10 Thoughts British Men Have When Getting A Haircut

10. Getting VERY Militant About Your Place In The Queue

As soon as any man walks into a hairdressers, before his bottom even touches the seat, he's already scanned every face in the waiting area. This isn't for a sense of security or to spot someone they may know. It is simply a revision of who in the unspoken law of British queuing is allowed to go before them.

One by one, as others get up to go and get their heads sheered, said man edges ever closer to taking their turn. But the face-scanning doesn't stop, as others enter afterwards.

Men always take a mental note to who is before and after them, and some form of a gentleman can even be seen when one man doesn't realise it's his turn, and another prompts him with a "That's you, I think". (The "I think" is a matter of fact).

It is also where the caveman side may show, as men can get overly protective in their place in the queue when they feel someone is about to jump ahead. They'll frog leap out of their seat as soon as the words "Who's next?" are spoken to guard their place and show that they've been keeping track.
