    What's the protocol for a bad haircut? I've always awkwardly said it's fine then walked out with a hat on. I don't go to hairdressers/barbers anymore. My sister is a hairdresser so she just does it in the house. But can you walk out and not pay if they've fucked it up? Could you do the same with a manicure, or make-up artist, or even tattooist? I mean if youre food is shite you can refuse to pay (although I've never done that. and in fact a friend took me out for lunch. there was something wrong with both our dishes and they still went and paid. I said they shouldn't have, but if it was me paying, i wouldn't have had the gaul to refuse payment)

    i think most of us would be in the same boat as you man, ive had hunners of hack jobs and never once told them they done fucked up...

    I always go to the same barber. Local, €12, in an out in half an hour. Minimal shitchat. Last year I decided to go to a trendy barber that opened nearby for a change of scenery. You get a free beer and they have PlayStations. There was someone in the chair when I arrived so I waited a while. I noted the guy was unusually chatty and it was taking a while, but nothing could have prepared me for what was coming. As soon as I sat in the chair he started with an absolute blizzard of bullshit. Like Jay Cartwright levels of bullshit. Here's a few of the tales he spun me. 

    He was the brother of a famous Irish international footballer. He (the hairdresser, not his brother) used to play for Arsenal. He'd played alongside Vieira, Henry, Pires etc. He'd made 1 or 2 appearances in the first team, was loaned out to Aston Villa, but fell out with the manager there and never played a game. Had his career ended after a training ground tackle by an Arsenal teammate who had a grudge against him (I can't remember who but it was someone famous). Moved back to Ireland, starting playing for League of Ireland teams, was the all time highest scoring player in LOI history (he had only recently retired, he was a young guy, maybe about 30). Got 1 Ireland cap while playing in LOI, missed a free kick by inches. Had since become a qualified barber, owned this place (he didn't), had won Irish barber of the year so many times they wouldn't let him enter the competition any more. (I Googled all of this when I got home and it was all bullshit, every word). Claimed to be a very very rich man who owned a string of businesses but was wearing a tracksuit. I'm not saying he was definitely off his face on drugs, but he was slurring his words, his eyes were half closed and at one point he tripped over my foot and ended up sitting on my lap. Gave me comfortably the worst haircut I've ever had and spent so long talking (he couldn't cut hair and talk shit at the same time apparently) that the whole thing took an hour and half.  Took  25 quid off me for the privilege. I went back to my usual place after that. 

    that sounds awesome! haha wheres this? i wanna go just for story time

    There's one on every street corner in Dublin at the moment. Every street is just a row of vape shops with barbers / tattooists on the corners. There's one that has a barber, a tattooist, a coffee shop  and a games arcade in it. I think they may even serve beer. 

    Trendy barbers are my pet hate at the moment.

    Anyone watching American Gods? It's a bit different - Gillian Anderson is in it and she's brilliant. To be fair, all the actors and characters are great. 

    I watched the first 2 episodes last night... its awesome but what the fuck is going on?!?!

    You know what needs to fuck off? Places that are both barber shops and tattoo shops. Trendy cunts. Especially if they're also a coffee bar too. I'm never getting a tattoo in a barbershop, ever, so you go and you die. 

    do they actually exist?? how the fuck did they get around the health and safety folk? 'aye its fine, beard trimmings and topknot grease are GOOD for healing  lighthouse tattoos'

    I used to be late to one of my jobs quite often. buses. I could have got an earlier bus. but I would have been there 45 mins early with no overtime. Sack that. What's worse is they would enact a "15 for every 5" rule. meaning if I was only 5 mins late due to the buses, I'd have to stay 15 mins at night. So, either turn up 45 mins early and not get paid for it, or stay 15 mins late and not get paid for it. It was quite obvious what the choice would be.

    If youre early, you're on time. If you're on time you're late, if you're late, dont bother coming.

    My wife's reasoning for why she's always late: 'at least I know the other person will be there when I arrive'

    boils my piss

     

    thats grounds for a divorce right there!

    My pal has the same logic but goes one further and waits till the arranged meeting time to leave his feckin hoose.. PRICK

  8. people who are incapable of being on time. so many people i know are so habituqally late that ive started telling them our plans are 30 mins earlier than they actually are.. and theyre STILL late! ABSOLUTE CUNTS
