tehresa that's TOTALLY CLASSIC. Both those. Also -

I went to this barber shop in my neighborhood once and when I started to describe to the lady what I wanted done and she says with a thick Russian accent: "Do you want a man's cut or a woman's cut?"
I was like "huh?" and she points to a sign that says:
Man's Cut - $8
Woman's Cut - $10

"Um, I guess I'll take the man's cut then." It was the worst haircut I've ever gotten in my life. I found out later that the guy who ran the place for like 40 years or something died and left it to this lady who had no idea what she was doing.

This made me giggle lots. And lots.

Sadly I've nothing similar, those I was told by a former regular hairdresser (who my mum has been going to for about 15 yrs) that my hair was the most difficult she ever had to cut. Apparently she used to talk about it with all her staff, who she then brought out to say hello. Woo, hairdresser celebrity. I have ridiculously soft, fine and straight hair btw so I can imagine what she meant.

While requesting some figures so that I can calculate the average cost basis of an investment I sold shares of in 2004 so that I don't get audited, from a investment helpdesk woman at my bank:

"Oh I'm sure you're accountant would just be happier to just have the value on the date the original shares were purchased, it's really not worth all that work for such a small amount"

A. I AM MY ACCOUNTANT
B. DID YOU JUST MAKE A JOKE ABOUT MY PENIS
C. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER DONE THIS OH JESUS QUIT PRETENDING I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING


But whatever, I came up with something fairly accurate I hope, I don't imagine the IRS gets a lot of jollies out of doing FIFO calculations on over a decade of reinvested dividends either

It was only $2K FFS

Huh?

I guess if my barber said that to me, I'd wish he hadn't too. But only your hairdresser knows for sure.

(OR OTHER TRAINED PROFESSIONAL)

two months pass...
what about the salon professional who does coke right before your appointment? happened to me once. it was the fastest haircut i've ever had. im surprised that it looked good too. felt totally weird about giving her a tip, however.

all true stories:

"so i did soooooooo much cocaine last night"

how about doing coke right before they're supposed to cut your hair?

true story. my stylist came out and wiped her nose, then proceeded to cut my hair in like, 20 minutes. it was a great cut but i felt totally gross giving her a tip. i changed stylists after that!

a fate worse than death for any ilxor! I do this all the time but no-one notices. (post the same thing to the same thread more than once, not do coke).

request for moar from jaxon

i haven't been to that guy in years. but here are moar

last girl that cut my hair is a friend. first haircut from her she's sniffling and coughing and telling me how sick she is, but she's about to go out for her friends birthday and do some ecstasy because that usually makes her cold go away.

second time she cut my hair for less than five minutes, it looked no different and then told me she had to go somewhere. i never went back to her.

current girl is another friend's girlfriend. they've had an on and off relationship for a year or two. real destructive type shit. she always asks me, "so how long have you been married? you guys have been together for 12 years now?! and you still love her?!"
