"Fly is down" ettiquete
« 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.

Probably more embarrassing if you let people on a message board know that you were staring at some dude's crotch.

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.

Are you trying to tell me some dude in Missouri had a zipper on his Russell sweatpants?

The most disturbing part of this thread is that Panjandrum hasn't been mocked mercilessly for going to Great Clips. Find a rough ridin' barber you pussy.

You never see this kind of crap at fantastic sam's.
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

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 I'm going to dye my hair I'd consider a stylist. When I need a haircut I'm going to the barber. Scissors only, straight razor on the neck and no shitty magazines.

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.
