The other day…

I picked up my Sis and baby niece to go to Albany for our Nephew’s birthday party (he turned 2 today).

As per usual, we hit Dunkin’ Donuts for Latte’s and picked up some Valentines Heart shaped donuts to bring with us for the party, etc.

We always find something to talk about to fill the time - be it her husbands work on their house, our Cousins, or whatever.

This time my Sister told me that our Co-Worker had gone to a local hairdresser on my Sister’s recommendation.

As my Sister tells it:

Our Co-W said something like this: “It was great time wise. I was in & out in 20 minutes, she did a great job on my hair.”

“But, I’m never going there again.”

I said: “Why?”

Jenn said: “Well, apparently the hairdresser (the owner of the place, whose name I won’t use) started going on about how Liberals & Gays are moving into the area and ‘THOSE PEOPLE’ are screwing everything up.”

Me: *gasp* “Really? Oh, my God.”

Jenn: “Then she started going on about how her Son had been suspended from his High School for Cyber Bullying. Apparently she said “and he never would have gotten caught if other kids hadn’t turned him in.”

Jenn then said: “and I don’t blame her for not wanting to ever go there again. Neither do I. After all, my friends are ‘THOSE PEOPLE!’”

I said: “Me too and I don’t blame her either. I don’t want to go there again, myself.”

We then had a discussion about how obviously this woman (regardless of her political beliefs) is homophobic, which I never got from her the few times I went there and also you could glean from her comments that she believes her son should be Cyber Bullying people.

I don’t know what made her think that everyone who sits in her chair would have the same views she would have.

Anyway, I was personally horrified (esp. since my views are different from this woman’s and so are my Sister’s).

So, I now need to find someone else to cut my hair - should I ever choose to have someone else cut it that is.
