Think before you speak

Sometimes I wonder about people. Well, actually I wonder about people a lot! There are a lot of strange people out there.

Last week I had an older man in for a treatment. He seems nice enough. And then it begins....

Him: "Do you do that thing where you paint the ladies nails?"

Me: "Yes. Does your wife get her nails painted?"

Him: "Oh, no! My wife doesn't even wear make up. I don't think women should wear make up. My mom didn't wear make up and neither did my grandma."

Me: " Oh..."

Him: "I don't even think that women should have their ears pierced. I don't understand why anyone would want to put hole anywhere on their body. Men either."

Me: "Oh..."

Him: "I don't think that people should have tattoos either. It use to be in our work handbook that you don't hire anyone with tattoos."

Me: "Well, I guess you can't really do that anymore. Huh?"

Him: "Well, not officially. We just give them another reason."

Of course the whole time I am thinking to myself  'oh dear! seriously?' I myself wear make up every. single. day. I have multiple piercings and many LARGE tattoos (I usually keep them covered at work. Especially in the winter)

He left and I thought "Wow! I wonder if his granddaughters know this is how he feels?"

Oh well.... on to the next....
