They’re like old, wrinkly, Italian puppies

says G of the barbers in his preferred barbershop. “You can’t just go in and wait for one, they all look at you. Pick me! Pick me!”

I explain how I’ve been going to the same hairdresser for twenty-two years, and how when I go in, I only see Ann Marie. None of the other stylists feel slighted, it’s just The Way It Is. So after waiting outside for Mario to start looking like he was going to be finished, he accepted my explanation and we went in.

What would you do?

If you heard a nasty rumor about someone dear to you, who was in a service position to you? And they were going to be performing their service very soon, and you didn’t believe the rumor? Would you tell them what you’d heard? Or confront the rumorer (who is a known drama queen)? Who you don’t even know, but you heard this slander through a third party. I didn’t tell the rumoree what I’d heard, because I thought it would really hurt them. And I don’t want them thinking that I believe it, not for a second. Aughhh!
