So after many years of having long hair, I recently decided to go the extreme & go bald.
The downside, I look like mean...trying to hail cabs at night, they slow down, take one look at me then speed off.
Bank-tellers also seem a bit hesitant when serving me & cops give me a 2nd glance when I'm on the street....
Anyway several weeks ago I had to go to a real estate to apply for a place I wanted to rent & I was given the name of the real estate guy I had to speak to.
So I walked into the real estate, did a quick scan of the place, noticed that everybody working there was women except for one guy, who I naturally assumed was the person I needed to see.
The lady at the reception asked how she could help me & I replied, "I'm here to see George."
She made a lazy hand gesture towards the guy which I interpreted as,"there he is, go to him."
I took 2 steps to the guy sitting down behind his desk. As I approached closer I held out my hand to shake his...
No joke...the guy took one look at my face, jumped out of his chair & backed himself against the wall in fear!
So there I am with my hand stretched out & there's George cowering in fear behind his chair with his desk between us...
I went from greeting mode to pacify mode, "Hey hey it's OK... I'm so & so...we spoke on the phone, I'm applying for...."
George made the connection, relaxed a bit then sat back in his chair.
He took another look at me & said, "I was watching you cross the road & I thought to myself, that's one mean looking
