Obviously, at a restaurant, we send that shit back.

Let's say you get it to go, you get home and take a bite out of what should be delicious sandwich only to find a long hair dangling out of your mouth and in the sandwich.

My wife, mom, and sister all agree that after discovering said hair, the entire meal must be discarded because that shit is fucking nasty.

My dad and I will remove the hair, and continue eating. Unless I look at it and it bears even the slightest resemblance to a pube. Then it's in the trash can.

What say you, dear wolfwebbers?

it's just proteins

chew it up sons

I always laugh when people kiss eachother on the heads and touch eachother's hair...etc. But when one hair becomes dislodged from the scalp, it becomes the most vile and disgusting thing on the face of the earth.

8/24/2010 9:43:23 AM

Agree with Bobby. If you've already got the food home, it's impractical to go all the way back to where you got it and demand another, and unless it's pubic in nature, it's just a hair. It doesn't somehow contaminate the entire dish with cooties or something.

8/24/2010 9:43:31 AM

the worst is finding a long hair that has been baked into a food item

i can recall two occasions, one in a biscuit and one in a muffin, where i took a bite and pulled a long hair like a magician performing the handkerchief trick

This. Anything else makes you a bitch.

last night we went to wich which or wichy which or whatever that new sandwich joint by Rex hospital is and took it home. My wife ate the first half of her sandwich, and then found a long hair hanging out of the second half.

Before I could even finish saying hey i'll eat that, she had hurled it into the trash can.

I was sad for the starving chinese people i would have saved by eating it myself.

8/24/2010 9:48:42 AM

I'll eat a hair without thinking twice

Fingernails and bandaids are where I draw the line

Here's another question:
Would you rather:
a) find a 10" hair dangling out of your mouth, and pull it out
-or-
b) unknowingly eat 20 half-inch (non-pube) hairs, and find out after you ate them

I just remove it without even looking and continue eating. shit ain't going to kill you. people need to cowboy up.

8/24/2010 9:58:03 AM

Even at a restaurant, I will remove the hair and continue eating. I ain't waiting around for my food just because somebody has some loose follicles.

I will say something later in hopes of a discount or something though. As a chef, the kitchen is supposed to be aware of shit like this, and take steps to prevent it. So the restaurant does need to bear some responsibility.

8/24/2010 11:04:33 AM

4 out of 5 times, I don't send food back because I found a hair. Depends on the type of meal and the type of hair.

8/24/2010 11:14:37 AM

If it's cooked in there, it should be somewhat sterile, right?

8/24/2010 11:17:00 AM

8/24/2010 11:19:43 AM

i finish eating the food, but i'm not happy about doing it. the meal definitely isn't finished with the same gusto.

however, if it is a nice restaurant i will send it back. because when i'm eating wendy's i'm expecting shit like that. at a nicer restaurant i am paying a premium to not experience crap like that.

8/24/2010 11:20:48 AM

I agree that I also remove the hair and keep eating. I have never seen a hair that would make me think I was somehow endangered by continuing the consumption of the food.

Sorry to hear she threw out the sandwich. Weird.

8/24/2010 12:09:17 PM

I only eat at restaurants where the cooks wear these

8/24/2010 12:12:19 PM

^
But how does that protect against eyelashes, eyebrows, and nose-hairs?!?!

8/24/2010 12:16:11 PM

I only eat at restaurants where the entire staff is required to be completely hairless.

8/24/2010 12:21:02 PM

Yeah, chefs with alopecia ftw

8/24/2010 12:21:41 PM

I really thought more people would discard the item.

I would discard the item with the hair and move on with the rest of the meal. Even if the hair is found in the first bite of a sandwich; it's gotta go IMO. I would not discard the whole meal though; only the item with the hair.

I usually tear off the chunk that had said hair on it (if that makes sense)

Now, if it was a like a long hair that was all wrapped up in it or a hair that looked alarmingly similar to a pube, I would pitch a fit

8/24/2010 12:30:06 PM

some people shed a LOT OF NOSE HAIRS....


ps- this thread started me on a 30 minute long web of seinfeld youtube videos. Thanks

that's what i was thinking too. and it's amazing how many people won't wash their hands before they eat after they've been touching their steering wheel and/or cell phone, but they'll flip out over a hair.

8/24/2010 12:55:09 PM

what yall got against pubes

8/24/2010 1:00:26 PM

I'll have you all know that my pubes are delicious, yo

8/24/2010 1:15:14 PM

it's good roughage

8/24/2010 1:20:40 PM

This shit rarely happens to me. Twice at Time Out though, and they were wearing hairnets. So not sure about eating there again.

Filth from one's own body always seems far less disgusting than that from someone else.

8/24/2010 1:54:56 PM

a stray hair is the least of your concerns.

there's so much nastiness that goes on in a kitchen you dont even know. you really think kitchen workers wash their hands after using the bathroom? they're scratching their junk all day long.

you've been eating peoples boogers, shitsmears, and nutsweat for 20 or 30 years and you ain't dead yet. That single solitary hair you pulled out of your mouth sure isn't going to kill you.

8/24/2010 2:44:43 PM

restaurant or someone else's house, etc...don't eat

but if it is at my house, chances of the hair being mine or a family members is very probable so

chances are you don't see that hair until it's already in your mouth. then you pull the hair out, and make a face. maybe act all insulted, whatever.

now here's the deal: if that hairs got germs or whatever, then you've already been "infected" ... so why you gonna throw away otherwise perfectly good food?

throwing away that food isn't going to remove the fact that the hair has already been in your mouth.

Goddamn. for once I agree with joe_schmoe. Goddamn pussies. All of you.

8/24/2010 3:36:26 PM

I save it till after I'm done eating to floss with.

8/24/2010 7:56:08 PM

it's just a fucking hair

8/24/2010 8:01:01 PM

Not entirely relevant, but somewhere along the same lines of hygiene. The other morning this guy called into the radio station to get advice on washing your hands after the restroom. Obviously the response was unanimous and while I'm by no means a freak about it, I'll turn off fixtures and open doors with paper towels or shirts just like the next guy.

There has to be the exception though -- and maybe this will set me up the bomb, but sometimes I find myself in an establishment (read: the occasional sketchbar) where either the staff or the owner is too lazy/cheap to even put out soap, much less fill towels or fix a dryer. If the deed has been done, you bet your ass I'm choosing my freshly washed manparts over whatever the fuck is living on anything I'd have to remotely come in contact with in order to sprinkle some water over my penishands.

pocket sanitizer 4 lyfe I guess.

filth from one's own body isn't just the only thing on your steering wheel and cell phone. those things pick up shit from all over the place on a daily basis. they're probably the dirtiest things you interact with, and think of how often you use them.

8/24/2010 8:55:44 PM

who has pubes anymore anyways?
