Have you ever not paid for a haircut?

[ymu]

Bloke at work tried not to yesterday after complaining all the way through the cut that he didn't like what the barber was doing only to be told that if he didn't pay that the police would be called.

Any business is going to tell you that - they're hardly going to encourage people to walk out without paying. It doesn't mean that you're breaking the law or that the police will do anything. It's just a bullying tactic.

We had a dispute with security at a protest where they had taken our banner down and we were refusing to leave the premises until they gave it back to us. They threatened to call the police so we called their bluff and got the plod in ourselves. They dutifully upheld the law and made the security guards give us our banner back.

In reality, the police probably won't come out anyway. They tried to resolve our dispute over the phone, but the security guards weren't having any of it. This may not have helped them when the cops did arrive.

Have I told my hair dying story recently?

I went into a hairdressers to get it dyed electric blue. They said they couldn't do it because my hair was too dark and the amount of bleach needed would burn my scalp.

They said they would put blue highlights in instead. This isn't what I wanted. But I didn't argue. Maybe it would look OK.

When they finished, they had dyed my hair black.

My hair was already black.

I also have a hair dying story.

I dyed my hair black, but turns out I'm heavily allergic to hair dye. My entire face swelled up so much that my eyes were swollen shut, and I had to be rushed to hospital for fear of my throat closing up.

Not quite 'not paid' but I suppose I only paid £5 for a 'trainee' doing it in practically the dark. The colour was a disaster (yellow not blonde) and the stupid woman pretended it wasn't a problem.

My mum once gave me a page boy hair cut, I cried inconsolably but I was five at the time.

A few weeks ago my boyfriend walked out in the middle of haircut - hairdresser was being all huffy about cutting it the way boyfriend wanted it, so in the end boyfriend just said "look, if you don't want to cut it, don't cut it", got up and left.

I have only ever paid for for getting my haircut three times in 50 years. Every time was a disaster so for ages I cut my own and now I get my daughters to do it.

Thrift comes before fashion in my household as well Mrs M, just ask my son, Walter

Not only does he look uber cool but he now also has a new pair of shoelaces we bought with the money we saved on haircuts
