Without any hesitation.
I had long hair (blonde, very thick and curly) in my late teens. Back then men with long hair were pretty rare outside the larger cities, so I usually got a large variety of insults nearly every time I went to countryside.
Sometimes people would throw money at my feet and yelled "Go to a barber, freak!" I always thanked them out loud and then I picked the money up.
Free money is always nice.
People throwing money at you because you have long hair seems somewhat unbelievable just saying
Nowadays, definitely.
But a few decades ago in my backwater country this was reality. It happened to me twice on different regions and one of my friends who also had long hair told me it had also happened to him. I only got pocket change, but still enough to buy a can of beer ;)
At the time we deduced that there had to have been some broadcast TV show which had given them this bizarre idea, since widespread Internet access was years away at the time.
But as if this was not enough, the wierdest heckling I got was when I walking the dog with my girlfriend and a group of guys about our age passed us and called us "fucking gay". My girlfriend was feminine, pretty and I was very far from both.
It was a very, very strange time.
