Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I went for my haircut yesterday and the discussion started with the Nashville shooting. The hairdresser talking about how automatic weapons were bad no one should have an automatic. I listened, at this point no sense in arguing because we live in Nashville and the subject is too raw to argue about. Then she went into how Trump was a horrible person She wouldn’t listen to anything I had to say and when I commented he had been wronged and asked if she read anything that he wrote or said. She went ballistic and screamed You’re accusing me of being uninformed and angrily left the room. I tried to explain to her the truth will come out and she needed to be ready and only those that wanted to know would see the truth. She would have none of it but It obviously hit a nerve….it’s very frustrating dealing with people that think they’re informed and aren’t ! I am at a loss but I guess All I can do is plant the seed and pray that she and others like her will eventually see.
Yeah, some people love to just hear themselves talk. I always let people guide a conversation, but when they go to open a window of opportunity, I bust down that door instead. If you don’t want to know my thoughts then don’t bring it up. That’s how I look at it anyway. Some just don’t wAnt to know the truth. I think they are afraid of it. Pray for the eyes to be opened.
She's not supposed to yell at customers. I have had customers who badmouthed Trump but I kept my mouth shut. We still have to maintain professionalism during war. Say if you enter a liberal business and they saw you w/ MAGA hat, you'd still want them to treat you w/ respect and let you do your business in peace, right?
This hairdresser must be a mess of a person.
Sounds like a wonderful haircut! 😅
How did your cut come out? I don't even like to risk engaging the stylist in too much conversation cuz then they don't concentrate. One time they were so chatty they kept taking more and more off and I ended up with the shortest cut she had ever given me.
Right? Not sure I would want a person like that near me with scissors! 😆
