I think that I am cursed. I always end up having these crazy haircutters (not crazy in a good way, mind you).
When I was in college, I used to go to this barbershop that was near the University. They gave the best haircuts that I have ever gotten. However, after a while, I started realizing that all of the people who worked there were obviously racists. It was kind of shocking, really. Up until that point, I really had no direct contact with anyone who was overtly racist. They didn't seem to have any problem with Asians, but I still felt that I had to stop going there. I felt that by continuing to give them my money was acquiescing or supporting their ridiculous viewpoint.
Right now, my problem is that the stylist I have been going to seems very uninformed about a lot of issues, but yet feels the need to constantly voice their opinions nonetheless. I mean, it would be one thing if the person had an opposing opinion to mine, but had a well thought-out argument for why they feel that way. It's another to believe in an opinion with absolutely no thought behind it.
I just can't take it anymore. I will need a haircut soon, and I'm going to start looking for another place to go. The whole process of getting a haircut is now very irritating to me, because I know that I will have to spend 30 or so minutes listening to someone drone on and on about things they know nothing about.
Ideally, I would like to be able to go to a haircutter, and just have my hair cut in silence. I don't need to talk to the stylist. I mean, really. That way, if they were completely insane, I would never know about it. Or, they should at least keep the conversation on innocuous things like the weather.
