it’s kinda funny, on your daily zombie walks around the block you start noticing people with more and more noticeably shaggy hair. Women with roots starting to show.

Yep, I got into the spirit of things last year by growing a full afro. I was quite happy with how unprofessional it looked until mates starting calling me poodle, at which point it was time to seek alternative hairstyles.

Yeah well, and this should be in the fuckwits thread, after our mega lockdown I was hanging to get a haircut. Managed to get one of the first appointments after my hairdresser re opened. Stoked! Going to feel human again. So before lockdown a couple of her staff were about to or having babies, can’t remember don’t care. Anyway my hairdresser is a petite girl, but she had a noticeable bump. Well I know the rules. You NEVER EVER ASK A LADY IF SHES PREGNANT! EVER!
Well I don’t know what came over me, with all the talk pre Covid of having babies I thought maybe it was her. I’ll admit I didn’t think about it too much. I just blurted out “oh wow are pregnant?” slight pause in the snip snip and the reply is “no. No I’m not” oh god I’m so sorry I blurt out and she glossed over it and I thought I’d made it out of there without offending her to badly or losing an ear lobe. When I got home I told the missus what I said fully admitting I’m a dick and she just shook her head with the saddest of expressions. I believe it was her thinking how did I end up with this idiot.
So a couple of days later and happily doing my thing feeling good with less hair on my head I get a text from my hairdresser. It reads “ Dear Jason, due to your incredibly offensive and inappropriate comments on Tuesday we think you should find yourself another hairdresser.” So I got sacked by my hairdresser.
I’ll never make that mistake again. Although I am a guy so it is entirely possible. So I too embraced the long hair look because I’m afraid word has gotten around and I’ll be barred from every hairdresser in the west. And I don’t do Ginos barbers. Last time I tried that I walked out looking like a Vietnamese rice paddy.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.

If it’s any consolation, that’s really funny.

I immediately fired off a mortified apology fully admitting my unthoughtful inappropriate comments I truly felt bad and still do.
But then I told a few of my female friends and all but one felt she was overreacting. It would have been different if I’d said “gee you have a great ass” Al Pacino style but I just said a really really dumb thing. So did I deserve my sacking? I dunno. But here I sit with long hair.

Send a personalised cake as an apology.

Make sure the lettering reads "Sorry fatty!".

That's nothing... For full inappropriate behaviour, my brother ended up getting his hairdresser pregnant. Only real complication there was that his partner was already 4 months pregnant at the time...

... and first case in Tassie for over a year...


EDIT: read a bit more closely we may yet dodge a bullet, but depends how infectious the guy was on the flight to Tassie.

Dr Mark Veitch said the man developed Covid symptoms today, likely being infectious while in Tasmania.
“This person came through the (Launceston) airport and was following a transit corridor through the airport and to the hotel,” he said.
“We have a good idea of all the movements of this person and the people to whom may have been exposed to him.”
Dr Veitch said they were taking the risk of infection “very seriously” and would announce a range of locations where this person moved.
“We know they left Sydney they took Flight V808 from Sydney and flew to Melbourne,” he said.
“If you were on that flight I’m asking you to immediately isolate.
“The person then travelled on flight VA1634 which left Melbourne at 10:40 on Monday the 2nd. We know the person when they arrived they were escorted at Launceston Hotel from the airport to Peppers hotel.

“They left in a taxi in the back seat wearing a mask and we are currently tracking down the taxi to get in touch with the driver and we will be requiring them to quarantine and get tested.”
Dr Veitch said the man’s movement out of Tasmania was “quite swift”.
“We are putting out an alert to anyone who was at Launceston Airport Wednesday yesterday between 9am to 10am to please isolate and contact the public health hotline,” he said.
“Like we’ve said it’s always possible we are going to have case in Tasmania anybody with any symptoms of cold or flu please get a test.
“People should not travel to Tasmania without an approved pass.. they are breaking a law under the emergency management act.”
