Seen at the Department of Motor Vehicles
A rather short and rotund black woman in her late thirties to early forties with braids that hung past the backs of her knees standing at a window about five feet from a six foot four white guy in his twenties at the next window, sporting dreadlocks that hung past his waist. His dreads were about the same length as her braids. They stood side by side like some sort of bizarro-world mirror image.

Neither noticed the other.

Why would they?
(speaking as someone with long hair, it's not as interesting as all that.)

Because
in this area it made them both unusual in appearance. I found it amusing to see them standing together like some sort of bizarro-world mirror images.

Ahh.
But they probably don't see THEMSELVES as unusual. They probably looked at the other one and thought, "What a freak!" But made no connection. Or something. :P

Exactly.
And that was part of why it struck me so funny that they took no note of one another.

Sorry, must be having an abnormally slow day today. :P

All good.
I suspect that I was being a little too subtle. Might have to revise it a little.
