I think I might be an asshole...

[Parkbandit]

I've been going to the same place to get my hair cut for the past 18 years. Just a barbershop with sports on the TV... nothing fancy. Out of 100 haircuts, probably 90 were done by Frank.. so needless to say.. he knows me by name.

For the past 2 months, a new employee Lisa (no, she's not hot) cut my hair and it turned out great. It just seemed to lay right and seemed to be easy to brush into place. Loved it.

Today, I go in to get my haircut and Frank is sitting in the chair, reading the paper. I walk in.. and he's like "Hey Mike!" and I said.... "Is Lisa here? No? I'll be back later then"

God.. I should have just kicked the old guy in the nuts.. it probably would have been less painful. Now, I feel all emo and chick like that I hurt this old guy's feelings (I don't know if I really did.. I can only imagine he was like "WTF!")

[Sean of the Thread]

I say tough shit to him. It's your hair. (what's left of it.)

[Silique]

In your best Don Corleone voice just shrug and say "Nothin' personal Frankie, its just business..."

[Some Rogue]

You know how I know you're gay....

[CrystalTears]

It's so hard to not be sarcastic when you start off with a winner of a line like this. Welcome to what some of us already knew. You know the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

And ditto to what Some Rogue said.

:D

[Ambrosia]

Damn did you even BS with him for a little bit or seriously just walk out?

[Anebriated]

I guess my question is are you gonna go back now that he knows youre seeing someone else?

I'm sure he doesn't give a shit. At least not as much as you do.

[diethx]

He may have missed the tips, but since everyone knows the elderly don't know how to tip anyway, I doubt he'll be too upset over it.

[Daniel]

Lol x 1000 @ this thread.

It's the same shop.. so it's not like I am going elsewhere.....

I felt so bad, I just walked out. :cry:

[Sean of the Thread]

Gee I hope his feelings aren't hurt.

This sounds like BROKEBACK BARBER

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[weasel82]

I bet next time you walk in, you see Frank and when you ask where Lisa is, he says

Lisa's gone...permanently...

and in a jealous rage he slashes your throat with some rusty scissors (not that they need to be rusty, but just for the extra affect), or cuts your nuts off with those crazy-ass teeth shaped ones.

[Keller]

cuts your nuts off with those crazy-ass teeth shaped ones.

This one has my vote.

[Stanley Burrell]

Get flaming red tips and a pet iguana, geezer.

Oh wait.

[Anebriated]

Gee I hope his feelings aren't hurt.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I heard one of the roles was recently vacated. Perfect time for PB to make his film debut!

[Parkbandit]

Yeah that was a little on the wrong side, you should have at least BSed with him for a bit.... Just be honest though, tell em Lisa does something magical to your hair. haha... well not in those exact words though.

[Warriorbird]

I know this thread represents a personal triumph in Parkbandit's self-realization without even reading it.

[Lucas]

How old is the old man? And does he own the barbershop?

If he's WWII old, he may just say you're a fag for being so picky about your hair like a woman and that when he landed on Normandy a bullet from a Deutsche MG34 749mm Caliber machine gun went through his tin helmet shaving the side of his skull and all he said was "thanks you kraut bastards! Now do the other side to make it even!"

If he owns the store, he doesn't care, I'm sure he's not worried about the tip.

[Skeeter]

I'd say it's a douchebag move. The relationship with a longstanding barber is more of a friendship than business.

You can either go in and apologize or never go there again.

[ViridianAsp]

You're only an actual asshole if the guy calls you one to your face or that's what my boyfriend says.

If it's his shop and lisa is working there, my guess is, he's happy that you are still coming back.

[Nieninque]

LOL@ brokeback barber

If I call him old.. HE'S OLD! I would guess 60ish? It's not his shop, he's just been working there for as long as I've been going there.

I'm going back today (if Lisa's working) and if he's there, I'm just going to come clean. I don't need this hassle and guilt every 5 weeks dammit!

I think this is what you are most looking for is not so much emo more...

Uh, hey Toki, look inside of your basket. Guess why yours in such a crappy mood, you have ladies tampons inside of it. If you buy them for yourself go have a conversation with all the ladies and tell them your problems.

[Jazuela]

Well PB, you could just go back there at a time when the guy isn't busy, and sit down and tell him you didn't mean any insult by suggesting that he hired a top-notch employee who did an awesome job on your hair. And compliment the good business sense he obviously had to display in his decision.

For all you know, he could be in the process of the "Retirement Journey." Sometimes barbers will do that - look for a partner, or apprentice, or even a younger student to train in the business hoping the other person will keep the business open and running after they retire.

I saw the title of the thread. Started by PB. Last post Jazuela. 'Nuff said.

Best quote ever.

[BigWorm]

Even though YOU don't think she's hot, doesn't mean that you can't play it off like you do. Old dudes think any chick younger than them is hot, so just play it like you want to bang her.

So by that logic, that old barber guy would think Andraste is hot?

[Parkbandit]

Well today, I marched in there and demanded Lisa cut my hair. I wasn't about to take any shit from some dumb old guy who's past his hair cutting prime.








Granted.. she was the only one working and the guy was off.. but I would have told him to suck it up if he were

[Stanley Burrell]

Um. A word of advice:

When you have barbers step off the assembly line with repetitious names, all wielding razor blades, you don't go back to Vinny, Frank, Vinny, Vinny and Frank after I broke their coat hanger. Godamnit, that thing couldn't hold a chinchilla fur vest. Whatever.

You might want to look into getting White Pages to baleet your listing, too.

Fine. I will.
