I am mortified..like, want to crawl under a rock and hide

It can happen to anyone who cooks. Don't beat yourself up.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It happens. To me it's not a big deal. I would eat anything you made.

Oh, I am so sorry. That is super embarrassing. But, anyone who cooks (and has long hair) has had this happen. Most people would be pretty forgiving.

I had a horrificly embarrassing thing happen the other day. I was texting back and forth with a woman I am planning a big activity with. She was driving me nuts with her comments, so I said out loud to my husband: "(name) is driving me NUTS!!" Then I look down at my phone and see a voice memo had just been recorded and sent to her! OMG!! So, I listen to it, and thank heaven it had cut her name off, and the rest of the phrase I had said in Chinese...So, I think I am safe, but, for a few minutes I was contemplating going into hiding for a few years.

I deserved it, though. You did not.

It'll blow over. (Hugs)

I think that whenever you eat home baked goods you have to expect that to happen from time to time ... not going to kill you   

Oh come on, it was a hair. No one died (did they?) Take in something else with a note that says 'this is to make up for the hairy pumpkin bread' add a smiley face and it'll all be good.

i do not bake/cook for others very often and it happened to me. it was a long blonde hair in banana bread.  

ever since then, if i am making something smoothish.... i take a fork and swirl it around in it, pulling it up to see if anything "grabs".

sorry... that sucks. but it will be forgotten soon, not to worry. 

Blame the hair on the last person who cut into it.

I made a salad once and I tossed in the dressing right before serving. I stirred in a good old fashion house fly. How?? Don't know. When it's my turn to bring the salad to this group someone inevitably says something like "I will have croutons but no flies please". Yeah 2 years later and it never gets old lol

I know people get grossed out by things, I just don't want you to feel bad when you did a nice thing for the people at work.

Honestly? Yes its probably your hair baked in but it could have been someone else's hair who was cutting it fall into the plate (someone might not look too closely and see it's baked into the grain. lol)

I have VERY long dark hair. I have had my hair fall into food. It happens. I get grossed out at everything but hair doesn't totally gross me out. I mean, it doesn't really feel appetizing to me but it's not something I am going to go into hiding for.

I'd totally make something else or bring in the kringle and make the "hairy baked good" joke. It's really not the end of the world. Don't go crazy over it. A hair fell off your head. It happens.

I'm cringing with you! I think people are much less (insert any reaction) in real life than they are in threads here though, so I'll bet people were more laid back about it than you might be imagining in your head.

ETA in case that didn't make sense - I think the food threads with grossed out people are completely over exaggerated here. In real life, people are much less likely to freak out and want to crucify someone for something that happens more often than we'd ever want to know. 

That can happen to anybody. But I get it.

You know this hair is 100% yours? I mean it's a distinct colour and texture and has to be yours? I say that because mine could get into food, too, but everyone in my family has short hair and if there's a long one it's mine.

If you can prove that beyond a reasonable doubt then you get a that sucks.

If you just *think* it's yours then you get a and a it might not be then
