Yesterday three people told me “your hair is getting long!”

I can think of 3 ways to take this:
1. at face value. My hair is getting long.
2. as an indirect speech act. I need a haircut
3. as a response to the fact that 95% off the time my hair is up in a knot on the back of my head and the change is not something they are “used” to, therefore it is down and “long”.

Yes. there it is. What my brain power was pondering yesterday.
