Off Topic » Permanent COVID Lifestyle Changes

Ya know, things change with life's events. In my case, my wife feels better if I don't go to the barber and I lie about the money I'm saving. She's more secure about risks and I don't have to say how much money is left in my wallet. It's a win-win.

This morning, after my Zoom meeting, I was headed to the door and then the farm some lawnmower repair work. Just as I got to the door, my wife pops out of her office (that half of the house) and tells me she has 40 free minutes to cut my hair. A complete change of my plans, but "Yes, Dear" slips from my mouth and in a few minutes I'm on the stool in my shop.

The wife starts the clippers and I remind her to lube the cutting teeth. A little shuffle of stuff occurs behind me and the clippers are turned on

A few seconds later, I hear.."F*** it, F*** it, F*** it, God Damn it, F*** it, F*** it, F***"

I say, "Dear, is there a problem?"

She responds, "You made me lube the clipper teeth"

I respond, "So?"

She responds, "That made me forget to reset the cut height"

I ask, "How short is it"

She says, "Like zero"


I find I don't look (too) bad in short hair..........

😁This thread is no good without pictures 😉

Be glad she was working on the big head and not the little one.

It'll be more comfortable under the helmet.

Sorry, I'm strictly ATGATT......

My wife has been trimming my hair for years, but will only give me a gauge 1 (just short of skinhead) when I'm heading off to Europe for at least 10 days.

So she doesn't have to look at the job.

I'm under pain of death if I tackle the job myself.

With no European trip since 2019 I haven't had a short cut for a while, but 10 days ago I twisted her arm and she relented - even though I was was only heading south for 4 nights.

I reckon heads are like lawns - they need a good close crop occasionally.

And it makes easier to squeeze under a helmet

My wife has cut my hair for years now and she does a pretty good job of it. I like my hair short, but not stubble-short. Since I'm losing a lot of it anyhow...well, HAVE lost a lot of it, short works.
When I suggested she leave one side long, so I could do a comb-over, tiny daggers formed in her eyes.

If you were a woman, would you want to be married to the guy with the comb over?

I'm thinking you should consider yourself ..... lucky to be alive. Or, at least, able to Pee standing up.

She is a delightful, intelligent woman with a Ph.D. in chemistry, a talent for cutting hair, and an exquisite sense of humor.

lol.

My wife's (serious) loss is massages. She loves them and used to get one about once a month. That is a lot more problematic nowadays.
