Duct tape hat
Working downtown means that you see an odd thing or two. Today I saw a person who had their head wrapped in duct tape.
I was walking back to my office after getting a to-go order of beans and rice at the federal office building's cafeteria when I saw someone ahead of me with a gray baseball cap. As I got closer, I realized they were wearing a baseball cap covered in duct tape. As I got right behind them, I realized they didn't have a cap covered in duct tape -- they'd wrapped their head in duct tape! Strange.
It struck me that it must be uncomfortable. It was awfully hot today. Wrapping your head in duct tape would probably make it worse.
It also struck me that removing the tape wouldn't be pleasant. I'd suspect the tape would stick to your hair. Pulling it off would be like pulling a bandage, only worse.
