My barber made fun of a customer's gayvoice!

Clearly, your barber is a raging homophobe.

Also, if a person has a problem with a female coworker, they hate ALL women.

If you're annoyed by a perpetually screaming child, you hate kids.

If you're not madly in love with everything to do with the US, including its foreign policy and how it's devolving into a surveillance state, you hate America and want the terrorists to win.

Moral: The world just isn't that black and white, dear. Even if believing so saves you from all that tedious, hurty "thinking".

Learn to use your lower register and talk like a man, OP. Singing along with Karen Carpenter helps.

I would find a new one. Something similar happened to me years ago and I didn't say anything and to this day (20 yrs later) I still think of it every time I have to deal with this person. My situation wasn't, as simple as changing barbers, if it was I would have never returned even if I had to live with a daily hair crisis.

I agree find a new one. Rumor has it a lot of gay men cut hair so look for one of those.

[quote] a daily hair crisis

Let me guess YOU were that customer.

At least he didn't comment on how old you were or the fact that you're still coming to him for a haircut when you have three hairs left on your head.

Quit going there.

If this isn't a troll thread,

OP, you will change barbers. It is not necessary to tell the man why.

But you cannot return to him. You do understand that, right?

OP, A simple, "You do know I'm gay" remark might have been a good thing to say.

I would not return, too bad he won't know why he lost a customer though.

Get a new barber if you have any self respect as a gay man left.

Really, if he's a straight hair-cutter then he can't be that good anyway.

Don't go back to tell him why you're not going to him any more.

Make him feel the loss, and wonder why.

Only if you randomly pass him on the street and he asks why, should you ever tell him.

I had the same thing happen when I went to Willie's Mexicana Grill.

There were two gay guys at the front of the line. After they got their order, a cook behind the counter kept doing the limp-wrist air-kisses thing for the amusement of the other employees.

I complained to the manager, which went nowhere. So I complained to corporate for the franchise.

The company responded by calling me a liar.

I will never step foot in any of their stores again.

I went out to dinner with my out of town brother and two of his (also) out of town female business associates one night.

I was trying to make conversation. I asked if they had all come into town for work or if any of them lived in Los Angeles.

One of the women said they were all from the Mid-West except for 'Bill'...he's from (and then her voice got extremely lispy and effeminate) 'SannnFRANNN CISCOOO!'

I really wanted to say: "Oh, I haven't been to SannnFRANN CISCOOO! since the last Pride Parade!"

I didn't, of course. Maybe I would have if it were more of a social thing, but these were business colleagues of my brother's.

Point it is, OP, we never say what we really want to. It's not like TV where moments are scripted.

He probably makes fun of your gayvoice, too

You lost me at barber.

Wow, you sure were brave.

You come off so well in that story--I see why you are eager to repeat it to strangers.

Get thee to a queer STYLIST! Pay the extra $$ where you'll be with your own.

Please, who HASN'T made fun of some guy's gayvoice at some time or other.

If your barber was a gay man, he would have been just as insulting to the guy with gay voice once he left the barber shop. More, even.

When I want to hear people cruelly insult feminine men, I come here to Datalounge.

A gay guy going to a barber....these guys are like plumbers...go to a gay stylist or even a salon chain. I used to go to a posh salon and after a while I couldn't deal with the 'tude plus my stylist went into rehab so I tried a salon chain and its great. No 'tude, costs half as much and no wait ( I would always have to wait at posh salon even though I always had an appointment).

They did the same thing to you after you left.

Find a new barber, Mary. This isn't fucking rocket science.

Why bump this 5 year-old thread, R22?

I would have looked him in the eyes and offered to suck his cock.

Reminded me of a situation I found myself in a few years back. Found a hairdresser that did an amazing job every time and so switched to her. On visit number 3, the owner of the salon started belittling and making fun of one of her intern workers. I mentioned to my hairdresser that I didn’t think it was appropriate that she should threat her staff that way. She told me that the owner often does this. That’s when I decided that she doesn’t deserve my money and I never went back. They’ve since gone out of business so karma got her.
