Yes, well, finding oneself being the target of abduction by just about every malignant tumor of society does tend to dampen the novelty of such a thing.
Or simply being touched by random harmless individuals who think it's pretty and deserves touching. I've experienced this myself, a result of having rather thick and lustrous hair. Some people – usually older folks from other countries, mind – are apparently awed enough by it and free enough of the local concept of personal space that they'll just reach out to touch it. It's... startling. (Especially after having read Of Mice and Men.)
