Things you hate IV

Popping into the cheapo high street barbers for a quick back and sides cut and spending 20 minutes waiting for the one bloke in the shop to have his hair held up in clips while the only barber mucks around with some sort of baby brush and clippers while doing tedious neverending fades.

It's a 10 quid a pop place. No idea why the barber didn't tell him to jog on.

 

They probably charge more for fades. My barbers does. I don't actually know what one is, I mean, I have my hair faded out, ie. I don't have a step, but they don't charge me fade prices.

Anyway, you get what you pay for I guess. When I was earning decent money, I'd always spring for a proper hairdresser cut. I can't see how a barber earns a living on £10 per cut, unless it's back to back customers all day. My brother always says the barbers is queuing up to get your hair cut by someone you don't want to cut it. No matter what I ask for, they always seem to do what they want anyway.

I do like the bit where they burn off my ear hairs with the giant cotton bud covered in flaming petrol.

 

Very similar when visiting the £10 car wash place, when the bloke in front thinks he's getting a full valet for that price and starts pointing out more that they need to do. Then they try to rush yours through because there's now a queue behind you.

 

That probably explains why the Irish are always so immaculately coiffured

 

I think haircuts, like kebabs, have seen beyond inflation price rises over the past decade, because they were too cheap before. I got a kebab for me and a small one each for the kids on Saturday, with 2 portions of chips and it was 30 quid.

It used to be about half that, which made it cheaper than other takeaways, apart from maybe a Maccy Ds (which i won't ever buy out of general principle).

Haircuts here have risen from under a tenner to the point where i rarely expect change fron 20 quid.

 

30 quid? Good God. What did you have in it - caviar?

 

It was wagyu Donner

 

Yeah it's £13 for the fancy cut. Sadly for the barber who spent half an hour doing the haircut, the chap then feigned not realising he couldn't pay by card and he had to let him go on a promise to send the money by PayPal. Not even an offer of a tip from the cheeky fecker after his elaborate hair cut.

And that's why he should have told him to jog on as soon as he said what he wanted.

 

I took to cutting my own hair while the barbers
were shut, if you take your time you can do a half decent job.

Truth be told I’m scared to go back to the barbers, it doesn’t really matter which one you go to they never bloody listen and just do exactly what they want.

I may not be able to cut it as well, but the trade off is I get to have it how I want it and not how they decide they want it.

 

Brexit m8.

 

£13 a cut for me in Tring. Used to give £2 tip but given the nightmare time they have had over the last 15 months, I just give them a full £20 atm.

 

That's criminal prices for a kebab. You can get them cheaper in Norway ffs. I can honestly say I've only eaten McDonald's maybe three times in my lifetime I can't even class that garbage they give you as food. Each time I've felt rotten afterwards. Saying that I've never eaten a kebab sober and that reaches well into the hundreds.

 

I'm bald, have been doing my hair with clippers for more than 20 years, saving thousands of pounds you mugs have had to spend.

The ladies love the bald head and the high life we're living on all that spare cash.

 

Definitely saw one of those women on my Ring doorbell sneaking about before my tupperware avelanche

 

TFL ULEZ congestion charge.

I have a historic vehicle, drove into the LEZ, read rules that historic vehicle is exempt... Website still charging me. Whole system is impossible to comprehend for someone who does not drive in London ever but popped in once. Utter garbage reply to my enquiry to explain if I did or didn't need to pay.

 

Loved the win last night. Effing hate queasy headline puns like this, if this even qualifies as a pun.

 

I worked for TfL for years and know people who worked on this. Your experience comes as no surprise.

 

2-0 hardly constitutes a thumping, anyway.

 

If only we still had a Politics section. This would have kept us entertained for days

 

Couldn't wait for Rooney to retire, so avoid all those dreary headlines where they substituted Roo for another word. "That'll Roo nicely", "Roo beauty!", "She's too old for Roo" etc etc, ad nauseum

 

Sounds like you Roo the day he was called up to the national side.

 

Not something I hate, more a big disappointment.

Jools Holland man, really? Haven't you got enough money? You had to get some more by agreeing to ridiculously appear as a "teeny tiny hard nosed quickbooks person" in adverts.

As Bill Hicks observed. Performing fellatio on the devil's scaly member and off the artistic roll call for evermore.

 

Liked because there wasn't a groan button. Mind you, a better use of the pun than any newspaper came up with, so fair play

 

The bad football puns were surely all worth it for this:

 

No.

 

Would have worked if his name was Thenil Walcott

 

TBFTH what 'they' are doing is not just illegal but bloody dangerous (as well as being annoying to other road users). It makes my pet peeves of other drivers being unable to queue (A1 M25 turn off) and lane discipline: motorways (the M1 especially); A1/M25 entire scheme and Stirling Corner...

 

I'm especially disappointed in Richard Ayoade and Isy Suty, both ostensibly comedic personalities, sold out to big banks.

 

LOL! Please post a pic! Hahaha

 

Usually I'd agree with you 100%, but I believe the guy making these videos lost one of his parents due to a road incident with a car so he's got due cause in my book.

 

I have discovered a new hate of the day

I made some burgers earlier and used kitchen roll to remove any fat after cooking, only to find the paper disintegrating and sticking to the burger

When did modern kitchen roll get so ****?
