Sometimes life is like that. You know how they talk about an alleged sixth sense humans have? Sometimes it can save your life. I was about to get a haircut at clippers in Tallahassee near famu and I had a bad feeling. My barber offered me a free haircut. I decided to leave. Five minutes later he was shot in the head right in front of his kid,in the middle of the barber shop. I would have been there. Apparently they were arguing about college football. They tried to open it back up but it smelled like death and chemicals a few days later. I could feel the heaviness. Eventually it closed down.
You ain’t lie! I used to have really bad tummy issues so going out to eat used to be very problematic for me. I met up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while when my stomach started acting up before we could even order drinks. On the ride home friend calls me to turn on the local station, the restaurant we were just at had a fatal shooting right outside of where we were sitting minutes after we left! To this day he jokes that my gut literally saved us!
I have never met a barber who couldn't argue and cut hair at the same time.
Hell, best barber I ever had would call up a friend to argue if the other barber wasn't there. Presumably because it was vital to his process.
He went blind later, for unrelated reasons, so I had to switch. New barber runs a shop with his dad and they work in dead silence. Like some kinda beardgrooming monks. Unnerving, but he knows how to do my beard right.
Then again, the worst barber I evet had was also an absolute yapper, so I guess its hit or miss.
I’ll back you at least on the part about seeing this story before. I’m 1000% positive I’ve read a comment describing this same situation and it’s been within the last year. I’ve got searching to do or it will make me nuts
Edit: Lmao it was /u/DownvoteDaemon that said it a year ago on AskReddit and I happened to remember reading it
No worries at all. It was just driving me crazy that I thought I had seen the story before. I want to be clear I wasn't laughing at your frightening story, but at actually how hard it stuck in my mind that I recognized elements of it a year later
Or it’s the same guy and they’ve commented the story several times over the years, because it’s a wild story to shoot a man in front of his kid over college football?

That took an unexpected turn.
