I'm in the UK: went to my usual hairdresser at the start of the fakedemic. Idiots in visors and masks sprayed me and took my temperature when I walked in, told me I could not hang up my coat but had to keep it on my knees when I sat down. Then the stylist refused to come near me because I would not wear a mask. Should have asked if her's wasn't working, but got angry and walked out
Tried to find someplace else without success; same Covid protocols, some even charged extra for the spray! Two years went by, my hair grew longer until I felt I really needed to get it cut. Went to a very basic salon that caters for men, women and children. No masks, no sprays, no appointment needed. Got sheared for a fraction of what I used to .pay. Huge relief.
The lady who cut my hair said "Everyone's had enough, time to just get on with life" Felt quite emotional after, finally getting back to normal - THANK GOD!
Maybe it also has to do with national characteristics. In a simplified world view, it seems to me that the Brits are MOSTLY a compliant demographic, as are Canadians. But most Americans (at least the ones I know) tend to be anti-authoritarian and downright anarchists in our approach to authority.
A meme I have attached to my outgoing emails says "Americans be like..." and it shows a sign that says NO TARGET SHOOTING....and of course the sign is riddled with bullet holes. 'MURICA!!
That's what I love about Americans! I come from a long line of fighters and refuseniks so am not a typical Brit, thank goodness.
Yeah, banjo!!!! Never met a restriction I didn't want to fight!!
Please send me this. I must have it. Lol
