Aug. 16, 2005 - You can't bullshit a bullshitter

A few months ago at uni, my friend and I were studying when we were approached by a girl. She was doing hair salon promotions. They had a deal where you got all this cool sounding stuff for $45. My friend and I went "OH COOL!" and paid the money (like good little easily-persuaded consumers) with the idea that we would both go and have a 'pamper' day together before our birthdays in August. Our birthdays are this weekend and as it turned out, we couldn't find a common time.

 

So on Monday I made an appointment and travelled into the city. I noticed that on my brochure it said that you must pay $50 on the day as well for a hair cut. I'm not a fussy person and am aware of how vain I sound when I say "I only let MY hairstylist cut my hair". I accepted that I would have to pay $50 because that was part of the deal. That was fine with me.

 

I arrived to the salon and a guy with an accent greeted me in a very snooty way. Basically, I don't let people talk down to me unless its someone I have respect for and I deserve it. This fucking hairdresser could suck my non-existent wang for all I cared. So the procedures began and he asked exactly what I wanted done and I said I would get my hair re-dyed black and I won't be getting a haircut but understand I have to pay $50 for that anyway

"No you must pay $60".

"Why $60?"

"Well it says here that its $50 extra for a haircut or $60 for long hair and your hair is long" (all this said bitchily)

"So I have to pay extra because my hair is long even though Im not actually getting a hair cut?"

"Yes".

 

So as I sat there getting dye applied to my hair by this wanker my mind started to tick. Despite the fact that every word that came from this man's mouth dripped with disdain, he still asked the stock standard,

"So what do you do with yourself?"

"Oh I'm at uni and I'm a freelance writer".

"Ahh ok, who do you write for?"

"Well there is a university magazine that is distributed to all the major universities in Sydney"

"Is that very big?"

"Yeah we print about 150 000 copies every month"

"What do you write about in that?"

"Well everything really. I write about movies, books, restaurants. Anything that a uni student might like to know about. Since you have your promotions all over our unis, the editor thought it would be a good idea for me to check it out. So I'm writing a review on today".

"OH! Are you?"

 

Within about 5 minutes the owner of the salon had bought me a cup of tea over and the guy doing my hair was suddenly my best friend and saying "Well when you're famous don't forget me and I say "xxxx did my hair!" ".

I was literally pissing myself on the inside.

 

Eventually, everything was done and I approached the counter and got out 2 fifty dollar notes

"So it's $60, right?"

"Oh no no that's OK. It's been a pleasure doing your hair and since you're not actually getting your hair cut there's no need to pay".

"Well thanks a lot! Bye!"

 

I am not a freelance writer. I will not be doing a review. I felt dodgy about this after because I am very much of the mindset that if something is of value, then you pay for it. I am definitely one to tip and always let people know when they have done a good job. However, for this prick to see that I'm young and immediately speak to me like I'm a piece of shit with 2 arms, 2 legs and a head, I wasn't prepared to take it.

Lissie, people like this keep living like wankers until people with the on the spot brainpower to make them pay.. I love your work, nothing to feel bad about, I only wish you'd had a box of laxative chocolate to share with him while he fondled your hair..

That's such a fitting punishment for the place!

You're like the little voice in my head telling me to give people what they deserve. The evil one I think.
