13 facts of life you'll only relate to if you're ginger

It’s not easy being ginger, you know.

1. First of all, you’ve been on the receiving end of some ‘gas’ jokes in your time

For example:

“Have you ever read, eh, what’s it called? Oh yeah, this book called Pubes.”

“Have I read Pubes?”

“I DON’T KNOW, HAVE YOU?”

2. Headlines like this simultaneously make you feel like a special snowflake and a genetic anomaly

3. You’re forced to lather yourself in Factor Ginger whenever the sun comes out in Ireland

Sure, it might only be 18 degrees, but it’s Factor 50 or nothing.

5. After all, you don’t want this to happen…

“YOU SHOULDN’T BE DOING THAT, YOU’RE GINGER.”

7. On holidays, you’re often the most exotic-looking person there

On account of your pallor and gingerness. (Especially if you’re in Asia or South America.)

Indeed, you’ve probably been asked for a photo.

8. You’ve chanced your arm and pretended to people that you’re either (a) Ed Sheeran or (b) Ed Sheeran’s Irish cousin

12. People are always giving opinions about your hair colour

“Oh my God, I’d love your hair. You should never dye it.”

13. Finally, there’s nothing funnier to you than when a ginger claims to be “strawberry blonde”

Oh honey, you’re in denial.
