Getting my haircut tomorrow. I dread the small talk. Too bad they can’t knock you out like at the dentist.
@dammitbits only one worse is a chatty masseuse
@dammitbits yea it could be so relaxing...
@dammitbits @gupton68 This is why I try to get my haircut in countries where I don’t speak the language.
@dammitbits my dentist won't even knock me out 😔
@dammitbits I'm so with you, not sure which one makes me more uncomfortable, the ones who want to talk about me or thee ones who talk about themselves . Luckily my trims are about 10 minutes.
@dammitbits One word answers and a big tip at the end. Next time I will be complete silence.
@dammitbits some hairdressers offer "silent haircut"

@dammitbits

Philip of Macedon got it right.
'How do you want your hair cut, your Majesty?'
'In silence'

Often attributed to the even more appalling Enoch Powell, although he was quoting P of M.

Also there need some code for taxi drivers to be, or preferably not chatty.
