A man asked the internet what to do with his beard and instantly regretted it

Twitter user Coop couldn’t decide whether to shave off his beard, so he put it to a vote on the social networking site.

Unfortunately, half of the 22 voters said yes, and half said no.

Any inside-the-box thinkers might have just given up, but not Coop. He took the vote much more literally, and shaved off half his beard.

That’s the price you pay for relying on other people to make your decisions for you.

Thankfully, others shaved in solidarity with Coop.
