It's definitely an occupational hazard of cutting your own hair, but you very rarely hear of it happening.
Well, one unlucky guy has been caught out by his hair clippers after they broke mid-way through a head shave and left him looking like a merry monk.
He says he tried everything but couldn't get them to work. In a strange quirk of the modern world, he decided to share his shame and embarrassment on the internet. That's not how I'd go about it, but whatever.
He posted a big reveal - a sort of, awful haircut unboxing if you will - in which he went on a (remarkably foul-mouthed) rant explaining what had happened. He said: "I am not a happy bunny. I am not f**king happy at all.
"You're not going to believe what's happened to me and I don't know what the f**k to do.
"I cut my own hair at home, and I shave it with these f**king razors I've got here.
"You know what's happened? Look."
At which point he reveals the damage. Well, the clippers at least got rid of some of it. However, the bits that he didn't get rid of are - shall we say - noticeable.
He continued: "The bastards have packed up half way f**king around! What am I going to do? I look like - well, I don't know what I f**king look like.
"How the f**king hell can I go outside like this? I'm going to have to fucking put a bag on my head. I can't walk into the hairdressers like this. They're going to think I'm not fucking right."
Yeah, that's probably the conclusion that most people would come to. Perhaps some sort of hat is necessary? Once you're in the hairdressers you would be safe to reveal what you've done. They might laugh, but they won't call the police.
The guy in question is one of 'The Daily Dose Lads', who are a popular Facebook duo from Nottinghamshire.
Either way, we've all been there with bad haircuts, so we can largely all sympathise with the guy. I'd wager that most of us, after getting bad haircut, would simply put on a hat and head to get some new clippers, or to the barbers as mentioned earlier.
Here's hoping that he gets his hair sorted before he has to go back to work. It's a tough one to explain to your boss, especially if you have to deal with members of the public...
