funny story
today i went to get my hair cut, and i go to the aveda academy, so i get a different person each time. i don't have any loyalty to hairdressers, so i always go through the obligatory conversations of them getting to know me, etc.
the dude i got today was like 40 or 50 years old. he was telling me all about how he's been to hong kong like 20-25 times and that he loves it there. i told him i've only been there once, and that was like 15 years ago. in which he proceeds to ask me "did you go with your husband?" i didn't know if i should burst out in laughter or in tears. did he ask me that b/c at his age, that's the 1st thing people would assume a travel companion would be, a spouse, and it wasn't a direct jab at my age? or did he actually think i was old enough to have had a husband 15 years ago?
i responded with "no. i was like 7 or 8 years old. i went with my mom."
hahhahahah.
great haircut though!

I'm thinking it was him just not caring about the conversation. As in, he was just making small talk for shits and giggles.

yeah that's what i thought too. i rather him not talk than to pretend to make conversation and then not actually listen to me. for example, he asked me what i did, i told him. then halfway through the haircut, he asked me again.

I think thats when you should've made shit up...you should've said you were in Canada training for the 2010 Winter Olympics for ice cube making.

I don't like talking to hairdresser so I stick to the same one ever since I returned to HK -- she doesn't talk to me if I don't talk to her first. But after ten years or so, I find she's the only hairdresser that can cut my hair right!

I got my haircut ( when I had a little bit longer hair ) and this woman started to talk to me about the Secret and how she was trying to Secret herself more money. The whole time I was hoping she would either stab me with the scissors or drown me when she was washing my hair hahaha.

I don't know which is worse, the guy thinking you've been married for 15 years or people on the bus trip thinking I was a little kid travelling with mom. *sigh*
