“Finding a hair in your food is much worse if you’re bald”

People don’t like to find a hair in their food—especially if they’re bald. Many chefs are bald.
   
“RT @yourfavwhiteguy: The only thing worse than finding a hair in your food is finding out the chef is bald” was posted on Twitter by indienation on October 25, 2010. “RT @CharIieeSheen: #fastball The only thing worse than finding a hair in your food is finding out the chef is bald. #thataintwinning” was posted on Twitter by #DomoGotHEAT on March 11, 2011. (Both original tweets are no longer available.) “The only thing worse than finding a hair in your food is realizing that the person who prepared it has a bald head” was posted on Twitter by Qwerty Jones on September 19, 2015.
   
“I bet it’s like a double ‘F you’ when a bald guy finds hair in his food” was posted on Twitter by CRV on March 1, 2012. “FACT: bald people freak out 10x more when they find hair in their food” was posted on Twitter by steph on June 13, 2014. “It’s always more unsettling for a bald man to find a hair in his food” was posted on Reddit—Showerthoughts on August 22, 2018. “Finding a hair in your food is much worse if you’re bald” was posted on Reddit—Showerthoughts on November 12, 2021.
   
“One of the great things about cooking your own food is the certainty that any hair in it is yours” is a related saying.

Best part of being a bald chef.  You know EXACTLY where the hair in your food came from.

When I start my restaurant, I’ll employ only bald men as cooks, so no one can ever complain about finding hair in the food.

Fun game you occasionally get to play as a bald man: Where the hell did that hair in the food I just made come from? Mystery Theater!!

Find hair in your food? Convince yourself that its yours and you won’t lose your appetite. So what if you’re bald? Then you’re screwed.

It’s always more unsettling for a bald man to find a hair in his food.

Finding a hair in your food is gross, even more so when you are bald.

Worst thing about being bald is finding a hair in your food because you know it’s certainly not yours
