Vain tradie unleashes foul-mouthed rant at barber over a small detail in his new haircut
A tradesman has stirred up a hornets nest on the internet after he was filmed directing a furious, expletive-filled rant at his barber.
The customer claimed the barber in Dubbo, in central-western NSW, had given him a lopsided haircut and was caught on camera by bystander as he berated the shop worker over his clipper skills on Sunday.
'How the f*** is it two different f***ing angles, mate?' the tradie yelled in the clip.
'Look at that - is that straight, d***head?
'Is it straight, mate? Is that f***ing straight, mate, or is one back here and one over f***ing here?
'F***ing use your head, c***,' the tradie fumed.
The shocked barber offered the burley man - who looked as though he'd just left the job site dressed in hi-vis and work boots - the option to leave without charge.
However, he refused and insisted that he should 'hurry up' and ring up the charge so he could pay despite the verbal tirade.
Commenters were divided on whether the tradie was a 'good bloke' as, even though he yelled at the barber, he refused a free service
'Hurry up, I'm paying for the f**king thing. You did your job,' he said.
The video has been viewed more than 330,000 times, but commenters were divided on whether the tradie was in the right for expressing his opinion or overreacting.
'Good bloke, he's unhappy but still paid. What's the issue?' one wrote.
'Old mate didn't need to make a scene and have a blow-up inside the shop,' another said.
'He didn't like how it was cut but still paid. He's a good guy,' another wrote.
'Good bloke? Abuse people and he's a good bloke… right,' another said.
'Workers shouldn't have to put up with that in their own store,' another agreed.

Patrick Dodson condemns decades of inaction on suicide hanging points in Australian prisons
The former Labor senator and Aboriginal deaths in custody royal commissioner Patrick Dodson has condemned inaction on known hanging points as 'totally unacceptable' and joined calls for national leadership on justice reform. Guardian Australia revealed last week that 57 Australians had died using hanging points that prison authorities knew about but failed to remove, often despite their use in repeated suicides and explicit warnings from coroners. Dodson, a Yawuru elder often referred to as the 'father of reconciliation', was one of the royal commissioners who worked on the 1991 Aboriginal deaths in custody royal commission. That royal commission told state governments to remove obvious hanging points from their prisons, a recommendation that was universally accepted. Despite this, Guardian Australia has revealed how obvious hanging points have been allowed to remain in prisons like Brisbane's Arthur Gorrie, where 10 hanging deaths occurred using the same type of exposed bars between 2001 and 2020, despite repeated, early coronial warnings that they be removed. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email Even at the relatively new Darwin Correctional Centre, which opened in 2014, more than 20 years after the royal commission, cells were designed with an obvious and well-known hanging point, which was used in two hanging deaths in its first two full years of operation. The hanging point was not fully removed from cells until 2020. 'It's totally unacceptable and this is where people need to be empowered and take action against those agencies based on their duty of care,' Dodson told Guardian Australia. 'They have a duty of care. They've been told 30 years ago to get rid of these things.' Indigenous Australians remain vastly overrepresented in prison populations and hundreds have died in custody – 101 of those by hanging – since the 1991 royal commission. Official data shows the rate of Aboriginal hanging deaths is at a 17-year high, correlating with Australia's surging prisoner population. Guardian Australia revealed last week that in 2020, after the hanging death of young Indigenous man Tane Chatfield, the New South Wales government told a coroner it had audited Tamworth prison for hanging points but could find none. An independent inspection of Tamworth prison less than 12 months later found 'multiple hanging points' including some that had been purportedly removed. Guardian Australia asked every state government what has been done to address the problem. You can read their responses in full here. Dodson said the federal government, through the standing council of attorneys general, should take a national leadership approach on reforms that reduce Indigenous incarceration rates and reduce deaths in custody, including by removing hanging points. His voice adds to that of a group of crossbenchers, including David Pocock, David Shoebridge, Lidia Thorpe and Zali Steggall, calling for federal leadership on the issue of hanging points after the Guardian's investigation. Dodson said the federal government should establish a national Aboriginal justice commission to progress nationally coordinated reforms and ensure state governments are responding the recommendations of the 1991 royal commission, many of which remain unmet. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion He said the attorney general, Michelle Rowland, should ensure the issue is listed on the next agenda of the standing council of attorneys-general. 'The other thing that the attorney general should be doing is convening a group of the Aboriginal leadership in this space to discuss, have a discussion with them about the need for [an Aboriginal justice commission] and its importance,' he said. 'I think we need a structure, otherwise, where does it end, you know?' The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice commissioner, Katie Kiss, said that the removal of hanging points from prison cells to reduce self-harm was a 'key recommendation' from the 1991 royal commission 'The failure to implement this – and all other – recommendations exacerbates the ongoing national shame that is Aboriginal deaths in custody,' she said. 'The treatment of our people, particularly when it comes to the administration of the justice system, is a deep stain on this country. They are being failed by an oppressive system that continues to deny their rights.' Kiss said 'immediate, tangible steps' must be taken to ensure that incarceration is a last resort, including investment in preventive measures to stop people from being detained in the first place and to ensure their safety and wellbeing if they are detained. 'We need to end this cycle of abuse, injustice, and trauma. In many cases, duty of care is not being administered – from the point of arrest, within police custody, in prisons, and detention facilities,' she said. 'People's lives are at stake and their human rights must be upheld.' A spokesperson for Rowland said any death in custody was a tragedy. The spokesperson said the attorney-general was working with her state and territory counterparts to 'accelerate progress on justice targets and achieve government commitments under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap'. 'The Attorney-General strongly encourages state and territory governments to review their practices and continue to work toward effective solutions that ensure the safety and dignity of all Australians in the justice system,' the spokesperson said.
