What do you do when you discover a hair in your food?

[Tater Tot]

How do you react to finding a hair in your food? Do you take the hair out and keep on eating, or do you stop eating?

I take the hair out, and keep on eating.

My mother freaks out, and has a nervous breakdown whenever she finds one. She throws away the food and complains for half an hour, though her hair is long and thick and could have very possibly been her's.

So what are your actions when you find one? How do you react? Converse. :3

 

[Ascaris]

I just remove the hair.

What's there to freak out about? It's just a hair.

 

[Starberry]

Usually it's my hair. XD

So I just take it out and start eating again.

 

[Legobricks]

Usually I don't notice until it's already in my mouth, but in any case I pull it out and carry on. Like anyone with long hair, I usually find it's my own.
Once I swallowed some cheese, felt there was a hair and grabbed it as the cheese went down my throat. As you can guess that felt weird.

 

[Cheesymitten]

Yeah i just take the hair out no harm.
But if it would be anything else then i would flick it at my dog :D

 

[kyoisorange]

Take it out, and carry on, but I usually do find it a bit revolting, not enough to stop eating though.

 

[ShinjisLover]

It depends. If it's mine or one of my dogs' fur, I'll just keep eating. If it's random hair, I usually feel like I'm gunna puke and then throw my food out. I think I'm. . A germophobe. XD

 

[Jorah]

I usually just take out the hair, even though I find it really disgusting. It's horrible eating at my nan's though because all the plates, knives and forkes and everything have dust over, so we usually end up brushing stuff off of it....it's just so horrible. I hate eating there.

 

[Signomi]

It's just a little hair, not uncommon for anything like that to happen and easily removable. I wouldn't waste food just because of something as insignificant as a little hair, unlike some people I know. So I'd just take it out and carry on eating what's on my plate.

 

[IDIE]

If im at a resturant, I stop eating. But when I make the food, i'll take it out and start eating.

 

[Aurafire]

If it's a small piece, it's not a big deal. I'll just pick it out and continue eating. It can't really harm the food in any way =/

 

[BHwolfgang]

I would not want to waste the food that someone or myself has worked so hard for...

A hair is a hair, and your food is delicious.

 

[Aizuke]

If it was my own hair, I wouldn't mind, but if it wasn't mine and I was eating out in public, I would probably stop eating my food. :x Then I could go complain. :D Since it's a health regulation and all. (Yay for working in the food area)
plus, they'd give you a new plate for free. :o

 

[Ninja Tree]

If it was Aizuke's hair I wouldn't mind. I'd take it out if it was anyone else's.

 

[True Reign]

A hair won't kill you. I just take it out and continue on eating - It's not a big deal. >__>

 

[Ayano Katagiri]

If it was my own, then I wouldn't mind - I'd just take it out and keep eating. If it's a random piece of hair of someone else's, I'd take it back to whoever made it and complain. xD After all, there are some standards that need to be kept.

 

[Yamikarasu]

I've never understood why people think hair is disgusting. It's just like finding a piece of string in your food, and sure it feels weird in your mouth but it isn't like it makes the food taste bad or something.

So I take it out, and keep on eating.

 

[Melody]

Generally I find my own hair in my food so I just pull it out and continue eating.

Now if I'm at a restaurant and they set the plate down in front of me and I spot a hair in the food before I've even touched it then I'll have them take it back if the hair doesn't appear to be mine, but most of the time I just pluck it out and continue eating, then make a mental note to avoid the restaurant in the future.

 

[Eon-Rider]

If it's at a restaurant, I'd make a complaint about it. If it's food prepared by myself I just take it out and keep eating it.

I used to describe to Disney Adventure magazine when I was kid. I believe in one issue there was a school survival guide or something like that. One tip went along the lines of:

"Found a hair in your lunch from home? Relax, it's just your mom. Found it in your cafeteria food? FREAK OUT!"
