        This happened to me at a haircut place. They asked for a number and i didnt know what it meant so i said a random number (I think I said 1) and my haircut was way too short but i pretended to like it lmaoooo. This was in like 2014.

        Normally people would say nice haircut out of politeness at least but this was the one haircut in my life where someone asked me what happened to my hair.

          I mean a 1 is very small.

          Not uncommon for men to come in and just say the clipper number. Honestly though I have no idea how I learned 2 was the length on the side I wanted. Probably it was this exact scenario I just guessed right.

          I’ve personally worked at multiple deli counters. By all accounts I was incredibly bad at it. The first time, on my first day I sliced the tip of my right thumb off down to the nub and shot arterial blood all through the display and got fired immediately. So I flatter myself that I am something of an authority on bad deli counter skills. And I tell you, this shit never happened.

        This absolutely has happened. Literally happened with a friend of mine when hiking. They didn’t understand the scale and we ended up with 1/2 inch thick cuts of turkey for our sandwiches.
