Cutting Your Hair in the Sink… Then Making Her Mate Clean It? | Am I The A**hole? | Jimmy Carr

Quick Overview

The guest is judged to be the asshole for cutting his hair over the kitchen sink and making his girlfriend's best friend clean up the hair, with the final verdict leaning towards him being the asshole, although the girlfriend claims she is the neat freak and cleans up after him, leading to laughter from the panel and audience.

Key Points: The central conflict involves a man cutting his hair over the kitchen sink and expecting his girlfriend's best friend to clean the mess up. The girlfriend initially states she is a neat freak and cleans up after him, including the hair left in the sink. The boyfriend claims he attempts to clean it up, but the guest panelist (with the beard) strongly implies the cleanup was insufficient, calling the hair in the sink 'gross' (02:44). Jimmy Carr asks if the boyfriend's best friend is clean, to which the girlfriend confirms the boyfriend lives with her best friend (00:00-00:12). The girlfriend clarifies that the hair mess was found on the chopping board and in the sink after she had already washed dishes from breakfast (01:50-02:03). The guest panelist believes the boyfriend is 'nosy' and needs to spend more time on his own messes (04:44-04:49), while the female panelist suggests they are both not entirely clean (04:59). The final judgment is implied to be that the boyfriend is the asshole for the specific act of leaving hair in the sink/on the chopping board after his girlfriend cleaned up the breakfast dishes (04:36-04:42).
