Today, I dyed a friend's hair dark brown. She assured me I didn't need gloves as the dye would wash off. It didn't. My shift as a server is in an hour and it looks like I've been working in a tire shop my whole life. Goodbye tips, hello angry customers not wanting me anywhere near their food. FML

All of you who gave me things to say to customers, they were hilarious! Also, I'd like to explain a little bit. The reason she didn't have any gloves for me to wear is because the hair dye she bought didn't come in a box. It was two metal tubes of the stuff in a bag, that was it! I knew better but let her talk me into it anyway. It's definitely my fault, I take full responsibility because I've dyed hair before (mine, mainly) and I know what it can do and if she had told me about it any sooner, I would have brought my own gloves. Oh well, just another funny story to tell. As for work, I went up to the restaurant (I don't live more than 2 miles away) showed my manager my hands and explained the situation. He laughed about and was understanding. Luckily, someone was able to cover my shift, I just needed to clean my hands ASAP! Thank you for all of the suggestions on how to get it off! They're returning to their normal shade of porcelain white (which makes it even more obvious) but I'm definitely going to speed up the process! Sorry for the long comment!

But why wouldn't you wear gloves anyhow? Everybody knows those chemicals are pretty strong, and yes, stain whatever they touch

Serve them food, look them straight in the eye and calmly say, "I have the rot!"

YDI for believing your friend. Rule #1 of friendship: never use a friends advice.

1) Your friend is an idiot. 2) You're an idiot for believing PERMANENT HAIR DYE would wash off your hands immediately. **Read the instructions carefully next time.**

I'm curious as to which dictionary you've been reading... According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary " Main Entry: gull·ible Variant(s): also gull·able ˈgə-lə-bəl Function: adjective Date: 1818 : easily duped or cheated" Perhaps you should be sure you're right, before you make yourself look like an idiot. That's what it means to have common sense.

You're gullible for looking it up in the dictionary when it's 100% a real word. That was the joke lol.

#19- I really hope the servers aren't touching people's food regardless of wearing gloves... They're only supposed to touch the plates, not the food itself...
