I was once at a barbershop getting a haircut. I was sitting on the barber's seat, and the barber is cutting and combing my hair.
I was thinking of something, when I noticed that he -the barber- had stopped. I noticed his pause because what he was doing was rhythmic.
Now, he's standing to my right, doing nothing, but who cares man, I thought to myself then I heard him say something like "flip a coin."
I looked up and smiled at him, but that smile was a fatal mistake, that's because I looked nice to a person of a society to which being nice is still perceived by both genders as a sign of weakness.
I thought: Those barbers here, at this barbershop, are lazy and their life is quite peaceful, hmm... maybe I should become a barber. Then another barber, who was setting on a chair behind us, said to my barber: "Do you think he's thinking of your question! He didn't hear you!" and he looked at me. Now wait a minute, those guys are talking about me?! Oh Dear Lord of Abraham and Moses!
My barber looked at me and informally said: "what did you decide on?"
"Pardon me?!"
"What do you prefer to apply on your hair? Cream or gel?"
I replied: "oh yes sure! Gel err... I mean cream. Pardon me I didn't hear you!"
"I thought you were waiting for some divine revelation to come down upon you", said the barber sarcastically.
I laughed at me and him, then I tried to return back to my thoughts, and I thought to myself: either those guys need to get training in customer care or I need to get training in salesperson care. Heh!
One should be careful not to lose one's chain of thoughts when getting pensive in pseudo-tranquil places.
