Going to scream at woman at hairdressers

Sitting at hairdresser, foils in , reading my book. There is a woman next to me using the hairdresser as her office - laptop, cell glued to her ear, shouting down her phone, trying to do a deal.
WTAF - total lack consideration for others around. She is probably under pressure so part of me is trying to think kind thoughts.

I had somebody like that next to me when I was in the ward in the hospital after my son was born. I went home. Some people are very strange indeed.

I'd have a word with the manager (if there is one) or "main" hairdresser, or actually just you hairdresser.

People go to the hairdresser for a bit of pampering, a bit of me time, a bit of lightheartedness and relaxing. Not to be reminded of an office environment and get stressed out by shouty calls.

People should be told to pack it in if they're doing that sort of thing . Say if that lady books again make sure she comes phone free and don't book her in the same timeslot.

Drives you nuts that sort of carry on.

It should be a place for her to relax and be pampered. Maybe she’s in a stressful job and just can’t “switch off”.
