When you find a hair in your food; you....

and Discuss.

EDIT: Assume it isn't a short curly one.

Pull it out and continue eating. I've never heard anyone dying from a hair in their food. (unless it's short and curly, then I just shoot the cook...

)

Thanks. I made it into a poll.

Find a short curly hair and you are probable repaying some bad ju-ju.

Since I'm the one who prepares about 99% of my meals and I have long hair, I always assume that it's probably mine.

So I voted for "retch and complain to the manager"

Hope it came from that hot waitress. I take it out from the food and continue eating while thinking a bit of the imagined owner of the hair...

Remove the hair and show the manager and demand a refund for everything my wife and I ordered plus a new dish for who ever found the hair.
A few threats to spread the word and they're all of a sudden happy to give me my money back plus free food. I'm an ***hole, but it works.

If the hair is loose and sitting on top of the food I remove it and continue eating, if when I tug on the hair and it pulls the food along with it I complain to the manager

+1 I thought I was the only sick twist that did that.

Me, I pull the hair out and and keep eating. It takes a lot to gross me out when it comes to food.

My wife. She's famous for causing a big scene if she finds a hair in her food at a restaurant. There's been numerous occasions where she has gotten everything from free meals, desserts, to gift certificates. But she'll do the same thing if there is anything even remotely wrong with her meal at a restaurant. A good friend of hers always jokes with her about her catch phrase "I'd like to speak to the manager."

... i see what you did there .

Regular hair, no problem I just take it out and keep on eating. A pubey? Then I pretty much wretch and gag.
My wife on the other hand, all it takes is a hair, one single hair and she'll gag, turn green and want to leave the restaurant. There are places where she will never set foot in now because of a single hair.

When I used to work in a hotel we used to get hairs in the dinners quite often from girls not keeping their hairs tied back. It was basically an automatic complaint and the meal would be given free, or the customer compensated.

Pubic hairs turning up in dinners was another problem. The KP's would walk around the kitchen in elasticated work pants and scratch their pubic region while they were handling dinners (they often arranged the cooked components on the plate), which resulted in a lot of pubic hairs turning up in dinners.

Also, pubic hairs often turned up in napkins. The washing machines used for washing the napkins were also used for the bed clothes, so a lot of pubic hairs turned up via that, and napkins were usually folded around them.

If it's my hair, just pull it out and keep eating.

If I'm in a restaurant, I'll complain about it. Frequently results in a free or cheaper meal, which is nice.

which reminds me

"cook, where is my hossenpfeffer!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Oric · #19 12-23-2008, 10:14 AM

I assume it's mine and pull it out. I have shoulder length hair. I even do this with short and curlies, because I also have a pretty full beard, and some hairs like to escape every once in awhile.

A few years ago, my family and I were eating at a Friendly's restaurant. My brother ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. He bit into it and pulled out several strands of hair. We opened up the sandwich, and there was a WAD of hair, like you would find in a shower drain, smashed right in the middle of the melted cheese.
