Hairs in food aren’t disgusting

r/

I just do not think too much about it. We were having some fast food and wife told me there’s a hair in my fries and was all disgusted. I literally just removed the hair and that was the end of it. I later told her the fact we are eating fries that were in a fryer with who knows how old oil is actually disgusting if you think about it, but hairs are totally benign.

I am not quite sleeping on the couch but my wife thinks I am insane, I did some searching up and it turns out most people share my wife’s opinion and not mine, hence me posting here.

    I think food in hair is more gross than hair in food

    I agree, its psychological. Highly unlikely you will get sick.

    Its unsettling to me, because if it was handled with such lack of care that there is a hair in it, what other handling standards were missed?

    Agreed. As someone that worked in the kitchen of a restaurant people should be way more concerned about the amount of food that is dropped on the floor and then picked up and still served.

    Depends on the type of hair. If it’s short and curly, I got some questions.

    agreed. I just take it out and keep eating. I’m sure there are grosser germs in me already.

    Working in a food production facility, I’m trained to not only find it yuck, but to actively look for it so that the customer doesn’t have to find it.

    Cooks sweat on your food all the time. Sweat is far worse than hair.

    Depends on the situation honestly.

    If i have to slowly pull a long ass hair out of a burger or pasta or something “put together” that’s gross.

    Like you said, a small hair in fries isn’t that big of a deal. Dog hair on an orange i can take off is okay.

    If I have to manually unwrap it from my tongue there’s gonna be a problem.
