Work: Today, I went to get a haircut. Who shows up not 5 minutes later...

Today, I went to get a haircut. Who shows up not 5 minutes later to also get a haircut? My obnoxious, bully of a boss. She started chatting with me across the salon the entire time. There was no way to get out of the conversation. FML

Today, I got my hair cut. When I was leaving, my stylist was standing fairly close while we were talking. She reached out to smooth out my hair; I went in for a hug. She didn't want a hug. Everyone who was there just stared at me until I left the building. FML

Today, an incredibly rude woman came in for a hairdressing appointment. I had to put up with being yelled at and called a "clumsy bitch," a "pleb," and other insults for almost half an hour. When I finally managed to finish her hair, instead of tipping me, she spat at my feet and stormed out. FML

Today, I arrived at the salon to get my hair done for prom. The lady at the front desk insisted I didn't have an appointment. After looking back on my recent calls, it turned out I called the wrong number and whatever asshole was on the other line played along. FML

Today, I went to my hair dresser to get my haircut. When she asked me what I wanted, I told her "the usual". She confused me with another customer and gave me a mullet. FML

Today, while sitting at a table in a coffee shop, I overheard someone on the next table talking about their horrible boss. I joined in, complaining about mine, and going into great detail about what an arsehole he can be. Turns out, I was talking to my boss's sister. FML

Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML

Today, while out to lunch, my sister called me and asked me to pick her up from the mall. I told her she'd have to wait. She got pissed off and started cursing at me, so I hung up on her. She called me back 37 times until I answered and yelled "WILL YOU LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE?" It was my boss. FML

Today, I got offered a free $80 salon haircut by a girl I've liked for awhile. Thinking this was my chance to get close to her, I accepted, only to find out it was for a class her boyfriend was teaching. He was the one cutting my hair. FML

Today, a guy I genuinely hate more than anyone else in my life complimented my new haircut. I had to thank him or I'd be yelled at by my boss. FML

Should have slid the barber a little extra to take a little extra off the back of your bosses head

Try talking back. You never know you might find out they're not that bad. Some people just aren't cut out to be leaders.

You could ask your hairdresser to start talking to you, so maybe she would stop.

Sadly if the boss is as obnoxious as OP said, she'd likely just talk over any conversion OP was having with the hair stylist.

People are usually quite different outside of work, it could've been the start of a new friendship or your boss was just trying to be nice.

It goes both ways. I have coworkers who are just as big of jerks outside of work as in.

At least she didn't threaten to fire you

I don't think she can threaten to fire OP outside of the workplace, that'd be abuse of power and frankly a little stupid.

Should of started a fake convo with the stylist.

If you really wanted to get out of a conversation with her, you should've told her that the trimmer was too loud and you couldn't hear her. But then again, if she really is obnoxious, she'd probably just start talking louder.
