I was picking up a loaded trailer of cardboard at Smurfit Kappa. This guy ran up to me like his arse was on fire telling me I must wear one of their hairnets in the wharehouse.
(That maybe sounds reasonable so far, but my head is shaved to within an inch of it’s life, there is more hair on a ■■■■■■ snooker ball)
I asked him if he was trying to be funny, and he said No, it was co policy for Health and ■■■■■■ Safety. All the hairnets had gone from the box, and I couldn’t really be arsed with this guy any longer, so I said I would wear my wooly hat instead, and was that OK. He thought about it (intently 
) and said ‘OK, …but just this once’ 
Anyway I was nearly done strapping up, and matey comes back with one of his hairnets, I accepted it,…and put it on my head over my wooly hat 
. He looked baffled and stared at me puzzled for about 10 seconds, you could tell it had threw him, and off he went. Still at least it gave him something to talk about at home to his Mrs , something different happened to him at work on an otherwise routine boring day
Had the same a couple of years ago at smuffits in mold, at the time my head was shaved smooth that morning and I still had to wear a fetching bright red hair net.
It’s not just for hair… Even though your bonce may be almost shaven you van still have flecks of loose skin., more common on the head than anywhere else
Thing is the place was just cardboard packaging and I was nowhere near it 
Had something similar at the birth of my youngest son, it was an emergency caesarian and the hospital made me strip naked and wear one of their surgical gowns and caps and masks, even had to scrub up. Bloody hell I thought im only going in for moral support I aint performin the op.
Anyway it turns out that although I looked resplendant in my hospital gear I could have left me undercrackers on as it was pointed out my tackle was on show during the procedure.
Good news is all went well but my now15 year old son still tries to get out the car via the sunroof.
I do think that where a hair net is required us folically challenged folk should have to wear a swimming cap.
Ive done a few shifts at a bakery and you need a hairnet when entering the main building there. I can kind of understand that,even though ive never in the ACTUAL bakery and the bread is all sealed in theparts I go to, but for waste cardboard?
Hairnets etc. is common now Arla, Cotts etc. the latter doing canned drinks! It is not about hygiene, it is about convincing the health and safety - Hygiene mafia that “we are a good company give us some contracts”. It is just more BS the HGV driver has to follow.

OK bud, I’ll take my forensic detective style hooded boiler suit, and my plastic bag overshoes with me next time, that should cover every avenue. Oh, and I’ll promise not to cough ■■■■ or pick my nose.
Do you really believe all this crap?

I once went to a bakery, I also was nowhere near the food dept, but picking up a trailer in the yard, but I had to wear a surgical mask like Michael Jackson as I had a goatee beard at the time.

I personally think the risk level increases quite significantly with these caps…
That is why there are so many lorry accidents lately
I’ve done plenty of paper drops and not once have I been made to wear a hairnet.

Quite right too. Anyone sporting a goatee beard 
, should be made to cover it up before leaving the house .

If you had to wear that for a goatee God only knows what they’d make me wear…

How DID you guess?
Let’s be honest the only thing being hurt is someone’s pride or machoness. What the he’ll does it cost you to put a net on ur head beard etc because a company wants you to. Your not paying for the stuff, just crack on do as asked or go find another job it really is that simple.
