Never piss off your hairdresser

I saw something recently that reminded me of the movie "Sixteen Candles". You know, that Molly Ringwald teen flick from the mid 1980's. There is a scene in the movie where the quintessential "popular" girl is completely trashed. The girl is so far gone that she really isn't aware of what is going on around her. Her hair gets stuck in a door and someone takes a scissor and simply hacks her hair (instead of trying to get the door unlocked). Surprisingly, over the past few months I've seen an increasing number of women with that hairstyle. For the life of me I cannot figure out why someone would ask a hairdresser to deliberately fuck up their hair. But apparently some people think it's a good idea. I mean...why would you want to walk around looking like you got into a fight with a lawnmower...and lost?

I think if I asked my hairdresser to do that she would check my temperature to make sure I was alright. It's possible she would simply ask me if I'm on drugs. She just might even try to Baker Act me. However I always try to be especially nice to my hairdresser (& my mechanic). There are certain people in your life who you simply should not piss off; you hairdresser and mechanic being among them. They're entirely too important!
