Do Not Want
The girl at the barbershop was giving me a beard trim and assumed I wanted a fucking goatee.
She assumed incorrectly.
So she'd had it knocked down to a respectable length — which she showed me in the mirror and I approved of. Then she tousled my hair, smiled and said "Okay… We’ll get to work on the rest of this now.". I assumed she meant my hair. Then she picked up the clippers and turned me away from the mirror. She started by trimming the stray hairs at the top of my cheeks and then pulled down way further than I’d expected.
“What are you doing?!”, I asked frantically. “Are you taking my whole beard off?!”
“No… I’m just giving you a goatee.”
“I wanted you to trim my beard, not give me a different one.”
“Oh… I’m so sorry.”
/facepalm
This is the first time since late 2005 that I haven't had a full beard — and I don't like it one bit. At least it didn't cost me anything.

she should be convicted of crimes against beardmanity.

There's still stubble there, so I'm doing everything I can short of rubbing Rogaine on my face to grow it back out.
About an hour after the fact and I'm coming to grips with things. Part of a beard is better than no beard at all, I guess.

Ok, so you are this far, take it all off!

Dude, just shave all that shit off. You'll look weird for approximately three days while it grows back. I do it all the time.

I just shaved my beard off on purpose a few weeks ago, it sure was weird. I joked that I would have to wear a nametag around work. The funniest part was that it took me all of 2 weeks to grow it back to the same fullness that a coworker had been working on with a new beard for a month.
This makes me confident in my choice to trim my own beard, others cannot be trusted.

I'm sorry, but if a girl is working there it is NOT a barbershop.
If you'd gone to a true barbershop, there would have been none of that "Oh... I'm sorry" misunderstanding monkeybusiness.
Women may appreciate beards, but they will never fully understand them.
I hope at least that you didn't pay for it.
