Tizeye Posted May 22, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2020 Have you noticed but apparently spammers were laid off? Seems like getting fewer calls than normal. Must have shut down call centers where the auto dialers are. But does seem like that could be configured to work remotely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car’s warranty probably expired with no one to warn me about it. Dang. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted May 22, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 22, 2020 I know of a restaurant that is only serving to go (they did not do so before) where some of the laid-off, UI collecting servers are running food. The boss collects all the tips & divvies them out proportionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish, the bastards are showing their calls coming from the Pittsburgh area now when they call me. All of my wife’s medical stuff if from the Pittsburgh area so I have to answer. If someone could come up with a phone with a destruct button on it that would destruct the caller’s device they would become a billionaire overnight. I can’t even imagine anyone listening to one of these robo calls and saying “That sounds like a deal, sign me up and take my money” 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted May 22, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 22, 2020 I'm sure lots of stylists and barbers are helping their friends out and I wouldn't be surprised if some money was "gifted" as a thank you. Apparently a lot of stylists are advertising on craig's list, but depending on the state, they can run the risk of losing their license. Ben Roethlisberger got his haircut from a "friend" supposedly for no money but that got a lot of attention, including some comments from the Governor. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/pennsylvania-governor-upset-ben-roethlisberger-got-haircut-with-barbershops-still-closed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted May 22, 2020 Share #10 Posted May 22, 2020 I cut my older son's hair after watching a youtube video. My younger son cut my hair after we watched a youtube video together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted May 22, 2020 Share #11 Posted May 22, 2020 I texted my hairchopper Wednesday for a trim. Having been ignored I texted her again yesterday. And yes it would be my second illegal trim. She texted back that she couldn't get to me until Tuesday. Tuesday? I let her know I'm not happy - didn't matter. My hairchopper is Daughter#2 and she is going camping/canoeing for 4 days and won't be back until Tuesday. Being on unemployment is difficult. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nephew is a self taught but unlicensed barber. He’s been cutting his friends hair for about 5 years. When he gave me the last cut he said he’s been busy cutting a lot of hair lately. It kinda gave me pause but he didn’t get me sick. Hopefully he won’t on Sunday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted May 22, 2020 Share #16 Posted May 22, 2020 I’m not big on rules but I’m enjoying this excuse to grow my hair long again. For thirty years my wife was my barber. When she got busy and couldn’t find the time to do it I found someone else. She never cut it again. I wonder how long I’ll let my hair grow this time?

I'm actually thinking the opposite for me I usually go the route of infrequent hair cuts - two a year is normal - and think it might be fun to go shaved head for a while. I think, though, that I should have done it two months ago, as I can imagine I will be going out in public more in the June/July timeframe, and may want my hair back by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I mentioned in another comment that my cousin wouldn't let anyone in her house since March, but this week she let in her hairdresser for an illegal appointment. The hairdresser parked in the alley behind the house so no one in the small town would recognize her. The hairdresser is surely hurting for income and probably has a lot of in-home jobs and has a kit put together to do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on behalf of a mutual friend who was in a tight spot. Now that every Tom and Harry Dick has access to public records about all of us, scammers are equipped with an amazing amount of info. It's easier to fool people when they can name names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
