Hey, if you gotta get a haircut, you gotta get a haircut, right?

You can’t be out there representing a company and looking like a creep, my friends.

The guy who wrote this story only wanted to look sharp on a long business trip, but after an accountant gave him a hard time, the only reasonable thing to do was stick it to her!

Check out what happened in this story from Reddit.

You cannot spend $50 on a haircut!

“When I worked as an engineer at a Canadian Telecoms company I was deployed for several months in Brazil.

After two months staying at a hotel at the business area of Sao Paulo city, I urgently needed a haircut.

Being the expensive business zone I was located, there was a haircut place next to my hotel and I decided to walk downstairs and get the haircut there.

It wasn’t cheap!

They charged US $50 for a male haircut!

I had to pay and left.

When the accountant lady reviewed my expenses report she said you cannot submit such expensive haircut .

Cue Malicious Compliance.

Two months later I had to cut my hair again.

I took a $25 taxi to a barbershop in a mall some kilometers away, cut my hair for $25, enjoyed the walk and had dinner, and went back on another taxi for $25.

Plus the 2 taxis I took earlier that day to go to the customer office.

Well…

When the accountant lady asked why I took 4 taxis on the same day, my response was: You told me I cannot spend $50 on a haircut, so I had to look for a barbershop on a cheaper area of the city .

She didn’t bother me again.”
