Title: "Fly is down" ettiquete
Post by: Panjandrum on December 23, 2010, 10:18:57 AM
I'm here at Great Clips, in a packed waiting area, and this dude walks up to the counter, while facing all of us, realizes his fly is down, and he zips in front of us.

In this situation, my gut feeling is that you own it, pay your bill, and readjust in the parking lot.  He went with full frontal zip.  Kind of confused if he made the right call.

Also relevant to point out this occurred in Missouri.  That may change the response.

seems like it's more embarrassing if you zip up in front of people. 

not sure about in missouri, though.  might be acceptable.

depends. do i care more about a bunch of rubes sitting in great clips watching me zip my fly, or the chicks waiting outside to check my fresh/tight Caesar cut?  i'll zip it in front of the great clips rubes.

Kind of hard to miss a dude walking up to the register and making a scene out of it.  He wasn't very discrete about it.  Maybe I should have thrown that part in there.

If you sit in the chair and the stylist asks you what number you want on the sides, just get up and leave. These people do not know how to cut hair, they could sheer a sheep though.

If you don't get a shampoo with your haircut, you're doing it wrong imo.

I always went to Great Clips in college to save money, though.

Look, dude, it's cheap, they're fast, and I can go whenever I want.  Some of us with big timey jobs just can't take off of work and head to the 'stylist' for a cosmo and a pedi.

Sixteen bucks.  Twenty minutes.  I can get on with the rest of my day.

Back to the original topic.  I'm not getting much in the way of proper etiquette here.

Ahh, yes, cheap haircuts are important when you have a big timey job that you can't get away from for more than 20 minutes.

The proper etiquette here is that if you don't go to places like Great Clips you won't be put in a situation where you're faced with a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) that doesn't understand how a zipper works.

Poor people are retards. Poor people get cheap hair cuts. People with big timey jobs know this.

Not only do you think all barbers come from the Army, but you apparently believe "buzz" cuts are a scissors only job. Yeah, you better stick to just telling your stylist "No. 3 on the sides faded into the top."

If your hair cutter person uses clippers at all on your head you should be going to a barber.  Stylists get like one day of clipper training in their school, barbers get like an entire month.  And if you care so little about your appearance that you would trust your hair to a great clips chick well, I just feel sorry for your ugly ass.

16 bucks?? you get a Handjob with it as well?? only 12 bucks in MHK.

Went to a great clips or similar place once when I was in school (at the Manhattan mall).  Dummy completely missed half of what would be considered  "bangs" on a chick.  Half long, half short.  Didn't even see it til I got home and had to do it myself.  Last time I ever went there.

stopped wasting $$ on hair cuts in college & started cutting my own.  I haven't paid for a hair cut in nearly 10 years.   Before then it was twice a month at $15 a pop; which has saved me nearly $3,600. 

but anyway, back to the zipper question.  How big did this guys dick seem, because it actually makes a huge rough ridin' difference.
