I know I must sound like the scabbiest fecker ever but I’m telling you the country is gone mad lately.

I went to the hairdresser last Saturday morning to get my hair done for a wedding. The hairdressers in particular was more up-market than what I’m used to. In other words, it wasn’t Shelia, from down the road’s kitchen. But still, it it was no Toni and Guy either. I asked for GHD curls to be put in my hair, which basically means curling the hair with a hair straightener(?! strange but true).

As I sat peacefully while the hairdresser wrestled with the mop that calls itself my hair, a thought occurred to me. How much should I leave as a tip? I have to admit the whole tipping thing confuses and worries me so this meant I spent most of the next 40 minutes mulling over the problem. I eventually reached a conclusion. I deduced that my curls would probably set me back about 25 euro so if I left a 5 euro tip that would be fine. With the decision made and my time on the chair finished, I was relaxed, and gleefully admired my new poodle-like hairstyle. My glee was short lived though as the amount I owed was revealed to me. What?, I thought, that can’t be right, 51 euro! I must have heard wrong. But no, much to my disbelief my curls cost 51 euro! As I emptied the contents of my wallet and handed over my hard earned money, the receptionist had the cheek to stand there and look at me like I owed her something else. She practically took the clothes off my back and now she wanted more. Greedy bitch! Well, I left her fucking standing there!

I think though, I can rest easy in the knowledge that although I was stupid enough to pay 51 euro at least I wasn’t stupid enough to leave a tip too!

God I am a scabby bitch!
