If I had a following and perhaps a publicist I’d be worried about alienating some demographic ……..but seeing as I’ve never thought about the repercussions of my verbal or written gibberish……suffice to say I don’t care.
I suppose i should apologize before I go into some old man rant but….nah.
After spending two months in the Arizona sun
complaining about all the old people who can’t drive and all the younger people who drive like crazy people to spite all the old people who cant drive…….we were scrambling to clean up and close the rental house in order to fly home to Wyoming to spend Christmas with family
Id still be packing and cleaning if not for Karen……anyway, I ran to Apache Junction to store some stuff in the Mc5er while Karen “fixed” all the cleaning Id attempted the previous day.
So……I have time constraints as I drive the 25 miles…….we have a punch list 3 feet long before we can go to the airport……AND I am famous for a level of patience that rivals the head of a pin……………I was born that way….get over it.
I thought I’d get a hair cut on my way back to Chandler, in the olden days of my flowing mane I’d have gotten 2-3 estimates first as costs estimates could swing wildly.
.
I googled hair places as I drove like a crazed old person and eventually came across a sports cuts……having never been in one but assuming Id get to watch NFL reruns while 20 something women cut hair and pretended to listen to my old guy babble , I thought this is gonna be great….WRONG, there were three other dudes in the stadium like waiting area…….the receptionist who looked to have fallen face first into a fishing tackle box recently or perhaps was a product tester for a body piercing manufacturer gave me the all too familiar …look………….“ great !!!!…another decrepit boomer”!
Over her shoulder three 20 something gals jabbered on about the “fashion segment “ on QVC! Where the hell was football!boxing! Rugby!!!!! the three ignored their empty chairs and the three dudes in section C row F that had taken on the appearance of recently expired people….cool grey pallor unblinking unseeing eyes………
Receptionist ( AKA RapalaFace) : “ Did you make an appointment online”!
Me (AKA Boomer) : “No, I just need a quick trim”
Rapala Face: “ use the ipad there to set up an appointment”
She says this as she watches a faceplant video on her phone….never making eye contact or pretending that she gives a crap that I want to give her/them some of my money…….. “ fill out the questionnaire and take a seat,Jordan will be with you as soon as she is free”
Not sure which one of the 20 somethings was Jordan….hell maybe all three of the airheads staring at QVC and or their phones were named Jordan…….but there were three empty barber chairs…..three guys who had been waiting awhile….three airheads doing nothing….and myself….Mr no patience…Mr Im not filling out a questionnaire while you watch puppy videos on your phone….Mr Im STANDING RIGHT HERE!!!! Why do you need to know my address,phone #, alternate phone #, age,gender, how I heard about Sport Cuts……………all I want is a trim…………Im not interested in getting to know you……..Im not filling out paperwork that would rival organ donation requirements……..!!! I turned on my heels and headed out the door……as I stepped into the Arizona sun I heard one of the Jordans exclaim : “Look at that beautiful skirt Pippen”!!!! I guess they all weren’t named Jordan
