The fact that you keep bringing up anti-social personality disorders

I think I used the word borderline? Like lower-case b borderline, like the edge of something. Not DSM material. "Slingblade Motherfucker" is not in the DSM-5 as far as I know. And sociopath is not a scientific term either...that's just a word for some maladjusted chap that gets so chuffed when a haircutter doesn't talk he has to take to the internet to celebrate!

I'm not addressing your particular behavior or statements in the least. I find your continued defense of an indefensible position to be annoying and I am simply grandstanding in this thread.

I get it. Peace and quiet is nice. Some people really want it or really need it. But there is a subtext in the celebration of that quiet that depicts a certain disdain and disrespect of haircutters and just haircutters...not really any other profession. It's rude and people should reconsider.

I have 4 kids. It fucking rocks when they are quiet. Do I have a right to expect them to be silent, except for basic, polite, transactional exchanges, at every meal we share? If I did you might think I was a shitty parent with some unreasonable expectations.

This meme goes beyond...I didn't feel like talking while I got my haircut and I didn't have to...yay! If you dig in, some of these folks have extreme resentment or discomfort with talking hair cutters. To the point that this should-be-expected sort of social chit chat is somehow transgressive. If you can't deal, then don't.

To me, this quiet fetish is a dismissive, shitbird idea about service workers who should be treated well instead of poorly. I snap on people who start the whole "minimum wage fast food my food was wrong retard" speech that is so popular on reddit. I will fight for teachers against a clueless populous.

You didn't do or say anything in this thread besides wanting to defend the desire to have a quiet haircut. If that was a tenable position, we could "order" a silent haircut already. I guess it's nice if you want it and it happens, but it's a dick move to propagate it as a thing on reddit. I mean, I don't really like talking to car salesmen, but could I really defend a car purchase transaction where the car salesperson didn't talk to me as a desirable outcome? Could I really expect that? I bought a Honda on the phone and a Tesla on the internet, but I still had to talk to people, God forbid, sometimes about things I didn't want to talk about.

A nice haircut is when you are happy with how you look and the price you pay and service you receive. You should treat that person like a human being, not some peon that shouldn't bother you. If you really are so warped that you must have a silent haircut, then ask for it or make alternative arrangements instead of seething in the chair and deigning to speak if you must.

Stop encouraging all of these redditors to be rude people in the real world! It is rude enough in here.
