I went to one of my favourite restaurants the other night and about halfway through the meal, I noticed there was a small dark hair on top of my food. It was short and black, so I knew it couldn’t be mine (my hair is longish and blonde).
I debated whether to mention it but didn’t, as I really like the restaurant and go there a lot. So instead I just removed the hair from the food and dropped it on the floor. However, rightly or wrongly it did put me off the rest of the meal somewhat.
Why does a hair make me feel so squeamish - after all, it’s only a hair! And would you have said something in that situation or just carried on with the meal as I did?
