I've shared this story before, but I'll do so again since it's somewhat near the topic at hand. I had boarded a plane in Chicago. It was a very full flight. I had a window seat near the back of the plane. One of the last passengers to board was a woman who I'm guessing was in her 30's. She found her way to my row, double checked her seat assignment, and in an extremely disgusted manner, reluctantly sat next to me. No sooner had she done so, she climbed out of her seat and accosted the flight attendant. She demanded a "better seat". The attendant told here there were no other seats. The passenger pointed at me and hissed loudly, "I shouldn't have to sit next to That!"
I admit. My feelings were a little hurt. Sure, I'm repulsive. Of course, I'm a hideous excuse for a human being. Obviously, my very existence is an affront to Nature. Still, I was offended.
I went to get a haircut. I was told to sit down and someone would be with me soon. I sat and leafed through some fashion magazine for about 10 minutes. A guy came in and said he wanted a haircut. He was asked if he had a reservation. He said that he didn't, and she took him in right away. Three young guys came in and wanted haircuts. They were shorn and sent on their way ahead of me. A woman, 2 kids, and 2 more men were all put ahead of me. I said, "Excuse me, I've been waiting." One stylist finally agreed to cut my hair. Throughout the whole experience she kept muttering, "Eeew!!!" Somehow she managed not to throw up on me. Ever since then, I refuse to go back to one of those places and pay someone to be rude to me. I can get that at home.
When I travel for business, I stay in my hotel room, order take out food, and do everything I possibly can to avoid interacting with People. I don't even want to go drive around. I just want to lock the door, close the curtains, and shut them all away. That seems to be a good solution for all of us.
