A Boston man thought a stranger had mistaken his headband for a hat. It turned out she had mistaken his entire hairstyle for one. TikTok creator London LaMarr says the woman walked up and said, “Nice hat.” He assumed she meant his headband. “I thought she was slow. That’s what I was thinking.” He says he wondered why anyone would call a headband a hat.
In a follow-up video, LaMarr explains how the mix-up happened. LaMarr says she told him, “Oh, that’s a bun in your head.” He answered, “You thought the whole shebang was a hat.” They both laughed, and he calls the moment “a Kiki.” The confusion was harmless, unlike the experience of a woman who realized an elderly stranger’s complaints about how women dress were actually a dig at her own outfit.
