. They recently made this thermometer for children that is advertised as "So easy you can do it when they are sleeping".

I really think you should do something about dandruff. Being someone whose suffered from it himself I highly recommend if you ever want to attract someone you will need to do something about your dandruff problem first.

However, what your Grandfather is doing is just creepy, even if he has your best interest at heart.

WTF? is that a fricken pie symbol?

You seem to be under the impression that it's severe dandruff. It's actually a very mild case that's visible only when: A. You Are actively trying to look for it (i.e. getting close, moving my hair around to see my scalp) , or B. Deliberately messing with my hair. My grandfather does the former.

 

[Granny Smith 07]

just use some damn shampoo, you already shower right? Head and Shoulders Ocean Lift is awesome and it will help your problem, if you don't want your weird g-pa creeping on you just do the logical thing and quit being weird about it

 

[razer17]

It is a bit weird, but here's the thing: You live with him, his house, his rules. If he is bothered by dandruff get some Head and Shoulders, it's not really different to using a different shampoo anyway, so why WOULDN'T you use it? Unless you don't wash your hair at all, I suppose, but then you have completely different issues.

 

[Mylinkay Asdara]

So to make a long story short, I have dandruff. This dandruff bothers my grandfather (Who I live with). I don't want to use any shampoo for it since it, quite honestly, doesn't bother me in the least. So he's taken it upon himself to actually put some drops on my head to get rid of it. The problem? I'm asleep when he does it.

SO it's a pretty straightforward question. Is this acceptable?

No idea. How old are you? I mean no offense, but if you are a well-spoken 11 year old making this post, then yes, your grandfather is looking out for you and you probably should have listened to him in the first place anyway. If, on the other hand, you are old enough to be shaving, driving around, or buying your own porn (legally) then it's creepy - but, in that case, I will point out that your grandfather is from a different generation and may not feel that his assistance is inappropriate - we've become increasingly individualistic through time and view such actions as an invasion of personal space much more readily than someone would have 50+ years ago.

Then again, as many have said, just address the problem. You have two options: get into an altercation with your grandparent (who is obviously involved in your life enough to have access to you as you sleep on a regular basis) or wash your hair with dandruff shampoo. Whichever one of those seems easier for you.

 

[Aerosteam]

It's really your choice whether to get rid of the dandruff or not.

Just lock or barricade your room, 'cause what your grandfather is doing is just... strange.

Another suggestion, do the same thing to him and see if he likes it.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Yeah, it's not okay for him to do that but he's also incredibly right to be disgusted. Seriously, it's changing your shampoo so you're better groomed. Why would you not want that? I can't stand people who are poorly groomed.

 

[Cowabungaa]

That's pretty creepy, true, but dandruff is pretty damn gross dude.

 

[ajemas]

If you are bothering him with it then I think that your grandfather is being perfectly reasonable. I would assume that flakes are getting all over yourself and the house, which must be very trying for him. It is his home, and you should respect his wishes.

 

[Hazy992]

Yeah that's creepy as hell.

Even so it's a little odd you won't sort your dandruff out. You must at least wash your hair with regular shampoo, right? So what's the big deal with switching to some Head and Shoulders?

 

[Jonluw]

So... what you're saying is your grandfather squirts white, creamy liquid in your hair while you're sleeping?

 

[Palademon]

I am almost brought to tears by the number of people judging someone based on them having dandruff. Makes me want to tear my braces out for the mere idea that someone I may ever care about may treat me differently based on straighter teeth.

I used to have dandruff, or if I still have it, not much, and I didn't do anything that should've changed that. I tried getting rid of it with shampoo and it never worked. I am getting depressed thinking that people might've considered it reasonable to avoid or dislike me based on that. Deliberately keeping it may be unusual, but why the fuck should anyone care?

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

Was he right to violate your freedom of choice like that? No.

Do I still however have more sympathy with him than I do with you? Yes.

The fact is mate, people don't like dandruff, and for good reason. By refusing to combat something that is incredibly easy to control your not making some kind of heroic stand against society's aesthetic values, you're just being anti-social. I used to have problems with my hygiene, and rather than actually deal with it when it would have been all too easy for me to do so, I ignored it, excused it, and got pissy at people who called me out on it. Looking back on those days I can say without doubt...

I was in the wrong.

You can get very effective anti-dandruff shampoo for very reasonable prices. There is no valid excuse not to.

 

[Woodsey]

Its weirder that you're willing to put up with dandruff to avoid putting in slightly more effort when washing your hair.

 

[Yureina]

That is rather creepy. With that said... you really should take care of that.
