A man is walking down a crowded sidewalk. He sees his mother's, sister's, father's grandson. He suddenly realizes that he has forgotten to get his hair cut. Why?

He saw his own reflection
I realise I have got here too late...

He sees his cousin, who is holding up a sign "Hi, Hairy!".

if he can see himself than he obviously doesn't need a haircut, cause the hair isn't blocking his vision...

He's obviously made an appointment at Toni & Guy and they've just called him on his mobile to ask where he is...
Could happen...

His evil twin brother is a barber with a shop on the street he is on and his Grandfather's daughter's sister has already comped him (his evil twin brother) for the haircut.
Orrrr.....
She pulled the yellow sticky tag, with the message 'don't forget' on it, from his forehead and showed it to him.
Orrrr..

He could be Guy Pearce in Memento and have it tattooed somewhere. Maybe the tattoo just started itching, he pulled off the bandage and hey presto : 'GET YOUR HAIR CUT'?

I have to agree with Danny, except that on a crowded "sidewalk" I reckon he saw his reflection in a shop window, rather than a "mirror"

How can his mother's grandson be the same person as his sister's grandson?

Ugi, that is why I said he saw his own reflection rather than mentioning mirrors. It was a probably vain attempt to steal a point off of Danny before he becomes uncatchable

I suppose it all depends how you define mirror And even if I have got it right, I've already given away my point to Gnomon for making me laugh

TC, are you asking about the original question?
The person he is looking at is his mother's, sister's, father's grandson.
In other words the grandson of his aunt's (mother's sister) father (his grandfather). Could be himself, any male siblings he has, or any of his male cousins.
Have I just made it worse?

Actually, TC, they are from way back in the hills and his mother IS his sister (oh, yuck!).
