angry hairdressers

i'm used to hairdressers being impolite to me, making disrespectful comments on how much more care my hair seemingly needs and gazing sniffily at its uncombedness. now i realized that female shoemaker cashiers can be just the same. dude, i'm coming here because my shoes are broken and in a bad state! i'm giving them to you that you repair them and not look at me as if i'm a bad person for not taking better care of my shoes.
next time, i will certainly say: "if you don't wanna repair them, you just need to tell me and i can certainly take them somewhere else!" argh! i'm soo angry! (i had such a nice shoemaker in goettingen, just across the street from my home. one of those guys with dirty hands and apron; the room smelling of shoe shine and leather. and no disdainful horror in the sight of my shoes.)
unfortunately it is disproportionally harder to run away from a hairdresser's chair when it's getting too bad ("look at how nice your hair looks when it is brushed!"). well, i didn't come here for brushing!
