My old boss' wife once asked me what I thought of her new hair cut. It was short, and the color wasn't great. Shaping was ok, but eh.
So, she asked for my opinion on it. I'm an honest guy. "It looks fairly hideous."
I swear, after a dramatic pause, it sounded more demonic than human when she said "WHAT?". My boss just shook his head and kept walking. She got her revenge, by proxy. She had an attractive redhead lady throw a pillow over my face and try to shank me in the kidneys. Worth it.
