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.

🤣🤣 actually similar things have happened. I work in quite a small town where most people know me… I go to hairdressers in nearest city because I want a bit time out… but I have been asked about haemorrhoids in a queue whist buying wine, someone asked whether their hand could be fractured at a local cafe- multiple other things. I see it as being part community I serve and a privilege- although maybe not the haemorrhoids!
Thanks for the lovely support in this thread. To those who were worried I actually didn’t scream! I also am a person who’s moto is “don’t judge another man until you have walked a mile in his shoes” I was also reading a book about Buddhism and compassion for others so I did say I was trying to think kind thoughts!
Merry Christmas to everyone.

As my grandad used to say, "Don't judge anyone until you've walked a mile in their shoes... that way, by the time they find out you've judged them, you'll be a mile away and you've got their shoes."

I don’t think that the hairdressers salon is the place for making loud work calls. If you’re too busy then cancel your appointment. No one else wants to listen to that - it’s a place for relaxing. Even you are a busy working person. I’m with the OP here.

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”.

It's the hair dressers, not a spa.

'relax & be pampered'. No just a functional appointment.

but yes, it's very rude to be a loud twat in public.
