I said to my DP that I really need to cut this annoying bit of hair off that always sticks up and just generally looks awful.
When he asked me which piece I pointed to the obviously sticking up, good for nothing, shitty looking piece of hair and he said 'OHHHHHHHHHHH I thought you meant your sideburns, they always stick out.'
Cue the usual 'I didn't mean it like that' responses 
Cheer me up and tell me it's not just my DP who's fucking hopeless and that it's not because I have huge bloody sideburns.
