Believe me, the suffering and humiliation of it all. I coached softball once and everyone had to wear a ball cap. The strap adjuster was "set" on the last hole. The cap should had fit but did not. I wore it like a catcher does backwards all the time. Once I had to umpire a softball game and the cap fell off on home plate covering the plates edge. A kid was to slide into home, and instead slid into the brim of my cap missing the plate. I had to rule against the run and than I was forced into retirement.
My large cranium has stretched and broken countless pair of eye glasses. One security company refused to hire me because of no experience but I think it is because the size of my head would be an easy target for a fist or a bullet. Nicknames like "Bowling Ball Head" or "Moon Head" have always plagued me. At one office party they needed a pinata, and modeled it in the shape of my head. With all the people who want rights mandated against discrimination, Perhaps I should to jump on this band wagon all because of my large cranium. Big headed people should unite. If a bird lands on your head, if a cap doesn't fit if you cant find a job, if your neck is sore from holding up your big head, this writer understands. As you age it may be easier to say no, or to say yes when asked a question. If you nod in either of these situations you risk a back, or neck sprain or what lawyers and physicians refer to as a cervical neck sprain. Perhaps if you could prove it if a interviewer asks you to nod a yes or no, and you do and receive an injury and do not get the job, perhaps there could be a question of liability. If an employer reads this stop the abuse of all people with big heads. We have rights too.
