That one Saturday where every single haircut went exactly sideways

Last month I had a day where client after client came in wanting something totally different than what they usually get. First guy who always gets a 2 on top suddenly wants a skin fade. Then a kid who usually sits still decides to wiggle every 2 seconds. Then my clipper blade starts pulling halfway through the third cut. By 2pm I had already messed up a lineup and had to buzz a whole head down to even it out. Has anyone else had one of those days where the stars just don't line up for barbering?

That's usually when I realize I forgot to sharpen my shears the night before.

Dull shears are a nightmare. You push down and the branch just bends. Then you have to saw at it like a caveman. Ends up all ragged and torn instead of a clean cut. Makes the whole pruning job take twice as long. Worst part is the blisters you get from gripping so hard.
