You would think this wouldn't be much of a problem, but I can ensure you from personal experiance that it is indeed possible for an idiot hairstylist to at very least cut a chunk out of the edge of ones right ear when one was only 4 years old somehow, leaving a notch in said ear to this very day which is really quite annoying.
The Second time that happened, when I was 10, i'm pretty sure I taught them some new words. Same damned ear too. And it's not like they stick out further than normal or something.
