    19. You have to gingerly lay your hair across your bed, lest you lie down on it and then feel trapped whenever you try to move your head.

    20. If you don't, you risk either suffocation or just massive, messy knots.

    21. Drying/curling/straightening your hair takes so long (and tires your arms out so much) that you're usually working an "I woke up like this" look.

    23. You worry about staying with friends or going to hotels because you know their wimpy towels won't be enough.

    26. You, for a split second, think these little buddies are giant spiders whenever you take your clothes out of the dryer.

    27. You're forever feeling phantom hairs on your body, or wondering if that's a bug crawling on your skin.
