Strange Day

<>This morning, I was about to head off to another city to meet one of my clients.Any way, I decided I would have my hair cut before the trip so I would look a bit decent and presentable at the pending meetings.I went to my usual hairdresser and as I was waiting, I hear this guy chatting away with my usual hairdresser.He started with a bit of social chit chat, such as; how are you doing?, how was your weekend? etc.<>Then out of the blue, he popped the question "Do you want to go out with me?"<><><>The hairdresser was startled...she went "huh!" and gave him strange look.<><><>Undeterred, he persisted....he asked another question: "you have a boyfriend or something?!?".<><><>She said "No, I am married!", stops for a few seconds and then repeated..."I am married <>".<>Well, I thought that would shut him up!!But still he was undeterred...he went on..."can I have your number...your mobile number, I mean?"She responded with..."No, I can't give out my mobile number, I can only give out the business number here".To which he said, "No, I don't want the business number here, I want your number so I can take you out"....he added " And we don't have to tell your husband!!.....just keep it a secret between us two, you know....we go out, have a good time, have sex and all...it will be a secret between the two of us!".<> I thought...WTF!!....there was about 10 people in that room and we all heard his proposal.<>The hairdresser went red in her face - I am not sure whether it was because of embarrassment or anger, but she retorted "look I do not have a mobile number, OK...and I have a husband already!!!".<><><>By now, everyone in the room was quiet - there were 8 ladies in that room, just he and myself were the only guys, and at that point, I wish I was not a guy, because all the ladies gave him the death stare!!! <>Well, he went quiet after that.......not a whisper came out of him for the next 2 minutes as she quickly finished cutting his hair.I thought that was the end of the drama for the day..but no, there were still more to come. Any way, as soon she said the hair cut was done, he got up, tried to walk out...without looking back and without any intention to pay.But the owner of the shop interjected..."excuse me, sir, you forgot to pay!!".To which he responded "WHAT!....You expect me to pay for this lousy haircut from that ugly *****!!".<>I thought "WTF man, one minute, he was trying to get into her pants and the next, he was calling her an ugly ***** because she rejected him!!!".

He cursed and swore....but the owner stood her ground, she was insistent that he paid for the hair cut.....After a few minutes of argument with the owner, he relented, paid for his hair cut and stomped out. I felt so bad....and as soon as he was gone, I said sorry to her and asked her if she was OK.Any way, I was her next customer, and I made sure I kept the chit chat to the weather, the holidays, etc...... and after it was all done, I thanked her and gave her a $50 dollars tip because I felt so bad.<>Her face suddenly lit up like a Christmas tree and there was a broad smile across her face as she said "thanks". I was about to say "I will see you next time" when she blurted out..."have you had lunch yet?"I went "Huh!" with a surprise look on my face..."is she flirting with me, I thought?", but I quickly recovered and said.."Uh, no, not yet, I am just about to head off to the airport".But before I could add anything further, she blurted out..."Oh, I am really not married....I just say it to jerks like him to get them off my back!".Wow!!!...Wow!!!....Wow!!!...I thought. Any way, she wished me a safe trip and said she look forward to seeing me again.<>Wow!!! ......What a strange day!!!

Hi Van. Mate, the Lady in question was giving you an open Invitation.

I hope you accepted to take up the option she offered.

You should've made arrangements to meet at another time that suited you both.

I'll bet you put her down in your Little Black Book though> Ha Ha

When opportunity strikes , you have to seize it with both hands!

He who Hesitates, is lost....Opportunity!

Have a great week. Cheers....Dekka

Wow, so many responses.

Thanks...

In answer to some of the questions, this happened in Melbourne, Australia.

And no, there was no requirement to tip....I did it voluntarily.....I felt the guy was an S.O.B who overstepped the mark after he was rejected.....And yes, $50 AUD tip is a lot in Thailand, but not so much in Australia.

He initially took the risk in asking her out and when she said no, he should have just stopped there and then......but he took it too far when he tried to punish her by refusing to pay and then complaining to her boss.

And no, this guy is not a member of TF. I am not sure even if he has ever been to Thailand.

We never said a word to each other or met before - the first time I saw him was this morning at the hair salon.

As to whether I have an opportunity with her, I am not sure....but Green_Tea is probably right about this - the hairdresser just wanted to be treated like a decent human being.

Van, you are such an excellent writer! Thank you so much for sharing this story!

What a freak this guy was! And such a twist in the whole story when it was your turn. Very funny! I think I would have been as embarrassed as you, and because of that I understand why you walked away after her invitation... always a gentleman, haha.... omg... by the way you had to catch a plane as well...

A couple of weeks ago I saw a very annoying man talking to a barman. His behaviour was quite rude and he talked very loud. A real pain in the neck I would say! Ordered a coffee. Drank the coffee instantly. Went up to the toilets. Came back, half falling down, shouting, making gestures to other clients.

The barman was new there I had noticed. He didn't want to have any trouble on his first night. The rude guy wanted to walk out without paying. I saw the hesitation of the barman. He said: 'You still need to pay!". The man stumbled back. Put his fist up. Went to his pocket trying to find some money. Made gestures. He looked freaky and... a bit dangerous. The barman suddenly turned and said: "Ah well old chap, it's on the house!"

I wondered if the whole scene was planned by the old twerp. I wondered if he would call his friends to do the same trick at this bar. I realized that actually the annoying behaviour just had been rewarded. Then I heard a collegue talking to the new barman that he shouldn't tolerate this anymore. "We are not a charitable institution", he said. "Next time let this man pay first, before he gets his coffee. We know this man. He always tries to get away without paying! Just kick him out by forhand next time"

Do you think your annoying man at the hairdressers also had made his plan to try to get away without paying and therefore had insulted the lady? It's a win-win situation in many cases. Or getting laid (small chances though) or getting away without having paid...

Strange world!
