I walk into the haircut place and tell them I want a haircut. So they tell me to wait for 20 minutes. Lucky me, because everyone who came after me had to wait from 45-75 minutes. Anywho, after watching this little girl stare at me in fear for awhile, I finally got called up. Yes sir, I was the "chosen one" and I was about to be a couple pounds less.
So they sit me in the chair and here is where I give you the scenario through dialogue.
Lady: How do you want your hair cut?
Me: Shorter.
Lady: Short of the top or just the bottom?
Me: Just shorter.
Lady: What number?
Me: What the devil are you talking about?
Lady: What number of razor?
Me: Uhh, How many razors do you have and why do I care?
Lady: No, that means how short it is. The lower the number, the sho-
Me: Whatever, I don't know. I have no opinion.
Random guy: Pick 3.
Me: Ok, 3.
*Clip clip*
At this point, I notice that my hair is much shorter..in fact, it looks buzzed. My horror had reached new heights.
Lady: Alright, do you want it shorter?
Me: No.
Lady: Okay then.
*Blow dries*
Lady: Now I'll just take a little more off the top.
Me: What? NO! NO! I WILL STAB THOSE SCISSORS RIGHT THROUGH YOUR EYE AND START SNIPPING!
Lady: Okay.
*Snip snip*
Me: No tip for you!
I would also like to mention that when I was sprayed by the bottle of doom, they managed to hit me in the face several times. So for the rest of the time (since I was practically tied down) I had to sit there with water running down my face...actually, it was more like a leisurely walk down my face, while yanking out grass at the same time.

I haven't had a haircut in three years.

That's why don't go to haircut places. My mommy does it for me. :) She knows exactly how I want it and it's FREE!!!

The first thing they ask is always, "What school do you go to?" It drives me nuts. You know they don't care, they know you know they don't care, so why do they insist on meaningless conversation with someone they don't even know? The only people they actually have interesting conversations with are adults. Obviously, kids are idiots...and yet, the adults still can't figure out how to cut their own hair. [Edited on 8/25/2005]

All I say is 'medium taper' and show them how much off the top.
-
I tell them to take an inch off and they don't understand...But my mom suXX0rs at cutting hair so I never let her.

Its great, because the drone of her voice can put me to sleep sometimes.

They guy that does my hair is Vietnamese, he's awesome. He knows exactly how to cut it, and while he does talks to his wife (who is also a barber) in Vietnamese. He's a cool guy, sorry about the lady that messed you up Halifax.

In fact, she's so skilled she can cut her own hair. Honestly, how many people do you know that can cut their own hair(besides just buzzing it off).

Next time when they ask, you should say longer and just see their reaction.

I've been getting my haircut at the same place since I was two. It was the same barber too until he died in 2002. He was cool though he was a WWII veteran. And razors come in numbers. From lowest being the shortest and highest being longest. Duh. I think it goes to 7... not sure. Zero for me all around.

[i]I usually just say 'Cut it kinda short like a boyish style cut...' then they get confused with that and ask me Person: 'Do you want it cut above the ears' Me: 'Yes' Person: 'Do you want it off the neck' Me: 'Yes' Person: 'Do you want it above the eyes' Me: 'Yes' Then they understand and cut it like that and some other odd stuff then gel it (God only knows why) then style it some odd fashion that will never be like that again... -Diz[/i]
