Teen Gothic

To put it in to view first I always have my hair teased so I assume that is why there was attention brought to it. I was in a thrift store with a friend and just as we were exiting she realized she forgot something so she went back to get it, I ended up waiting just by the shopping carts so I can keep an eye out for her. I started to pull my phone out to check the time when this lady, (possibly in her 30s-40s) comes out of no where and starts to touch my hair, before I could say anything she made a statement about how she thought it would be fluffy and she walked off, I think I stood there for maybe 5 minutes just stunned, I have had my fair share of having people touch my hair or clothes without asking but that was just weird, so now I'm curious, has any other goths experienced this?
