OK this is a new one....
« on: February 08, 2008, 03:02:33 PM »
I just had this customer that came in.  He was in his late 50's at least.  Never met the man before.  He walks in...talks to me for a few minutes and noticed he kept starin at my head and rubbing his. He had I dont know what all up on there...but he sure had a full head of hair.  I was really floored at what he said and couldnt come up with a good come back...so i just shroved my shoulders and said well to each his own.  What he had said to me sorta was a line from a song....." You dont know whatcha got until its gone....you've paved paradise and put up a parking lot"..........

Well im sorry ...but if he considered what he had on his head as paradise....I dont ever want to go to paradise.  He really didnt have paradise..what he had was more like a rainforest....too many creatures....lol

I think I would have been tempted to invited him to go to your competition!   :*))   Or maybe you could have said, "I'm sorry, I simply can not think of a response for anything that stupid!"  ;D

Tim-

             Don't mean to hijack your thread but I had a similar thing happen to me right after I shaved my head last Summer.

             I walked into the bathroom at work and there was this guy about my age standing in front of the large mirror just combing the Hell out of this full head of wavy hair. i walked past, went to the urinal, did my thing, and then went to the sink area where this guy was STILL combing the Hell out of his hair. I walked up to the sink and washed my hands and as i was drying them I was kind of looking it the mirror (it's a huge wall size mirror and everyone at the three sinks is in the same mirror). This guy, STILL combing his hair, must of caught a glance at me out of the corner of his eye. Looks dead at my bald head in the mirror and says to me, "AWW man I'm sorry".

            I busted out laughing and said," What are you sorry for? I love my bald head and I don't have to spend an hour a day combing it. I use that hour each day to do something better". i walked out laughing as he stood there, comb in hand, mouth hanging open.

           That guy won't even look at me now but I NEVER see him combiing his hair anymore..........
