You never see more than one in any friendship group, so what does that tell you? Quotas are quotas. Just be grateful your ‘friends’ are doing their bit.

“Red hair and a hand-me-down robe. You must be a Weasley.”

3. You get abuse every time you go down the biscuit aisle.

You went in for a pack of Hobnobs and came out with an identity crisis.

4. You got kicked out of the jazz band because you have no soul.

If only there was a succinct way of using that as an insult. Oh well.

10. You’re the product of a genetic experiment rather than a set of loving parents.

“Hold still” – the two words every ginger has heard more than anyone.
