I am waiting to speak at this conference, sitting next to a man wearing a toupee that is a crime against humanity. [NSFW UPDATE PIC]

The power of mechanical engineering!

Questions:

1. Stare or not stare? The engineering of the thing is remarkable, and I really want to see how it was built and how it attaches?

2. How do I discreetly snap a pic for Oppo?

3. Am I allowed to ask how much it cost? Example: “Great hair, man, how much do you have into the restoration?” This approach works at car meets to ask the price of cars.

Your feedback is appreciated.

You have three options:

Shame him for the toupee

Wait for him to get hair transplants, then shame him for getting hair transplants

Shame him for not wearing a toupee, not getting hair transplants, and for being bald.

The important thing is that his body is shameful.

In this case I think denial of this toupee is fully recommended.

Otherwise I say: sweet toupee dude, did you get that at costco?

Ask if it’s OEM or NOS?

Casually bring up how you need to leave early to go to the barber, but say you hate your current barber and ask if he has any recommendations

Look at him blankly, wait til he looks back. Say loudly, “Wow, that’s ugly.” then snap a photo and post it to oppo.

Pretend you dropped something and see if you can use the inside camera to grab a pic.

I dunno, I would probably just stare.

That said, I knew very early on I would not go that route.  My hairline started a strategic retreat in my mid-20's.  I always kept it short and never tried to hide what was going on.  Finally 5 years ago I just let go and now buzz it weekly with a #1.  So much less work, way cheaper (do it at home), and I get to make “glare off my forehead” jokes at my own expense.

Stare. Like he has an animal perched on his dome and you’re not sure if it’s friend or foe.

It’s cool to be bald now. Just be bald, guy.

Hey you never know. People always made fun of this guy’s toupee, but he said that it was real - and that he would never wear a toupee as bad as his real hair looked.

Start swatting at it and tell him that there is a rodent on his head.

Why would  you buy a rug with a bald spot?

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > ImmoralMinority 10/24/2018 at 11:37

Why would you wear a toupee that has a bold spot?

Why would you get a toupee that still gives you a big bald spot?

It’s like someone sprinkled straw onto his head.

Depends on his attitude towards you. If he leaves you alone or is otherwise friendly , then just ignore it. His fashion choices are his, although they may not align with your standards.

If he’s a dick, all bets are off.

You should be very frightened of this man. You have no idea what a man that’d wear that could be capable of .

Are you sure it's a toupee, and not either a spray-on or powdered hair thickening product that he bought in the wrong color?

There’s nothing shameful about being bald. The toupee, on the other hand...
